princess tutu: die jahreszeiten 🌸

kind of a companion piece to my 2022 ptutu drawing | it's on inprnt

this print was at anime north; next con is otakuthon!

oops so my hand slipped and i made another princess tutu drawing. i admittedly don't watch that much anime so my catalogue of work is gonna be the same 5 animes LMAO. what can i say, i love "dark" fairy tales, and i've been really enjoying the more fine art approach to a lot of my drawings as of late (and the watercolour brush i've been using has been so perfect for that...!)

as my first princess tutu drawing is now 2 years old, there are some areas i've grown to have ... qualms with... although both drawings as a whole are pretty much exactly what i envisioned, and that's always satisfying!

both of these were drawn in roughly a week's time (yes really...) for con crunch period (and i went back to this drawing after the con to touch up some areas that were a bit rough!). i wanted a different approach to this new pt drawing, with the focus on the line work, rather than on colours and lighting in the 2022 drawing.

this drawing had 2 goals: to continue the style i adopted in my witch hat atelier "lantern bearers" drawing (which i promise i'll post in full soon as soon as all of the zine artists get their go-ahead to post their pieces!), and to emulate the art nouveau movement's heavy emphasis on line work, albeit not a 1:1 style replication of course.

the seasons also aren't a 1:1 representation, as i didn't necessarily pick flowers or colours that are most strongly associated with the season (e.g. summer being a dark tone is a bold choice?). but it's kinda whatever, as i said before i drew this in a week, there may be more appropriate flowers with better meanings. i couldn't spend too too much time drafting and researching.

FLOWER SYMBOLISM:

- spring: apple blossoms, tulips - the apple blossom is a quintessential spring flower, and thus symbolize the arrival of spring. spring is a season of change, which ahiru/princess tutu is a force of, instigating change in her friends and unravelling the story around her. the flowers below her are tulips, and there are many meanings to tulips depending on the colour, due to their ubiquitous nature. i narrowed on one, and intended for them to symbolize happiness. princess tutu's pose is one in which that is open, inviting, and warm - reflecting her nurturing nature in the series, and her willingness to help others achieve happiness.

- summer: deadly nightshade flower, yellow rose - i chose for rue/princess kraehe to symbolize a fiery summer's night instead of the typical dazzling heat of a summer's day, a rather bold and unusual choice. the warmth of sunshine didn't quite fit, as the character is quite dramatic and passionate, with her intentions often hidden in shadow. next, the deadly nightshade - atropa belladonna - has a lot of mythological associations, a lot to do with poisoning, as the flower is toxic. the flowers bloom at night (another reason why i picked a nighttime backdrop for "summer") and also outwardly match rue's dark design scheme, as the cherry on top. yellow roses, at the bottom of her frame, are the archetypal flower depicting jealousy (as with many yellow flowers are), and at one point in the story, rue only wished for her own happiness at the misfortune of others.

- autumn: douglas fir needles, orange calla lily - autumn is another season of change - although much more tumultuous, as this season is traditionally taken to prepare for a long winter ahead - fitting for fakir as the role of the storyteller. the douglas fir is not a flower of course, but is a tree - with many different parts of this tree offering many benefits in advance of the winter season. i wanted the versatile nature of the douglas fir to reflect on fakir's dependable personality. next up, the calla lily is a flower with a dual meaning - on one hand you have life, on the other you have death. a storyteller quite literally can grant both at the tip of their fingers.

- winter: birch tree, snowdrop - winter is a rather still and unchanging season, a lull in the passage of time. this symbolizes mytho's passive nature at the start of the series, especially with his doleful pose here, as if almost in hibernation. to contrast, mytho is perched on the branches of a birch tree, which means new beginnings and renewal - as mytho is one of the characters that undergo the most change throughout the series (i'd argue the most?), regaining pieces of his heart. under mytho's frame is the snowdrop flower - and if you've read my witch hat atelier: seasons piece symbolisms, one of the snowdrop's meanings is rebirth, with connotations to the bible, bringing hope, when all had forsaken eve. the snowdrop is one of the first flowers to bloom even when the snow has not yet fully melted, further echoing mytho as an analogy for rebirth.

Dibs turn!!! Everyone's least favorite boy genius!!

No fancy spread and not as many drawings as gaz, because I was struggling with drawing him for some reason. I really wanted to make some more action poses for him, but something wasn't clicking. And coloring just the first one had me gassed out so I didn't feel like doing the rest :') But of course I didn't want to sit on these so HERE HE IS!!

CSS Rules

by Priscila Stibich / 11.12.22

Now that we know what CSS is, it is time to understand the usage of this programming language.

Firstly, we must understand the 3 main ingredients for our coding recipe to work. Those ingredients are Selectors, Properties, and Values.

The selector is the first one that needs to be declared, as it is what identifies which HTML element we are referring to. The next one is property. There we define what parameter of the selector will be changed, and each selector could contain several properties inside it. And the final piece of this equation is the value. Depending on the property used, it can be a number, a text, etc.

Example:

selector{

property 1: value;

property 2: value;

}

As you could notice above, it is mandatory to use curly brackets for the style to be applied to the selector.

This time you will be given an actual example. In this case, we will alter the background color of our website.

body {

  background-color: lightblue;

}

Selectors

Last get back to Selectors, it deserves a whole chapter for it. 

A selector can be the element itself, the class attribute to an element, an id attribute to an element, or its position in the document.

Just keep in mind that when a property is changed, such as paragraph (p), all text paragraphs will be modified.

Class

If we going to adjust a class selector, it will be written with “.” followed by the class name. Classes can be addressed to more than one element.

.author{

  font-weight: bold;

}

A Class in HTML file will be written as the following:

 <p> <span class="author">by Priscila Stibich</span></p>

Id

To modify an id selector, it has to be written with “#” followed by the id name. Different from Classes, Ids selectors are unique. For example, only one masthead exists in the document.

#masthead{

  background-color: #233D4D;

  color: #FFF;

  font-size: 1.2rem;

}

An id in an HTML file will be written as the following:

<header id="masthead">

Position

To style a specific part of the document, we use the position. It will only affect the children of that element.

For example: 

article h1{

  font-size: 2rem;

  margin: 0rem;

}

In this case, only the headings inside the article will be affected.

Overall, I hope this text helped to elucidate some basic CSS rules. Of course, it is not easy to start, but fortunately, more examples and tutorials regarding this topic are spread all over the internet. Consequently, you will understand it in no time.
