Mikau and the Master - Thiebaud Three Jelly Apples 1964

So, I haven’t been posting my art journey much over the past month, but I have been painting and drawing from time to time. I don’t have a lot of energy in the winter because Seasonal Affective Disorder saps all of it, but I feel like I have made some progress.

I know a lot of artists copy old masters to study their technique and get better, so I decided to do a copy of a Wayne Thiebaud drawing that I really like.

Here’s my attempt at Thiebaud’s 1964 drawing, Three Jelly Apples.

And here’s the reference photo. You can also find it online here.

I like Thiebaud’s artwork because a lot of it is so accessible. He does a lot of paintings and drawings of desserts and other foods and everyday items, like this drawing of three caramel apples.

I’m pretty satisfied with my efforts. I wasn’t able to create an exact copy, but I came pretty close. I don’t know how he got his so dark, though. I was using a 6B, and that’s the best I could do. XD Maybe the picture I took turned out darker than it is in real life? The picture online looks darker than the picture in my book.

Anyway. This was a fun project. Maybe I’ll do more studies in the future.

Adrienette Accidental Baby Acquisition: Chapter Thirteen

Summary:

“Who is he?” Adrien inquired, stepping closer to Marinette to peer curiously at the cute bundle in her arms.
Alix tactfully dropped the first bombshell: “His name is Louis. He’s Future Chat Noir’s son.”
Adrien nearly fell over in shock as his legs threatened to give out on him.
“If he’s Chat Noir’s son,” Marinette reasoned crankily, bitter about having her moment interrupted yet again. “why don’t you bring him to this timeline’s Chat Noir for him to take care of?”
With a sadistic smirk, Alix dropped bombshell number two: “Because you’re Louis’s mother.”
Marinette made a strangled noise as she looked frantically between the baby in her arms and the superhero seemingly wrecking Marinette’s five-year plan.

Marinette’s love confession is interrupted when Alix brings Marinette and Chat Noir’s son from the future for Adrien and Marinette to babysit for a week.
