I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.

You are like, an absolute master of costume layering and I must know what is your secret? Do you just compile a bunch of references and go to town? Or is there a general order you like to go in for all your costume designs? Are you thinking silhouette first or is there lots of adjusting until it’s just right? I must know!!! I love your designs!!!!!

AHH thank you so much you're so sweet!!! 😭❤️ I promise I don't do anything super complicated or thought out, but I can try to explain:

I usually use Pinterest for references, and I have a huge board of clothes I comb through and save to whenever I see something cool. while I'm drawing, I look off to the side to scroll a bit and add whatever I think could work while I draw!

General order I usually go sketch -> lines (sometimes) -> color -> fabrics and textures -> rendering -> then jewelry with final details. Mostly, I just think about it as "big stuff first, little stuff last" so that adds more opportunity for layering and adding on other details.

Often when I'm doing jewelry I wait until everything is done and then I sketch over on top with the opacity turned down so I can see what I'm doing. I then line it and color it as usual and merge everything together!

I have a tutorial up on my old blog about how I do costumes with textures and patterns and you can see how I approach it by sketching out outfits and doing the clothes regularly, and then drawing on top with a pigmented color to define things like belts and accessories !

There is ALOT of going back and forth, turning the opacity down, drawing on top, coloring it, then merging everything, and repeating until I get everything I like. I hope this made a little sense but genuinely the way I go about it is "this looks cool. let's add it"😭

You're the first one to think of me as a friend.

when I say “Let me ask my husband”, one (or both) of these things is taking place:

1. I am in a loving, happy relationship where we value and respect each other’s opinion

2. I am using this as an excuse to get out of something I don’t want to do (sorry habibi)

what is not happening here: I am being oppressed
