Coffee date in ink (plus bonus doodles)

One day I shall remember I have other fandoms and stop drawing Glee things (or at the very least remember the Glee cast includes more people than just Kurt, Blaine and Rachel) BUT TODAY IS VERY PLAINLY NOT THAT DAY.

I love drawing hair. Clearly I should rethink my choice of career and go into hairstyling XD

I tend to be wary of going far too realistic when doing fanart, even though I actually love doing realistic portraits. Partly because if you can only work with a photo reference it kind of limits your options, but mostly because it's a little too easy to fall into the trap of doing a techically good portrait of the actor, but not capturing the character. It's even more obvious when you are using a picture of the actor out of character that is inmediately recognisable. Usually it's one or two distinctive features that make people go "OH, it's ---!!" it's just a matter of finding them, which is really really tricky, but fun to try!

Thank you very much for the comment!

That said, I still think this Blaine is a bit clumsy as an attempt. Kurt might have been more successful - it's obviously stylised, just a handful of lines, but it's more easily recognisable as Kurt, I think?

EEEEEEEEEE! Coffee Date!

*squeals*

Ahem.

I mean, your work is lovely, and I really like your style and the way you capture their characters.

These are very good. They look older ... like it's 10-15 years from now.

[mon_st]

LOL That much older? Oh dear, and here I was trying to get them to look their age. Must be my inner guilt at perving on them when Kurt still looks like a twelve year-old milkmaid...

These are very nice! Though i must admit I'm very distracted by Blaine's little "Superman curl". haha.

[mon_st]

LOL Now that you mention it...

These are all adorable. I love Kurt's necklace.

I drew it from memory, but I think he wore it sometime around early S2?
