did this awhile back and finally getting around to posting it.\u00a0 this is the first step i do, which is just pencils.\u00a0 the next couple steps, inking, scanning, coloring, touch-ups, and maybe lettering are all challenging in their own ways, but as an artist, this is still my favorite step!<\/p>\n

as i was drawing this, i knew i wanted to draw real-life finn sitting in the center, flanked by elle and ivy.\u00a0 i always have a hard time creating backdrops, so i just stole this one from where i was sitting, at a starbucks coffee shop.\u00a0 the lighting apparatus was a google image find and the ottoman was actually from my house.\u00a0 (love ottomans!)\u00a0 now, the painting in the background was something spontaneous.\u00a0 i knew the backdrop needed something, but obviously not to dramatic as to overwhelm the foreground.\u00a0 so, to drive home the point of elle, finn, and ivy, i just drew their comic strip version.\u00a0 i loved the way it turned out, and hope you do too!<\/p>\n
