cherri 2,184 Posted September 29, 2020 It took me so long to figure out how to upload photos onto here... embarrassing Anyways... I've been drawing Lana a lot more frequently ( album hype) these days -- So I decided that fellow ldr fans might enjoy my stuff! But as a fine artist once said: "I love when my picture turns out like how I pictured" xx (this one is a work in progress I'm not sure that'll ever finish lol} 36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first one is a favorite, for sure, but the second one is really pretty and you should totally finish the third, for what I'm seeing, it's going great already 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IanadeIrey 62,021 Posted September 30, 2020 These are absolutely amazing! You have such a raw talent, it’s unreal! I could totally see these hanging in someone’s house as portraits ornate in frames or in a gallery walk at the art museum! The one of Lana on set of the COTCC video with the wine-red background I think would be perfect for a wine cellar or a kitchen - but also literally anywhere! <3 Amazing work, so beautiful, I cannot even begin to think how someone could evaluate art like that please keep it up and know that you have a gift! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your eye for design is pure insanity <3333 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherri 2,184 Posted October 7, 2020 Back again with something Lana related! Messed around with a different style than what I normally paint but I did have fun x (Ngl this was a lazy piece on my end but let’s pretend that’s a stylistic choice too ). I always really loved the ghost Lana shots from Shades Of Cool... so I painted it. (Also found a Lana portrait I drew back in 2014 when Shades Of Cool first dropped! I was like 13 then and just starting out digital art so it’s fun to see my progress as an artist —- even tho it’s kinda embarrassing x ) Spoiler 18 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gives me peace of mind to know that my inner sloth doesn't manifest itself terribly outwards LOL ♥ Debussy! I'm so flattered! I really did try to invoke a more dreamy/ethereal feel to this piece , color wise included! As much as I love the original color palette from the MV, I paint too many things with a similar dark tone. Thus, decided to switch it up and very thankful to know it's liked!

I definitely plan to do so! And to post progress pictures all together when I'm done w pieces.

cherri 2,184 Posted October 11, 2020 I want —- no —— need Lana to bring back the racing jackets. Truly so iconic + she rocked them like no other (man I even bought myself one a few years back for when it gets colder around where I live ) Just feeling nostalgic about the BTD era and ended up drawing this last night after a tall glass of iced green tea. Also included progress shots (which I’ll spoiler) if anyone was ever curious about the process or something I use Medibang Paint on my laptop to draw. It’s free on the App Store/Play Store as well. Really simple and easy to use for anyone who wants to pick up art as a hobby (^_−)−☆ Spoiler 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
