Turning Stories into Art: Exploring Illustration and Creativity

By Ariel Hi friends! Ariel here, and today we’re diving into a magical world where words and pictures work together to tell unforgettable stories. Have you ever opened a book and felt like the characters, scenes, and emotions just jumped right off the page? That’s the incredible power of art! Illustrations bring stories to life, sparking our imaginations and making reading even more…

I wanted to make some clarifications because I’m being asked this alot. Puella is NOT Dulciter and Narinder’s daughter. Puella is Dulciter’s daughter before the lambs were slaughtered. Their partner at that time being Proditor. Proditor , was one of the elder’s helpers (as you can see in the amount of bells he has) and grew fond of Dulciter. Creating a little family. As the lamb’s slaughter began, desperation did too. Causing Proditor to betray Dulciter and Puella, thinking that he would be saved from the slaughter by selling off lambs. Little did he know that they’re coming for all sheep. Enjoy!

A little story about a kid who dreamt of becoming an artist 🥹 Only a few days left to grab the artbook before the campaign ends here: The Art of Kelogsloops I still remember the day I sat down with mum and told her I wanted to pursue art. “Don’t do it” she said. I think many people know the feeling of having their dreams shut down — it sucks. I even remember the fear of taking those first steps towards chasing this dream: it was scary, tiring and filled with uncertainty. But in the past few months spent writing this book, going back and reflecting on this journey has made me realise how far I’ve come and how it all started. I really am grateful that I get to do this each day and every day, so I truly owe a heartfelt thank you to everyone (except Mrs. T) Wherever you are right now, whatever it is you’re doing or want to do, keep going! #brbchasingdreams

Here are some painting tips, as promised. I hope they will help beginner artists!

Composition

Position of characters on the sheet

Choose the location of your character to be beneficial to the appearance of the art in general, you can accentuate the important places where the viewer should look first by using perspective and composition.

Tone sketch

Set the lights based on references, but adjust to your own, favourable lighting.

Contrasts come in many forms. Contrast in color (warm and cold), values (dark and light), shapes soft and hard, straight and curve, etc.

Less is better. Work on the details of the most important part of your work while cutting down everything else. If you do strong detail in one place, don't forget to add looser detail in another so the viewer's eye can rest. For example: If you are detailing a portrait, don't detail the background as much. Next to a place of high detail, there should be a place of low detail so that the picture does not look overloaded.

All in all, you can twist and break perspective, anatomy and shapes to convey your idea better. No rules are made of steel, they should support your imagination, not restrict it

Anatomy

Break down objects into simple shapes to arrange them in space.

Check references! plasticity comes first, then structure (muscles are important, but proportions and line of movement come first).

Take a photo of yourself, you will be able to understand how to perform your pose naturally. Color/light.

Light is part of the composition, put it in a way that highlights the important things. Air perspective

General rules of composition. From the general to the particular, first prepare the general scene, correctly place contrasts and accents, make everything important in contrast, and take the unimportant into an aerial perspective. (aerial perspective, or atmospheric perspective, refers to the technique of creating an illusion of depth by depicting distant objects as paler, less detailed, and usually bluer than near objects.)

When all the points are ready we can start working out the details.

When all the details are finished again it's back to the overall picture, looking at it from a distance. Check if the accents you wanted to draw attention to are working. They should have the highest contrast. Check if the contrast is not created by objects on the edges, where you don't want the viewer to pay attention. For example, if you are painting a portrait then the focus should be on the face and not on the details of the clothes or details in the background. (You can always convert the image to black and white and check the contrast)

Save the stages of your work to check against the initial idea and see what things have changed for better or worse!

HELLOOOOOO!! I wanted to announce that I will be opening up a “kissing booth”, this means that you may request anything from Dulciter! Reblog to this post with your request!!! Or dm me! And I’ll reply back with a drawing! (You can use your OCs/ doesn’t have to be strictly lamb). (This has been requested a lot (save me)). It doesn’t necessarily have to be a kiss, it can be whatever you’d like (nothing freaky please). I wanted to say thank you all so much!!! For the love and support, reaching almost 1k on tumblr, 660 on insta and almost 900 on TikTok. I don’t have the words to express my gratitude, after leaving art for a long time.. I did not expect that my silly little lamb drawings would catch anyone’s attention and now here I am, surrounded by amazinglot talented people. I hope to keep bringing a little joy (and suffering) to all of you! Thank you so much again 🍎
