Description
"Only if you say please.""Could you scratch my arm, please."
----------
I wanted to draw something cute for Valentine's day and decided for this, inspired from a scene from my book.
Kayleen and Jane often tickle each other with straws of grass or scratches each others arms. Later Kayleen does it absentmindedly on herself with a straw when feeling homesick and Derek thinks she's crazy. Kayleen then shows him exactly what he's missing. His mind is blown and Kayleen has created a monster 8,D
So yeah, if you haven't had your arm/back scratched or face tickled, then you're missing out dude(tte)! xD

I really like how worked-over this piece is. All the different textures and light patterns and stuff that you clearly put so much work and patience into... good job! It creates a cool effect.

Thank you, I remember this was murderous to do lol. I'm glad it still holds up after 2 years. I should get back to more paintings like this. It really challenges your artistic eye :3
(And thank you for your comment-train! )

Hahah "murderous" is a good way of putting it. I understand. It's such a strong hate/love to work on a complex work, at least for me.
I'm glad you were able to grow with this piece though. And you're welcome!
Stay beautiful

Woooooooh I see this the first time O.O Why I didn't see this before????
It's super amazing. The shading, the lights. Looks like a scene from a movie.
The soft expressions, the dialog. Everything is sooooo valentine-ish cute.
The hands are very well, too. It's nice to see the differents between little girls hand and the strong man hand.
I love to see "hard-shell" guys mellow by some cute affection. Hihi.

If you have like me, a lot of pics in your inbox, then stuff gets buried xD Or it was just hidden behind my doodle dump
Thank you so much though! I really wanted to push myself and I had lots of fun with it ^^ I think little things like this, the simple dialogue and the touching someone in little ways, can be as sweet and romantic as all that hullabaloo with roses and all things typical romantic :3
Heheh, Derek has hands as shovels, made for dirty work xD Kayleen delicate, to handle fine stitching
Big scary men being big teddy bears, I love it too! I'll never grow tired of it! awawawaw!

Ah! I wanted to comment it before and then totally forget it.
It's so suuuuuper cute and beautiful drawn. You really become better and better, I love how you draw anatomy and you don't hesistate to draw people with older or ugly features. And Kayleen, her face looks perfect, so cute and adorable. Then the tender pose and the pretty shadings. I am not sure if Derek's head turned out a bit huge maybe, but still he looks so cool.
They are one of the most unusual OC couples I saw on DA and I like that

Hehehe, but now you're here!
Hihihi, thankies! I'm glad you think so, since I really pushed myself on this! For me it often feels like I take two steps forward and then one step backwards. This is the 2 steps forward haha! I envy everyone who can do beautiful paintings, so I threw flatcolors out the window and tried to do this as realistic as possible; focusing on the face/angles and folds ^^
And drawing people with "ugly" and different features is the best I think Kayleen and Derek are one the two sides of a spectrum, but with some features borrowing from the opposite side
I always get super-flattered when someone finds them unusual, especially here on dA where everything seems to have been done twice lol! Thankiiiies!
Damn, Derek's head, and I have already shrunken it once haha! xD Föööö! I will double check the next time haha! Good it's handsome face though, takes the edge off from the error (I say to myself haha) 8,D
(and on a random note, look out for art tomorrow hehehhe!)

Yes, I know that so well!!!! Sometimes you think you really improved and next time you just draw crappy shit that looks worse than before 2 years XD. But this picture with Kayleen and Derek ist very so beautiful. And flat colors are awesome when you know how to create atmosphere with it or when the lines are allready epic. And you do! And these two.....just cute!
Haha, I also have the problem that most time one head turns out bigger than the other. Damn! Mostly you notice it when it's too late.

I wonder how that is possible haha xD I think it shows art is just more than skill, it depends on something else as well. It's not like riding a bike. There's something more, something that can fuck shit up haha xD
I like to do linearts, then I'm having so much fun! I think it shows, then ^^ Shading and shadowplacement get all my hate! xD
But for valentine's day and my babies Derek and Kayleen, I can make an effort!
And if it isn't the head, it's something else xD I often see all my mistakes after uploading, because then I get nervous xD But often I don't have the motivation to fix them, if it isn't minor ahha XD

Thank yooou! My intent was to kick my artblock in the butt and finally learn how to use SAI ^^ I think I managed to do it!
The hair and skin was most fun to do and it's those parts I like the best ^^
