Love this art!! It fits her so well. Please, please do all the Raven Boys and the aunts and just everyone else even remotely important! 😍 I loooove watching the process and hearing you talk about the steps you took and references and everything. I don't usually ever draw or paint people, mostly because of hair and skin. I can't believe you love rendering skin so much, haha. Maybe I would feel different if it was digital art? But goodness, painting skin is a nightmare ☠ You did an amazing job on everything and I loved the changes you made to her face so much. It really made it look like *Blue* to me! P.S - in the first book it is mentioned by Ronan one time that Chainsaw is indeed a girl! Haha

@@RaesReads Thank you so much!!💛 I think I will try and complete the mini series with all the Raven Cycle characters hehe Digital art definitely feels very different when it comes to rendering/painting skin! I think the reason I love it so much is cause I have truly enjoyed the process of learning about it but I agree that it’s so much harder with traditional mediums like pencil drawing or paint 😅 now I feel like I need to try an acrylic painting of a person to see if I can still say I love rendering skin haha Would love to see your art one day!! 💛 I usually stick to people because I struggle with everything else haha Really glad that she gives off Blue vibes!! And thank you for confirming that Chainsaw is a girl haha my memory is not as faulty as I thought 😅

@@AnasBookery Yay! I am super pumped to see the rest of them. Skin with acrylic is deadly, haha. I am not the biggest fan of acrylic in general, as I feel like it is just so unforgiving and dries sooo quickly! To do skin with that medium? ☠ If I had to pick a medium for skin, I'm going with oil, but in general that's also too much work, haha . I just tend to stick with non-humans with watercolor and, recently, gouache! My husband also creates a lot of art with alcohol markers and those are *really* growing on me too! I think I will likely never share my art, though, as it is NOT great, hahaha. I paint for personal joy, not necessarily for beautiful works 🤪😂

@@RaesReads It might take me a while to finish them because the more I read the books the more I want to change their design 😅 but I agree that acrylic is definitely one of the least forgiving mediums haha I would love to get my hands on some oil paints or gouache! Ive never worked with them but they seem so much for flexible and forgiving haha I believe art should always be for personal joy! I hope you and your husband continue to enjoy it as a little side hobby 🥰

@ Haha, yeah, I think I would do the same. Constant tweaking and never finishing so long as I’m still reading the series 🫠 Can’t wait to see them at least when you’re done with the whole series, though! 😍 And oil is soooo nice to work with and so forgiving, yes! I haven’t used it in forever, as I think you really need a separate room and set up for it which I don’t have at the moment 🥲 It requires a lot of stuff and really smelly stuff, haha. Gouache is actually pretty difficult to work with, though... Maybe I was just so used to watercolor or oil I can’t get the hang of it? Haha. You have to get the ratio of water to paint juuuuuust right or it’s incredibly streaky and the color always dries different than it appears while mixed and painted on, so you have to really learn your colors and how they behave SO well 🙃 I’m still very much in the baby phase of learning how to use gouache. Really love it, but also kinda hate it in a way 😂

@ Thank you!! Oh gosh they both sound so fun and also like completely nightmares hahaha I love that love-hate relationship with art mediums 😅🫠 maybe I’ll give watercolor a go first before trying anything too crazy haha
