You can hand-me-down any day, Weasley.

I’d like to let everyone know that I’ll be moving my online shenanigans to a different blog! This one is just a little too old and dusty for the kind of gal I’ve grown into. I will continue to post HP and other fandom related things, as well as art tips and advice!

If you’d like to continue to follow, you can find me at @saffie

I’m struggling really hard with finding my own art style, do you have any hacks to help me with this? And btw your art AmAzInG💞

Hi! Thank you for the message!

I would definitely say that repetition is going to be your best asset if you want to develop your own style. Draw the same thing over and over until you can draw it in your sleep. That, and venturing away from reference images. Use your memory of what things look like rather than leaning on references for support. References are incredibly helpful! But being too reliant on them takes away from the fluidity of the objects existence on paper, versus how it exists in reality. Practice lines, and also get in tune with how certain lines make you feel, or how certain combinations of paint and brush stroke make you the most happy. Be in tune with what specific parts of art spark the most joy in you when you do them, and then do them over and over and over. And you'll emerge on the other side of that with a unique style that no one else will be able to replicate.

Also, don't take it too seriously! Developing a style is going to require a ton of mistakes and things you don't like. You're going to throw a lot of drawing in the trash, and thats okay. Just keep going.

It’s not HP related, but here’s some stuff I’ve been working on in between class stuff ! :-)

you turn around in potions class and see this. what do you do?

also, do you guys want to see this one painted? I’m tempted..

Some happy Harry to ease your mind :)

There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and defeating a dark lord is one of them…

Here’s another Harry drawing I did a while ago, since you guys like my colored versions of him! Thought you might want to see this one as well!
