Art Post: Astriferous, two ways

[minoanmiss]

I haven't been drawing much lately, between writing and the approach of Inktober, but/and here is a delightful vocabulary word and the two little drawings I made based on it.

Astriferous means "Bearing stars, carrying stars." So of course, being me, when I set out to illustrate this I drew a fairy:



(If she looks familiar it's because I incorporated her into the Queen Titania picture as well.)

And also a Minoan lady.



If there's one iconic image I can't ever draw enough of, it's a lady holding a star.

Gee, why am I not surprised that they have stars on their dresses as well as in their hands? And not to redo an old Comment (says I, redoing an old Comment) -
o/~ They have stars, stars, stars in their hands. ~\o

I would love it if you wrote the whole song. :)

The fairy is very cute, her top design is fun! But oh the Minoan lady, she is indeed stellar! And I see subtle highlighting, nice! (Hehe, her pose also makes the picture worksafe even with that outfit :'D )
I see nothing wrong in drawing the same thing over and over again or when not knowing what else to draw, because it's easy to see progress with a recurring motif.

*beams and beams* You are so generous and specific when you comment on my art. I always appreciate that.

I did indeed timidly add some highlighting. I have been thinking about trying to study up on shading, but Inktober doesn't seem the right time for it (I'd be doing the shading with colors in the computer).

I dunno, these days Inktober seems to be whatever people want to draw, digital or... analogue! So do what you want to do and follow your bliss and interests by all means :)
