CHAPPELL ROAN - Casual (2023) dir. Hadley Hillel with MIKA LESHA as THE SIREN

idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com

How long does it take you to make a drawing?

Thanks so much for your question! It kind of depends which drawing you're talking about. Sometimes drawings just happen and they're how I want them to be in one go. If that happens the drawing might only take 10 minutes. But other drawings especially if they have any shading, or a really clean precise line they will take much longer. I'm honestly not entirely sure, because I don't always measure the time, but I would say more complicated drawings can be anywhere from 4 hours - 2 days (or longer) because I will keep reworking things. To give you some examples; These drawings probably took 5-10 minutes each. Somehow my pencil was made out of gold that day lol.

But there are other examples when I question everything and nothing is coming together. A big part of my process is also writing/storytelling, so a lot of energy goes into making sure that the idea communicates well. Sometimes I will do a really broad exploration of all the things that might be possible and then I will narrow it down by asking

• What shots do I need to tell the story • Is it better to leave out something rather then showing it all These were some explorations I did for the story-line where Claires' hair goes white

When I've done a bunch of this kind of exploration I will try to do a more concrete line up of shots I think would work best together to tell the story These were from when Jim still had part of the Beast inside him

Then I will go to do a cleaner pass. Sometimes I go straight to clean, depending how ruff the thumbnail is, or I might do another ruff pass in between. I will usually also try out a bunch of different acting choices too, to figure out what works best for the idea I have. I don't have a great example for that on my computer at the moment, but I tried a few different things for this shot of Krel and Douxie

All of these steps contribute to the drawing taking a long time. Hope this explanation can be helpful (˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>♡
