Hi! I just found your art and it’s so beautiful, I just have two questions- where do you find your pose references (do you take them yourself or look somewhere online)? And how do you paint lighting so well, especially on faces? Thank you and I hope you have a nice day ❤️
Hi there! I do both, I take pictures of stuff like my hands, poses, etc. and I also look online to find similar poses to get as many angles as I can.
For painting lighting, I look at photo references of lighting where it’s close to what I’m painting. Stuff like the turning shadow, rebound light, cast shadow; see if you can identify those in references or other objects. I’d also look at Bargue plates (ex down below), especially for faces. Lighting on faces is a bit more complex because there are so many planes at different angles, but hey, that’s what makes it interesting too. It definitely helps to look at facial structure drawings and sculptures. Knowing where the planes of the face are is important when you’re painting light on faces.
I love Bargue :)
Lately I’ve been deep reading Raven Cycle fanfics on Ao3, so as promised this a fic rec list. These are a few that I’ve read recently, and felt so intimately connected with to a level I can’t even begin to explain, and all of them have inspired my writing in one level or another. This is super talented people with beautiful minds. You should definitely give them a chance and keep the TRC fandom alive on ao3, pls.
This list took forever to put together, and it’s just a short selection. If you like this, I can for sure make another one!

This one is so unhinged and beautiful. It’s weird and wild and you get Pynch being little freaks, Florida, alligator tours and strange dreams.
come hold me 'neath the water's skin by cathedralight Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch | T | 14,6k |
So beautiful. So raw. So aesthetic. It really makes you want to get your head inside the water and become holy. It has religious imagery and references to Greek myths, so, what else do you need.
kissed your scalp and caressed your brain by earthquaker Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch | E | 3,2k |
Adam shaves Ronan head. The intimacy in this one almost made me cry.

Anything by this author, truly. They write as they know Adam and Ronan down to the bone. It gets lonely, and it gets beautiful, and a little feral.
No Oracle by nonbeenarys Richard Gansey III/Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish | E | 17k |
This one is a stunning exploration of the Rodansey dynamic. Adam wants a lot in this one, and it’s tender and complicated.
experiments in french kissing by sunflowersandscreams Richard Gansey III/Adam Parrish | T | 2,8k |
A dive in the Adansey dynamic. It’s intimate, physical, and emotionally loaded in a way that’ll make your brain tingle. I think the title is pretty self-explanatory.
I also have stuff on ao3, if you want to check that out ♡

And here's the whole series. I'm kinda proud of myself - when they all put together I can see the amount of work - and I love my characters a lot. :) Now, I wonder, which one is your favorite? My personal favorite is 2nd - I think I did Lyra justice with those wings. Since this is gonna be a long post anyway, I'm gonna add a few sketches for some of them below.
Last one was an alternative variant for the 10th piece but I imagined that people would misinterpret it BAD so I decided to draw another one. I still like this sketch, however, maybe I'll finish it with lineart or sth like that. And another sketch also had Devil in it but since this piece was more focused on emptiness, I just erased him. Well now you know he was there. And about the knife... now you know who did that, too. After holidays I want to update my lore post a bit so stay tuned for that :]
