Hi babiessss, I'm working on a new one!!! 

I actually kind of wrecked this already-- I tried to do some watercolor, and it was an actual disaster. 
Still gonna try to salvage it, tho!! I also wanna finish the inking, cos it's mostly still pencil rn.

You guys are always so nice!! Thanks so much for all the feedback.
I started another one because I'm absolutely in love with the original photo.

 
Long way to go, but I'm excited to finish it!!
 
In other news, the amazing, incredible annedauphine (sorry i don't know how to tag u) has agreed to bring the space drawing (the one in my avatar) with her to give to Lana when she meets her on Friday! I'm so beyond excited/nervous/terrified, and forever grateful that she'd be willing to do that for someone she hardly knows. I called the post office and asked if it would be possible to send something from the US to the UK by the 17th, and they were very willing to work with me on it, so hopefully it gets there in time for Friday. Shipping was mad expensive, but it's so worth it.
 
I do kinda wonder, though: Honestly, do you guys think Lana will be weirded out by that particular drawing?
 
I'm a little worried that she'll interpret the shattered chest in a negative way, but that isn't how it's intended at all. I'm the queen of overthinking everything, so my mind is all over the place. I never thought it would be a real, tangible possibility to be able to give her one of my drawings, so this is wild for me.

Finally finished.      This took such a long time. Most of my time was spent being terrified to start the background.
I'd love to be able to give this to Lana. Even if it's weird as fuck to give someone a naked-in-space drawing of themselves. 

(pls don't yell @ me for double-posting-- just thought I'd drop this here.)
 
I posted another version of this in a status a few days ago, but this is a slightly clearer image. 

 
I'm still too scared to start on the background, but I'm working myself up to it. I'm gonna try to color the whole circle like space. 
Looking back on it, I sort of wish I hadn't done the Froot-inspired thing with her hair, since I don't think I'll be able to tie it into the background in a way that won't look gross. Oh well. Still have to reposition her ear and color it as well. 
 
But srsly, thank you all for being so rad and supportive.

Thanks again for being so nice, everyone!! I'm planning on doing some watercolor Lana stuff soon, which should be interesting if nothing else.
 
I found an older drawing to throw in here while I work on new stuff!! There are things about it that I'm not super happy with, but it was super fun to make. Colored pencils are the best.
 
 
 
The eyes turned out a lil wild looking, oooops. Haha. 
Also here's a lil ballpoint pen doodle from a few months ago:

!!! Aaaaaaa thank you so much! You are soooo kind and wonderful!!   (Plus if I'm not mistaken I've reblogged a couple of cocorosie things from you before-- You're extra rad for liking cocorosie!!!)
It's all Prismacolor colored pencil except for the stars, which I dotted on with a white paint pen and a toothpick!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it takes up most of a 9 x 12 inch sketchbook page!

Bludgeon my actual life, your talent is surreal. I have absolutely sub-zero talent in this kind of style, you're insane, I'm snatched. Lana loves beauty she will definitely dig this! Out of curiosity (as I'm an art student myself), may I ask what medium you use and how big it is?

THIS IS ICONIC

You guys are sweet af.
I did the watercolor thing! I completely fucked up the original drawing. Not sure what I did, but it wasn't anything good, so I recreated the base drawing with a lightbox and started over.



Thinking about trying to add some kind of background, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea. it just feels a little unfinished.
 
EDIT: I tried to post this in a comment on a status, but it fucked up the whole status thing. I'm gonna post it here instead, I guess. I made a tiny 30 second HBTB music box cover.

That's so sweet, thank you for the kind words!! xx 
I actually was super worried about the hair seeming too cartoony, but it's nice to know that people don't really get that vibe.
