Description As promised. A scan of the final piece (though I think I enjoy the photo of the drawing more. Damn the internet and it’s 72 dpi!) Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Strathmore - 12"x18"

(Not that anyone is going to read this bit, but….)

I had a number of requests on Tumblr to draw this pair as a couple. After I completed and posted that first drawing a few weeks ago, I looked through all the remaining requests and scenarios for this pairing and decided to draw another one based on my own story line. So here we find the characters Blaine and Kurt, six months later, when they are comfortable with each other.

Soft and serene, subtle in the shadowing and highlighting as compared to my other “porn” drawings (my goodness, wouldn’t my art professors be so proud I ever had to type THAT line). I wanted to accurately capture the moment, but at the same time I also wanted the viewer to have a twinge of guilt at being caught sharing this moment—startling, disconcerting, blush a bit at invading or interrupting—realizing they are being a bit voyeuristic, which I tried to convey by having Blaine stare directly at the viewer. Pair this with my first “porn” drawing of this couple, and, well, you decide the story … I like the Disney-fied version.

Before someone points it out, I left Blaine chest-hair-less on purpose. Sort of adds to the innocence and I can always add it in later. To answer the anticipated questions: This particular piece took a couple weeks, though I’m not sure the exact amount of actual drawing time. This drawing is more in the vein of my time as a Jr. film key art illustrator—lots and lots of scribbles and blending. Yes, there is one more drawing of this pairing in the works. Should be complete by Valentine’s Day. That’s a hint.

I am now done with my dissertation. Enjoy.

I must admit I do feel particularly voyeuristic gazing at a piece like this, but I can't feel ashamed because the image is so beautiful and the moment is so precious. ...His gaze seems...daringly protective, if that makes sense. At any rate it's truly a gorgeous piece. How long would you say this took if you only counted the times you had the pencils in your hand? (you know, excluding breaks away from it and all that) Lastly, thank you for making this. At least if nothing becomes of the Klaine storyline on the show, I'll have this to admire.

I'm asked how long pieces take so often I REALLY should keep track. I work on these mostly during down times at work. This piece was started about, um, 3 (or so) weeks ago. Thinking about how much time I had and didn't have these past few weeks and knowing this was a larger piece, I'm going to guesstimate 8-12 hours - ?

Thanks for viewing the art, reading my explanation, and then sending me this feedback message. This piece has received its share of "hate mail" I think mostly due to lack of understanding what I was trying to get across. Either way, it was fun to figure out and produce.

8-12? Not bad.

My pleasure. I'm very sorry it has received hate mail, especially since it's so profound, but I'm glad it was fun.

Thank you. I really wish everyone had a 27" monitor - the art everyone posts on DeviantArt is amazing.

Haha sorry I get over-hyper about silly things. And Klaine is kinda my fangirl obsession extraordinaire right now. I just CANNOT get enough.

Then I assume you are panting over the EW magazine cover shoot - in case you didn't know, the "Klaine" issue goes on sale tomorrow.

OH MY GOD.

I AM STUNNED.

BREATHLESS.

I CANNOT...

WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER SHARING THIS ON THE KURT_BLAINE OR BLAINE_KURT COMMUNITY? *BOWS DOWN TO YOU*

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS FINAL V-DAY PIECE!

Is Klaine your OTP? I was just wondering...

Hi. Sure, share away - just please let me know where you post/share any of my pieces so I can make sure they aren't used in any demeaning manner. As a fan of the show and characters, I think I'd just be happy to see the characters happy. Thanks!

Saw. They didn't seem too thrilled, and some, outright accusatory without knowing the backstory. I'd link the image of the photo in progress, but.....

Is this stuff some of my finest work? Actually, no. But these are just doodles keeping me in practice and based on requested scenarios from nice people who make requests. I was a film key art illustrator for a half dozen years (think illustrated posters and lobby cards - like for Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean) - I know the discussion between realism in drawing vs. photo manipulation and I wish I had the energy to explain the reasoning of why, in certain circumstances, one is used over the other, and why people not in the know will dismiss the use or question the use of illustrations over photography, which is far too complicated to explain here.

The saying goes "anyone who has ever held a crayon is an art critique." I look at it as art is always open for discussion- as long as the viewer is aware of why the art was created.

Anyway - thanks for sharing! Keep making art! :

Whoa my god, this is amazing! very very jealous of your pencil skills. I've been having a go since seeing some of your other works, and you make it seem easy. (when it's really really not, haha!)

I love the composition/colour/mood EVERYTHING, but i have to agree with the comment against the 'porn' title! Normally i would never question anything about the titles of work, but i think if someone saw the title in a list for example - well, i personally would be less inclined to click it as i would be imagining some badly drawn anime-ish drawing; when really it is an incredible piece of work with a lot of thought and effort behind it.

Just my opinion, please feel free to ignore it, haha! You should be incredibly proud of this though, it really is one of the best pencil drawings i've ever come across.

You are an amazing artist, and I'm always looking forward to your updates since I'm blown away by everything. I just wish you would stop calling your drawings "'porn' drawings" since what you've been drawing isn't actually porn. The word "porn" has connotations that can change how your work is viewed, usually in a negative way. I think that your use of it (intentional or not) cheapens your work.
