Hi! I'm Madeleine, an illustrator and concept artist making board games and whatever else fancies me. I love to paint anything fantasy and historical, with a touch of fan art once in a while. :) I often change interests however. When I'm not drawing, I'm writing, sewing, reading or doing other creative things. You can download my queer, romance, slice-of life book Far From Miklagardr here!

it didn't go as our storyteller had planned

im overwhelmed by all the positive tags on my art and will slowly save them in a document for future days when i feel like shit 😭 i was never a tumblr person but aah this makes my day

Hi!! Thank you so much!! Tbh I mostly go with the flow but I did keep some layers on my latest illustration so I'll try and explain it haha. (also please ignore my bad handwriting, maybe I should've used the text tool but uh too late) I try to think about the flow of the hair in my sketch, and then continue to keep it throughout the rendering process. After the color and first pass of shadows I merge the sketch down and I start to paint, while continuing to keep those shapes I had in the beginning. Sometimes I go too overboard and have to go back a little. And then at the end I add a few strands of hair going outside of the shapes for some last details.

Idk how much this helps since it can change from time to time, but I hope it explains it somewhat!

i love them
