Thank you for illustrating a Renarin that looks thoughtful without looking too derpy. Some illustrations take out the genetic good looks that run in his family and just focus on the studious nature. This really captures both! 

Tracing something can help your hand remember how to draw a complicated pose or posture - I trace things on occasion, or use a reference for figure drawing to mark proportions. It’s allowed :]

I don't know why this brings me such joy, but it really does.

I believe the official terminology is "stampy thing." At least, that's what I call it, and as the arbiter of all knowledge, I should know.

So gorgeous!!

@Silva I absolutely gave him cufflinks - I figured that if anyone would be wearing them, it would be Mac.

Where's his bowler hat though...

A good question. I wanted to show off his hair, and also, I'm rather awful at drawing hats.  

This is so beautiful Itiah! I love the way you've rendered the Everstorm, so much intensity. So much... dare I say... passion. 

@MacThorstenson have you been peeking at my sketchbook...?

Taking after her father, she looks tired  

It's exhausting being so cool  

So glad you like it!

I really enjoy the motion in this, you can feel the wind. 

This is amazing and just so spot on. Coolest thing I've seen today, bravo. Please do more of these, you are so skilled!

This is beautiful!

I went to upvote this and realized I had already upvoted it!

Wait.

Did someone claim the Wheel of Fortune? 'Cause that's the goofiest card and I would very much like to know.

I do have a plan for the Wheel of Fortune card!

Ah yes, what a perfect description of Lita

Lol fair enough. I'll admit, this description fit her better at the beginning of Era 3. The part that always resonated with me was "being inexperienced, not knowing what to expect, having beginner's luck, improvisation" more than anything else. Someone beginning a new chapter - not necessarily a nice chapter. But... a chapter.

I'm most interested in faces. 

The key to expression is the eyebrows imo! And the way that the brows affect eye shape.

This is a lovely drawing, also. :]

I feel like jerk asking but whatever happened to those sketches of the Scadrial people?

Also: YAYYYYYYYY WEBCOMICS!!!!!!!!!

Hehhhhhhhhh yeah I will do those next. It's been hard to draw anything lately, but I think I'm out of the weeds now :]

Lita's super expressive eyebrows strike again. 

And then there are the TUBAists who are remaining mostly oblivious to it all... 

Tried something new this time and copied over the base layer like 5 times, and just changed the expressions. Way more efficient! Drawing Lita's eyebrows is half the fun of drawing her in anything

Sorry zinc, but I can’t stop seeing Elsa and Anna.

@ZincAboutIt

Can I use part of this too?

Yeah, actually you can use the better version here (post-digital tablet acquisition):

Hey, Zinc...would you mind if I made a meme with your amazing drawing of Voidus?

I would not mind at all! Sorry, for some reason the Shard hides comments on my art from me. Probably user error, I iz dumb

Meme away!

Oh gods I need to edit this.

Just now, Silva said:

Yeah. Oops. 

I was a little worried I'd mislabeled them!

Every time I scroll past this, the top part of the picture is cut off and the blood spots on Voidus' cheeks just look like undefined eyes watching Lita. 

Though the way they're actually pointedly not looking at one another is great.

Lol now I can't unsee it! I'm guessing you mean Laurelai, though, not Lita?
