Do You Think Carla And Marzel (Carzel) Is A Good Ship?

I worked all morning on this.

The Elena of Avalor quarantine alignment chart!

Alignment chart template from: @burnonyou 

Hi! You’re the artist who drew that fun short of Victor and Ixlan called “Night on the Town”, correct? I know it was a while back, but I remember reading that you wrote a fanfic based on it? If so, could you give me a link or tell me where I can find it? I’d love to read it if you wrote it!

Hi Anon, yes you're correct, and it was really fun to make! I still definitely think that Victor & Ixlan became friends after the events of “The Lightning Warrior”. 

I think what you might be remembering is how I mentioned in that post that I had “sketches & a drawing, and a tiny fanfiction.” By “tiny fanfiction” I was referring to the four paragraphs I wrote after the sketches that describe the context of what's happening in them. I mean technically I guess it's too short to be called a “fanfiction” now that I'm thinking about it, maybe they would be considered headcanons? 

But if you want me to write a longer version of it, I might just be able to do that. When I was making the drawings I had plenty of ideas for possible stuff that could be in it if it was a longer story, I just didn't get around to writing it.

Remember that time in “To Queen Or Not To Queen” when Elena fell asleep in a graveyard?

[Comic script: Panel 1: Elena: Buenos Dias, Victor! Victor: Hola Elena! You're up early, so you can't wait for your coronation today?

Panel 2: Elena: Yes, plus I accidentally fell asleep in the graveyard so I had to walk all the way back here. Victor: …

Panel 3: Elena: Ack! Victor, what are you doing?! Victor: BEGONE GHOSTS!!!!]

The text says: Just a friendly reminder that these two disaster old men, are the same age as these two disaster old men. End ID]

What do you headcanon for Carla's full name? I headcanon that her full name is Carla Elizabeth Rahela Delgado, (I headcanon that Victor's mother's ancestry was from a Romanian speaking kingdom, & the name Rahela is originally Romanian). What di you think?

That's a nice headcannon. I always think it's cool when people have two middle names instead of just one. What inspired you to choose the name Elizabeth though? It's a really nice name, I only wonder why you chose it specifically?

I just think they would get along very well.

Since your still taking requests can you draw Rebecca? If you can you draw her celebrating Passover (no pressure)

Of course, here you go!

Do you take requests?

Yes, I do take art and writing requests, but when I get them, I am not obligated to complete them. I may choose not to do a request for whatever reason, with no explanation given. And if I choose to do them, it normally takes me a week to a few months to complete them.

Also, I just decided in order to prevent any spam or requests that wouldn't be appreciated when completed, all anonymous requests must now start their request with a reason why you like my art/writing and/or why you think I could do a good job at your specific request and/or an emotional reason why you want what you’re asking for.

The request must also but for a fandom I have posted about here on Tumblr. Otherwise, the request will be disregarded.

(You don't necessarily have to do this if you ask non-anonymously, but I would still appreciate it.) Also, asking politely with a “please” or “thank you” makes me much more motivated to complete requests.

A certain person asked me how I paint with watercolors so I guess I'm going to tell you all! Now I'm not professionally trained, I just learned what I know from experimenting, asking questions, and looking up tutorials. So this may not be what the experts do, but it's what works for me.

How I paint:

Materials: I have a watercolor palette, a little jar full of water, my paint brushes, some paper that is thick enough for watercolors, pencil, and some paper towel to help mop up excess water. I always put down some kind of rag cloth or newspapers down on the table first so I don't get any paint on the table. Watercolors don't stain as much as other kinds of paint but it's best to you be careful.

I always use a watercolor palette to make my paintings. This is a very different system from oil paint or acrylic paints or even liquid watercolors or watercolor pencils, so you need to keep that in mind with the rest of the things I tell you

Step 1 (Start): I decide what I'm going to paint and make a little pencil sketch of it on the paper, It doesn't need to be detailed it just needs to give me a rough idea on how big it will be and where various shapes will go. (I sketch it very light so that you don't see the pencil lines on the finished painting but you can make it dark if you still want to see the lines).

Step 2 (Layers 🧅): I decide which colours would be best to be put on the bottom layer and which colours should be put on the top layer and then begin painting accordingly. For example I painted Mirabel's skin before I painted her hair, so I could have bits of her hair going down on top of her skin. I mix the colours together on a scrap piece of paper first just to test how they look.

Step 3 (How to apply paint): I dip my paint brush in water and then swirl it around in the needed colour until I have my desired amount, then I begin to paint in the shape that I want. Whenever my brush needs more colour I put a very small amount of water on it and then rub it gently against the paint palette then brush it again on the paper. For dark colours I swirl it around longer in the paint to get more paint on it and then lay it on thick. For lighter colours I put more water on the brush and less paint on it and then use the water to spread the paint even further across the paper. Important tip: Never press your brush too hard against the paint palette or the paper when you're painting, otherwise the bristles could be bent out of shape or fall out. Use the same amount of pressure you'd use if you were petting a kitten with the paintbrush. (You shouldn't actually do that, it's just a metaphor.)

Important tip: If you ever have too much water on your paintbrush, use a paper towel to mop some of it up. You can also use a paper towel to help get unwanted paint off your brushes.

Step 4 (Waiting): After filling in one shape with a specific colour, I move on to the next colour. If I don't want the colours to mix together I wait a minute or two for the first part to dry before I continue on to the next part. But if I do want a gradient then I start adding the new colour and brush them together a bit with water.

Step 5 (Small details): Watercolours mix together really well but that means to get good looking light colours you have to apply them directly to the paper, where there isn't any paint, otherwise if they are mixed with a dark-colour they could become muddy looking. For things like Mirabelle's glasses I painted the skin around them first, leaving a white blank space and then once the paint had dried I very carefully added the light green, making sure not to get the brown paint wet again. (I also use this process for the butterfly on the accordion and the earring.)

Step 6 (Optional Final touches): Sometimes I used paint for the pupils of eyes but they never seem as detailed as I want. So instead what I do is I leave the eyes as blank white circles, and then once I'm finished painting everything else, and everything is completely dry, I use a small pen or marker to draw the black outline around the eyes as well as pupils and pencil crayons to colour the iris. I also use pencil crayons for the eyebrows, lips and dress butterflies.

Repeating these steps for a very long time eventually leads to a finished painting. If you have any questions let me know.
