A little about the art
A couple years ago I read the Folk of the Air series by Holly Black and LOVED it. You all know I am a big fan of those dark fairytale moods and aesthetics, and I adore an enemies to lovers trope. It's my guilty pleasure.
Back when I first read the books, I did some fanart of Jude and then last year I drew Cardan, but I had never drawn them together. Since I first read the books, it seems like they have only grown more and more popular and I've been seeing more and more fabulous art from the series. Maybe I was feeling a little FOMO. Haha!
So I decided to squeeze in drawing the two of them together. You'll see in the timelapse that I start with a little bit of color but then decide to switch to black and white. Because my time was so limited, I knew I wanted to go with a style that wouldn't require much rendering so I started with a kind of weird color pallet, but then wasn't liking it. That's when I remembered that I had been wanting to do more works in this sort of inky black and white style anyway, so why not take this piece in that direction?
This style is super fun and relaxing to work in. Don't get me wrong, I love color BUT it certainly adds a lot of complexity to the process, and when I'm looking to do a quick comfort drawing in the midst of all the other work that is sucking my brain power, working in grayscale is a welcome reprieve.
Anyhoo! I hope you enjoy! Happy watching!
