Straw Hats crew's preferred Printmaking Mediums

Summary: literally such a self-indulgent thing where I assign everyone a printmaking medium bc I love printmaking + the straw hats

Luffy: Cyanotypes. Doesn't need much diligence, and he finds it fun to collect strange objects or cool elements of nature from different islands to make prints with them. Tried to make a silhouette of meat once by holding it over the cyanotype, but ended up eating it, so it became a print of a bone picked clean.

Zoro: Stone lithography. Means he can use his muscle power carrying the stones and using the big heavy rollers. He can also rely on the natural beauty of wet on wet ink and stuff for nice looking prints since he can't draw well

Nami: Risograph. She likes the colors and the slightly technical side involved with the machine. Easy to mass produce posters and zines. 

Ussop: Photography. Likes to photograph nature, different buildings, and sometimes his crewmates. The photo development process is also very fun for him. Sometimes uses Nami’s risograph machine to make colored photos (at a price)

Sanji: Letterpress. With a little diligence he learns to appreciate the art of different fonts and precision involved in the letter work. Treats each print like a dish that must be prepared perfectly. 

Chopper: Silkscreen. Also enjoys the colors, and in love with the way layers of ink interact with each other on one surface. Prints t-shirts for everyone in the crew that each has a unique monotype drawing. It’s very endearing.

Robin: Intaglio. Likes how it requires a bit of knowledge about chemicals and markmaking techniques in order to make a fantastic, aesthetically pleasing print. Can get very fine details which is perfect for someone who likes to get “hands on”. With time, she learns to make very good etchings of flowers and such, but actually prefers simple and cute imagery (like what Chopper makes)

Franky: Woodcut relief. Actually so good at this you have no idea. He makes the most beautiful arabesque imagery that would usually decorate the sides of fancy stairwells and ballrooms. 

Brook: Linoleum relief. The rubber is flexible and easy to carve into... unlike the bony hands he uses the tools with! It’s a very different art from music, but he finds some enjoyment in it as he can carve illustrations of whatever his heart desires (panties) 

Jinbe: Water transfer printing. Requires him to use a more gentle and exact approach to working with water than the techniques he uses to fight, so he enjoys the variation. Gets a hobby of giving all the removable parts of the ship a new colorful coat, making the Sunny look a little clownish from a design point but Luffy likes it so he orders Franky not to touch it.

I was flipping through my little memo book and saw this, which I had completely forgotten I drew, and thought, am I crazy or this kind of cute?

Teaching them to say "I love you" in your native/foreign language: (Robin, Luffy, Sanji, Law) x GN Reader, SFW

Notes: [text] is supposed to mean it's in your language of choice

Whether they're saying "I <3 u" platonically or romantically is up to you

Summary: their approach to learning language plus how successful they are about being taught

Robin

In general, she's interested in learning the dialects of the world, and will ask you to teach her other phrases in your native tongue too.

This becomes a whole thing, and in the daytime the other crewmates can hear your voices repeating phrases like,

(Off pronunciation) "[I want directions towards the East Blue]"

"No no, you gotta say it like... [I want directions towards the East Blue]..."

When you two get night shifts together, a lot of it is now spent coaching her on the phonetics and sometimes writing the words out for her to learn too. Before, conversation with Robin was a bit difficult to achieve, so you're glad you're getting to spend time with her this way.

She's a very good student and achieves excellent pronunciation thanks to ur help.

Emotional language doesn't come easy for her, but after one particularly productive session of learning, she smiles and says, "Can you check my pronunciation on this again? [I love you]"

Luffy (+ a lil Zoro)

He's not an easy person to teach but lord you can try.

At first, you try to teach him + Zoro practical phrases in case either ever gets lost in a foreign country, but they both misconstrue sentences and always end up accidentally saying the most vile and awful shit imaginable.

You decide to teach them just one phrase, as love couldn't possibly be misunderstood.

"Repeat after me Luffy, Zoro, [I... love.... you...]"

"[Į... ļõve...ÿou...]" "[İ... łove... ou...]"

Luffy repeats the new phrase once curiously, and then something clicks under that big straw hat. He gets a great big smile on his face and starts saying “[I love you! I love you! I love you!]” as fast as he can to you, over and over. He starts going around saying it to everyone in the crew, who have no idea what he’s saying but smile anyways. Zoro acts like he doesn't care enough to say it in a he's-actually-just-too-shy kind of way.

Once, you guys encounter an enemy who speaks your native tongue, so Luffy says the only phrase he knows... declaring his love to the enemy, which baffles them but has you laughing your ass off. 

Sanji

Actually it happens that he's already memorized how to say "I love u" in just about every language across the blue seas... because he wanted to make sure he could get his message across to any lady in the world, even if they don't speak his language.

Absolutely pretends like he DIDN’T KNOW though, so you can teach him and hear you say "[I love you]" a million times.

Learning foreign languages was also something impressed on him by his father as part of an unkind curriculum, so getting to experience it in a new light with you, as a man free from his family, is something which deep down he is very grateful for. 

Will now alternate between saying he loves you in English and in your dialect when he sees you. 

Law

Besides being good at fights, as a doctor, he has a very studious side of him too. However, he rejects having the first phrase he learn to be “I love you,” instead of something practical. 

If you want to be a little mischievous you can promise to teach him a polite greeting when you’re actually teaching him to say, “[Good evening, may I be so kind as to propose my eternal love for you?]” If he ever finds out he’s going to get your ass beat though. 

Wouldn’t seek out learning because he has other things to do as captain, but if you two are ever bored together he’d enjoy having you coming over and teaching him. Sometimes you like pulling out one of medical books and translating different body parts and organs for him to learn to the best of your ability. 

One snowy day you find him standing alone on the deck of the Polar Tang, and maybe because he had something to drink that day, he starts talking to you about the Heart Pirate's crew and how grateful he is to everyone but especially you. At the end, you almost don't catch it, but you swear you hear him say, "[I love you]"

He's cold now!

Straw Hats (Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Ussop, Sanji) x Skilled Artistic Reader (GN) (SFW)

Summary

What it's like using them as models

Their relationship with your art and art in general

Among other miscellaneous things 

Luffy

Doesn't stay still enough for good drawings, only quick sketches.

Only time you can get a well loving sketch of him is when he's sleeping, and when he wakes up and sees you he calls you "weirdo" in the most Luffy way, though he doesn't actually care at all

Will ask you to draw silly creatures for him and absolutely loves what u come up with, will clap his hands and laugh and want to show it to everyone in the crew

Will make his own additions of silly creatures to your sketchbook when invited to do so. And sometimes even uninvited to do so.

Zoro

Very neutral about art, doesn't really get it

Will pose for you with his swords if you ask for it. You think he's being a very good model because he's been standing perfectly still for the part hour, but then you realize he's straight up fallen asleep standing up. Which is impressive in its own way

Usually doesn't look at what you drew, but once when he did he said, "Pretty cool, so I haven't been posing all this time for nothing." And that makes your heart sing

Nami

Impressed by your drawing skills, which is high praise from someone who can draw perfect cartography with pen and ink

Will let you into the map room and allow you to help her fill in the map keys with geographic details like trees and town regions

Lets you draw her in her favorite clothes, and sometimes in the clothes you pick, as a treat. Otherwise it costs berries ❤️

Her arms tire easily so you have to pick easy poses for long drawings

Ussop

Actually loves to draw too!

It's nice having someone to work parallel with at art. Ussop is especially nice to draw with because he's fine with both being quiet and filling the air with his stories, which keep you entertained while working.

He enjoys drawing nature and animals the most, but sometimes, you, when you're not looking.

He likes to choose the coolest most difficult poses to make when you draw him, and will stay in the pose until his limbs start to shake. Won't give up until you're done. Really appreciates your art.

Sanji

"Nude model for you y/n-san...?? Of course I will!!"

But no one said anything about nude modeling....

Is a good model besides the way he fidgets when you stare at him and the goofy expressions that crop up on his face.

A bit dumbfounded when he sees the result because you captured the unsavory look on his face instead of the suave one he was going for. Once he gets over it, he starts fawning over your artistic skill.

Tries his best to draw you in return. Attempts to ask if he can do a nude but Nami wacks him. Zoro bullies him when he's making it, commenting "Is that supposed to be y/n?? Hahaha!"

He wonders if he should even show it to you, but you coax it out of his hand. It's not perfect but it's very sweet.
