I have no words to describe the feeling of being in this magical forest with these ancient, magnificent beauties

SpiderMan Noir Headcanons

S F W:

- he gets very flustered very easily, but he’s good at hiding it. for instance, of you say something to compliment him he’ll just blush up and cross his arms, quietly thanking you for the compliment and seeming like he doesn’t care much. but under that mask his face is bright red and his mind is racing

- since he has such bad eyesight (he’s near sighted) he can really barely see without his glasses, so he ends up getting very nervous when he can’t find them in the morning. like his eyesight is so bad that if he tries to look at something without the mask it’s just a blur of mixed colors and light and he can’t make out anything

- this causes him to actually have lenses specifically for his eye type in his mask, rather than having a pear of bulky glasses underneath. it’s more tactical that way (can’t punch nazis if you can’t see em)

- he doesn’t actually take a lot of time to do his hair in the morning, surprisingly. while his hair isn’t extremely neat and he takes pride in how cleanly cut it is, he ends up not having the time to actually do it. he’s either rushing out or the door to work or rushing to stop some crime that’s been happening that requires urgent assistance. this also means that he barely ever eats breakfast, and when he does he ends up just stuffing it in his face before running out of the door

- with an s/o I’d imagine he’d try to regulate this so he can eat breakfast with them in the morning, but that almost never happens and he ends up coming home nearly exhausted and ends up just eating dinner with them instead

- on the rare occasion he does get to spend some quality time with them though, he makes the most of it by giving them ALOT of affection. quite honestly he appreciates them, even though he thinks he doesn’t do a good job of showing it sometimes. he’s young but he’s always busy 

- normally peter’s a pretty clean guy, and so if he’s on a patrol he doesn’t exactly get hurt a lot, but he’s not invincible. most of the time he ends up coming home at 3:00 am with his side bleeding or some of his clothes ripped, resulting in you having to haul out of bed to stitch him up. honestly you should have a medical degree by now from how many times he’s come home needing stitches

- since his timeline takes place during WWII, it’s safe to assume that he’s nearly an expert on being conservative. no, I don’t mean conservative as in run-of-the-mill dude in the southern hills, I mean conservative as in repairing nearly everything. seriously, he doesn’t want to have to spend money on new clothes and so he just resorts to repairing everything

- this means that socks, shirts, even things that have just grown old with time are usually mended up and fixed in no time, earning him nearly expert stitching skills. he’s even sewed a few things! (even though he ended up forgetting about them entirely and denying he ever made them once you’d find them)

- idk where I found the pic, but I saw this art of noir smoking and I was like 👀 interesting do you mind if I take that concept dear sir/ma’am/unspecified-gender-person (actually wait i found it  https://mobile.twitter.com/kookirani/status/1082319828247994369)

-  yeah, he smokes, I know that’s craaaaazy

- it’s mostly a coping mechanism, in all honesty. on the contrary he wouldn’t know that its kinda dangerous though, since smoking was deemed as dangerous in the late 1950s and WWII took place during the late 1930s-1940s. so yeah, to him it’s totally normal (a lil bit of facts there for y'all)

- a lot of the time you’ll be able to find him standing on the balcony with a cigarette between his lips, his shirt off for the bandages and other things to get some air as he tries to ease into his own comfortability and think over what he could’ve done better over the past patrol. it’s almost like an assessment of sorts

- speaking of not having shirts on, he’s about 5″10 and has a sorta muscular build. obviously his shoulders a broad, and so he really look so like a grown ass man with his deep voice to accompany his aesthetic. he’s got a lot of scars as well from previous accidents, such as one on his lower torso from being stabbed while breaking up a street fight and one on his knee where he accidentally flew into a wall. but while he may seem rough and hardened on the exterior, he’s got a few weaknesses that prove that he’s really just a kid wearing a suit (he’s 19 btw)

- on an angst level, he’s too compassionate for his own good. for instance, he doesn’t kill, but finds it right in his mind to offer redemption to his opponents while still defending the weak and helpless, just as he once was. while he’s not a complete pushover obviously he does help people a lot out of the mask. people are struggling during these times, and the women and families that need his help are still out there and around him (it’s WWII, shits not great)

- this means that he frequently fixes things for neighbors when they can’t afford a repairman, comforts kids who lost their mothers in the crowded streets of Queens, defends minorities both with and without the mask, and so on and so forth. overall he’s just a nice guy with a strong sense of justice, and doesn’t mind to occasional scrape or so on his knees if it means protecting the people he cares about without even meeting

- peter ends up getting a little…reckless because of this though

- when that’s said, that’s means that he will literally jump in front of a bullet for anyone. even if it gets him hurt. he’s selfless, and a lot of the time he’s hurt because of it. but telling him that he can’t possibly save everyone is pointless

- “"So what? I should stop trying just because I can’t help everyone? That means helping no one gets the same results. I’m not gonna watch people drop like flies cause I can’t save the world.”

- yeah angsty as fuck, but he means it. his words come out harsh, but he tries to apologize for being so rough

- “"I’m sorry, I just…” He’d pause. “"I can’t watch it anymore. I’m not a bystander. I won’t be a bystander.”

- and with that he’ll pull you into a hug and just hold onto you tightly, almost as if you’ll fade away and leave him if he doesn’t

- you’re part of him, and you might be on earth of the only things keeping him safe. you’re the representation of the good he protects, and god help him I feel he ever fails at something to simple

- anyway that’s enough angst let’s talk about LIVING with him :3

- it’s the little moments that mean the most to him, in all honesty. he doesn’t even need you to be the domestic one really, since he views you both as a team rather than husband and housewife

- he usually does most of the cleaning and cooking though I’d imagine since Aunt May taught him to clean up after himself and respect his and everyone else’s space. you going out and getting groceries or just cleaning the clothes for him is enough, so if you’re one to typically work around the house more often and take the time to make sure everything’s is perfect, he’ll partially thank heaven they sent you to him and feel a lot like he’s slacking on his part

- he likes to pamper you, give you gifts. expect a bouquet of flowers almost every Friday when he comes home, his smile wide on his face as he professes his love to you through a bunch of cheesy one-liners

- but he also likes to be taken care of and pampered himself, although he never admits it. once again anything small makes him happy, so if you go all out he literally can’t stop thanking you. washing his hair, cooking for him, making him things, he loves everything, and appreciates the thought behind it

- to be honest I’m sure he’s not really attracted to a certain body type in particular, it’s your kindness that infatuated him. generally polite, kindof shy people just make him that much more enamoured, but he likes someone with a good head on their shoulders and a strong sense of justice and morality just as much (if not more)

- if you were a crime fighter, peter would be absolutely enamoured with you. he knows you can hold up your own better this way, and that you don’t really need that much protection. he prefers to work alone, but if he has to work as a partner with anyone it’d be you and ONLY you. no third wheels

- but this comes with a downside; peter gets extremely worried when you get injured. he knows better than anyone that it’s really just part of the job, but his heart can’t help but stammer a little when he sees a bloody lip and bruises all over. you bet your ass he’ll take care of whoever hurt you asap if you haven’t yourself

- you hurt his s/o your ass is grass m8

- he also doesn’t get really jealous, but if someone is hitting on you he feels not worthy enough or just angry in general

- he usually needs a lot of reassurance, maybe a hug or a kiss after he gets particularly emotionally exhausted. he likes to sit in silence a lot, either thinking or just watching you as you do chores around the house or watch tv. he loves you a lot, and he could watch you just absentmindedly talk about your day or your friends for hours

- really random btw, but this dude can sing. he doesn’t think it really necessary so he doesn’t outwardly flaunt it, but when he’s listening to a song he likes it’s easy to catch him humming along to the tune or singing the chorus. it’s deep, breathy, right on the verge of raspy almost, and his eyes seem calm when he does

- usually he really only listens to jazz and swing, so you can listen to him using his voice perfectly when the singer over the radio hits a particularly complicated note. if you catch him in the act though he’ll immediately blush up, his whole face turning red as he stutters out something to say

- you’d take his hand, grinning, asking him he’d want to dance with you as you smile up at him widely. he agrees, letting his body press to yours as you slow dance around the kitchen, living room, etc. his head will drop to your shoulder, inhaling your scent as he sings softly to you and sways gently from side to side, sharing a moment of wordless emotion that you both understand, share, and relish in. he’ll kiss you, letting his hands fall to your waist loosely to grip you as yours to his shoulders in a sort of grounding gesture. and so you dance, sharing a quiet waltz as lovers in the comfort of your modest home

- all in all, he loves you, too much to where you’d ever imagine. he’s not exactly the most sensual, yeah, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try. you mean the world to him, and he’ll go through hell and back just to keep that smile on your face and those eyes bright

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #300

where do u get the inspiration for the people in ur fab art? do u use references, if so where from? :)

Honestly from all over the place! Most commonly nowadays, I flip through a bunch of art/photos on twitter or instagram.  I especially take advantage of the “saved” feature on instagram, which lets me look at a bunch of really pretty pictures at once.  Here’s some examples of what that might look like, with the artist’s @ ’s added in. Warning, big photo dump incoming––and it’s only a fraction of the total number that I actually have, which is definitely around 2000 or so.

I’ll also save a lot of art (read: about 800 pics at this point) to a folder on my computer.  Recently, quite a few of these have been coming from twitter; here’s a few examples of artists that I’ve had a soft spot for (handles included):

I tend to go absolutely nuts with finding stuff that inspires me, but I wouldn’t necessarily spend excessive time on it––when I say go nuts, I mean that I have a sustained interest in seeking out inspiration.  The pics I have were collected over the course of five years or so, and the ones from near the beginning are somewhat different from recent ones. 

If you’re trying to build up a collection, you likely don’t need to spend hours a day searching for this stuff (even more than twenty or thirty minutes is probably too much, unless you’re explicitly doing concept work and you need tons of references). If, while browsing tumblr or instagram or twitter, you come across a picture that really strikes you as beautiful, just save it. Over months and years of selecting choice pictures, you’ll eventually cultivate a taste in art/photos/whatever that will definitely affect the development of your style as you keep making art. Sort of a side benefit of this whole ordeal.

Have another little drawing :)
