The aotw for this weekend is the lovely @illustoryart whose affirmation deck most of us have, and if you haven't seen their incredibly detailed art around on your dash, today you will <3 They agreed to answer a few questions for me-
Which do you use to draw (app/digital or traditional)?
I used to draw more traditional art, but most of my OFMD fanarts are made in Procreate.
Fave brushes/pencils/mediums?
I have fave watercolor pencils, Caran D'Ache Supracolor Soft ❤️
Your favourite piece you've drawn?
That's a tough question, because it's not a constant. But I'm really proud of my OFMD Affirmation Deck :з
Who's harder to draw: Ed or Stede?
For me it's Stede (too beautiful to be captured in drawing 😍)
One essential tip for beginner artists?
Draw every day and don't be ashamed to use references. It's okay to learn from photos and other artists' works. Just make sure your refs are not AI generated 😅
Why OFMD? 🥹
Because it's a perfect combination of queer pirates, historical inaccuracies, found family trope, comedy, romance and drama 💔
