How I draw Raphael and Astarion. Idk if these guides are actually helpful (these old mfs are hard to draw) but these are observations I’ve made over the course of a year of drawing them.

Tips from experience: practice tracing over screenshots, study their unique proportions. Pay attention to angles. Defining smile lines and wrinkles using highlights, not just shadows, is a good tip to making their skin three-dimensional and not look too weathered and old. I’m a makeup nerd. Think highlight & contours. Emphasize bumps, ridges, valleys of their features using tonal contrast. But not too much.

Practice drawing noses with a circle at the tip like the first image of Raph. I found it helps outline the curve that dips down to the upper lip, and to understand that the cartilage caps over the nostrils (i .e. the nostrils are more like recessed cavities, not a hole 🕳️ .)

I’m happy to answer any comments or questions 🙈 and let me know if there’s any interest in making more of these (like Astarion’s front profile)

can i just say i love how committed you are to drawing different face shapes, including noses?? i’ve always been self conscious of my big nose and seeing you draw the characters with one every now and then has really helped with confidence so thank you for that ❤️

Awww it makes me happy that you feel represented in my art but also sad. Big noses are so beautiful and I especially love to draw it on women, always so ethereal! You know these „before and after“ vids? I don’t want to shame anyone for their decision to change their features, it just feels like an angel loses it’s wings when they do it and I blame society and its ridiculous beauty standards for it.

And I actually doubted my skills at drawing features so your ask means a lot ❤️‍🩹 I‘m inspired to draw more characters with big noses now—It’s time to be appreciated!

I love designing the Archerons and the bat boys cause I want them to look different from each other. There are so many beautiful fanarts of them, but the only way you could distinguish them is by their symbols (Feyre and her tattoos, Azriel and Cassian their syphons, Elain with flowers etc.). Sometimes I even have too look at the caption to know who’s who. I want people to look at my art and know instantly just by their faces.

I still want the Archerons to resemble each other so it's clear they're sisters, but the guys should all look very different from one another. I LOVE Nesta, Cassian and Elain in this. I‘ve done a pretty good job on Azriel and Feyre too, but Rhys pisses me off here. I feel like his design is so basic but idk.

— (Edit) I‘m trying to depict the guys as Albanians, I hope I‘ve done a decent job. I want Rhys to be half Türk, so hopefully you could tell? (I don’t think so)

Anyway, here’s some more face-study sketches that were collecting dust:

Merrill and Gwyn. I have an interesting version of Merrill in mind that isn’t evil at all. (I might change her hairstyle though)

I hope you have a lovely week 🧡

Not me suddenly found two study sketches of Hurrem from The Magnificent Century which I made 2 years ago 😭😭😭

I binged at this series so hard and can’t stop myself from taking screenshots of scenes I’d like to make study sketches. The series SO aesthetic. So now I have a lot of screenshots and idk when I’ll draw all of them 😅
