Maybe I should actually put this here too, so everyone knows: you can get the high resolution of my art to print it yourself! here is the link to the google drive
it's completely free (aside from what you pay yourself for printing of course), but if you still want to support me you can find me on Ko-fi
reminder to everyone who is tagging my art with "i wanna print it out, roll around in it and eat it": you absolutely can! I updated the folders with more high resolution files <3 But as I mentioned before, these are not optimised for printing, so you might need to adjust the colors.
Fresh from the oven: two kcd hansry mini comics (ft. Zizka and Hynek), one (1) portrait of Samuel (need to draw him more) and a bunch of Kettle Hat Henry doodles again, except this time we got more variety (And yeah, I did draw these because of tunes. again. Everybody say 'thank you Tunes!' >:) she says she is warming up to them but it is still funny to torment her with my henry's fashion choices)
me and Tunes have been talking about the Katherine romance (and it's pitfalls) more and more the further she gets in the game, and in celebration of tunes hitting another point in the story that drives me insane (in a bad way) you all get to see this shit-post of the Katherine romance that only exists in our heads and hearts 💔 featuring bohemias most wretched polycule
I think we laughed at this for roughly. half an hour? Literally paused drawing hans and henry to create this. sorry
Target audience of two people: my dear friend tunes and me :) And I guess everyone else who goes mad when thinking of the father-husband shirt. But mainly Tunes and me
your kcd art is SO lovely but a special shoutout to henry & pious!!!!
Waaaa thank you so much! And hehe yeah shoutout to them fr.
Actually, shoutout to the whole monestary quest. I love you kcd needle in a haystack, you are so sexy for making the player commit to a monotonous schedule with only little free time for actual investigating and then adding some incredibly intriguing characters to it. Who have INSANE chemistry with henry!! what a game

Should all be added now, let me know if i missed any! :) and thank you tehee :] <3
Hello! I really love your art! I was wondering if you have any tips on how to capture the person the facial features of the person you are drawing so well?(!) Your Billy and Stu are is amazing! Although it is in your style (which I absolutely adore) you still keep their likeness/resemblance which is very hard for me to do when trying to draw them in my style! (Sorry if the wording is confusing, any tips?) Thanks!
Ah thank you so much and sorry for taking so long to reply, but I needed to figure out how to answer this.
I have put some general tips together, but I need to point out that none of these replace the time investment of learning art. It is merely a suggestion of direction for practice, and I don’t want anyone to feel discouraged if any of these tips don’t immediately make them into a master of arts. Art practice is not easy and it can be frustrating to not be up to your own standards yet, but you will get there! :) In the meantime: be kind to yourself!
That said, let’s get to the tips I can share:
1) Use references!
I usually create a reference sheet for any character I want to draw more often, with their face in lots of different angles. Being able to know how, for example, someone’s nose looks like from the side and from the front can be essential when it comes to recognition. You basically want to be able to create a 3 dimensional object with these references. I tend to need the references less the more I draw the character, after a while i just memorise their key aspects for drawing them from most angles :)
2) Figure out key-features of a person
Try to figure out how to simplify someone in a drawing. What are their most striking features that NEED to be included? Sometimes it helps when you try to think of what features a caricaturist would accentuate in a caricature of them. Here you have some features that I personally try to focus on when I draw billy:
As mentioned in the bottom right corner, the placement of these key-features is also important. Try to figure out where things are placed in relation to other facial features and mind their size as well. this becomes easier the more you do it!
If you struggle to find out what features are important you can also look up other fan-artists stylised work you like and try to see what they chose to highlight :)
3) Do studies!
4) focus on values and contrast before considering color
doing a study without a sketch by blocking in shapes can help you figure out the planes of a characters face
as you can see here, stu’s eyebrows kind of blend in with the shadows of his brow bone, which is why I usually draw his eyebrows pretty light/in a color that doesn’t have high contrast with the skin tone, it makes him instantly more recognisable in my opinion
5) Draw (a lot)
I have been drawing basically every day since I was a child, but my ability to actually draw someone recognisable has only developed in the recent years. And I don’t think I’m done with learning. In the undying words of Bob Ross: “Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do”.
I hope my tips can help a bit and and perhaps lend you some motivation for the never ending practice that every artist has to face :’) <3
i’m sure you’ve been asked this a billion times, but i’m new to your blog :3 what brushes do you use/recommend! or program you use cus i know some brushes are exclusive to that app. your lineart and painting is so yummy. it’s so square and smooth, and i never know where it ends or begins it’s so good….
thank you! :p
Ah first of all thank you so much! :D And no worries, I don't mind answering it again! I got a neat little masterpost with my brushes that you can find here
out of curiosity you’re not taking comms right now are you?
Not right now, no. I already got too much to do at the moment :(
But if you are still interested, you might want to check in with me after christmas (via dms would be best, I never really post about having my commissions open)
posting all of these on the same day as i'm posting them on insta. as an early christmas treat. just for you :) imagine a little bow on all of this stuilly art, okay?
