exercise
Laurens working out (which in the 18th century was a variety of activities, but for Laurens, typically meant fencing or horse riding), because I'm under the impression that Laurens likes to spend his spare time exercising or studying, which he calls the "Recreation of his Mind" as his father writes in a letter. Featuring Ham with a flaming crush on Laurens, because that's my favorite thing and I always want to see more of it!

aides-de-camp, dog version
Someone requested Laurens with a dog(s), which I've actually been wanting to do for a very long time (even before you asked me - it's on my to-do list!), but I ended up turning the aides into dogs instead lmao - compare them to their human versions :)
#marquis de lafayette#john laurens#alexander hamilton#richard kidder meade#tench tilghman#robert hanson harrison#amrev#I like the thought that Laurens and Lafayette and Tench would be big dogs#Meade is a shepherd dog (horse boy) and Tench is a retriever#Lafayette is a poodle and Harrison is a working dog - like a sheep dog?#for Laurens - his inspo was a greyhound or a type of hound (an athletic breed) but the urge to give him longer hair was too strong#Laurens is part hound (greyhound / foxhound or smth) + part golden retriever ok#can I just say that Ham makes more sense as a cat...? here he's a terrier of some kind (Scottish terrier maybe? lol)

As someone particularly passionate about Lams, (hence my username) may I just say that your profile brings me unnecessary joy? Like.. the way you draw feels right.
One more thing, though. It's my birthday today, and I was wondering if you could draw a little Laurens doodle? Thanks!! 🖤
Aw, thank you very much! And happy birthday - here's a Laurens compilation (wips), just for you :)

#john laurens#asks#answered#oops look at all those wips!#amrev#a Laurens appreciation post :)#remember the Henry sketch? there's the arguing John side! lol

The people yearn for francis kinloch, oh so dear wonderful artist...
He's here!
+ a bonus Henry Laurens sketch (wip), if you're interested:

#francis kinloch#francis kinloch jr#asks#answered#full disclosure - I've had some of those sketches of Kinloch since forever but I just didn't like how they looked#fun fact: you are not the first person to ask for Kinloch#the Henry sketch is supposed to be “unhappy” - Laurens is arguing with him (not pictured)#oops did I make Henry look too good#I feel insane

Francis Kinloch
Here's my depiction of the notorious Kinloch, in vaguely blue/purple because indigo! Thanks to @john-laurens for your expertise and references - the portraits of Kinloch and his paternal family, and the context on the wealth of the Kinloch family (and Kinloch's irresponsible spending habits).

Aides-de-camp
My favorite revolutionary boys - it’s Washington’s military family! I will always find it entertaining how everyone was really tall and made Hamilton look small at average height. Shoutout to the best rider, Meade 💙 I’ll be so proud if you can tell who is who :) I posted bonus doodles and sketches on my insta
Special thanks to this useful post by @revolutionary-pirate for Meade! Meade doesn't seem to have a portrait like everyone else, so it was very helpful - I used their description and portraits of his family members as reference

he cherishes you
Lafayette being a good friend! I like to think that when Laurens and Hamilton argued, Lafayette would try to smooth things over between them because he doesn't like to see his two closest friends fight. (This song called "Gift of Kindness" from the soundtrack of The Rose of Versailles playing in the background.) A continuation of this :)

little lams - part 2
This absolutely never happened and never would've happened, but I couldn't resist drawing it anyway. I imagine maybe Laurens went on a trip visiting the West Indies and met Hamilton, and they became fast friends. I love what-ifs, and the thought that little Ham would've liked Laurens as kids is endearing to me. A continuation of this :)
#historical lams#john laurens#alexander hamilton#my art#amrev#they are so cute help#it's Laurens being like “I can just buy a new one?” and Hamilton being like “no!!!”#lowkey this goes out to the ask who requested for more little lams sharing a book(?) or smth along those lines#alternatively what if they hate each other at first - or Ham hated Laurens who gradually grew on him and now he doesn't want him to leave?

little lams
I imagine Ham would've been very pushy, very insistent, and would definitely ask Laurens what he's reading, what he's drawing, because he wants to know everything! A continuation of this ask :)

#historical lams#amrev#john laurens#alexander hamilton#my art#I'm laughing I feel like Hamilton was a “well actually” know-it-all type of kid like Hermione#in their own families Laurens was the oldest child and Hamilton was the youngest...and it shows!#as a middle child I can't relate#call me crazy but I think Ham's silly boy bangs are cute!#does this show up for you in the tags?

Oh can I seriously request something from you? Gosh you must be so full of requests
Remember the letter Hamilton sent to Laurens about John Andre, we never got to see Laurens reaction, I think it would be hilarious, and also how Hamilton would (or wouldnt) try to justify himself afterwards
Oh my goodness gracious - this one had me reeling!!
For those who don't know, you can easily find this letter online; I read it here - it has helpful section headers for context (because Hamilton just writes so much lmao).
I'd like to draw more of this, but for now, here's dismayed Laurens + bonus hamliza (who were probably writing to each other and not talking face-to-face, circa October 1780):



#john laurens#alexander hamilton#elizabeth schuyler#hamliza#historical lams#my art#Eliza with the bombastic side eye#I live for Eliza being: “this is my boyfriend Alex and his boyfriend John”

For sketchy requests – I'd love to see your take on younger/teenage John! I feel like he'd be adorably coltish and gangly before he filled out into his full height.
That is the cutest idea ever - I'd love to!
I might've made him younger than you meant lol (and I didn't get to feature his gangly teen limbs) but I want to draw more of little John, so...hopefully more to come!

#john laurens#amrev#my art#I audibly gasped when I saw this ask#my-deer-friend#sigh...oh to be young and not so depressed - right Laurens?#this gave me an idea to do a “side by side lams growing up” - please smack me if I forget

figure drawings / study
I had the chance to see Roman sculptures (they are very inspiring) and I felt the urge to draw them for practice; full versions are below the cut (though I omitted a certain body part for obvious reasons).
I imagine they're reciting lines from Cato or something haha (you can read about the theatrical production of Cato at Valley Forge in May 1778 by Mount Vernon / a more in-depth article by the Journal of the American Revolution)
*I referenced sculptures of Apollo, Mercury (Hermes), and an unnamed/unidentified Roman soldier for Laurens (the one with the shield) - unfortunately the statues I referenced are not on the gallery website; I took photos of them in person


Also: shoutout to the ancient gays
#john laurens#alexander hamilton#historical lams#my art#amrev#I haven't done figure drawing since uni (yes we had nude models)#I got lazy by the time I reached the hands and feet ok#I'm paranoid - am I gonna get shadowbanned for this? does this show up for you?#you should know that the 2nd Laurens face I redrew a million times. very frustrating#also: the 2nd is not a very accurate depiction of their height difference - I drew them separately ok#speaking of Cato - they have a show of Cato (Remixed) at Philly and today's the last day to see it
