How and when did yous get "trapped" in the Supernatural Fandom?

Ah, this is a bang-up question! In 2017.

Before that, I watched some episodes from season 01 and I constitute information technology ok, lots of references to "The Ten Files' (a show I loved and so much) and urban legends and myths (I also love mythology) and all. Only information technology did not take hold of me by that time, then I watched some episodes and stopped. Subsequently some time, a friend of mine told me to watch a petty more, because she thought it was the kind of evidence I would love. I watched the unabridged flavour 1 and part of season 2. I loved the stop of season 1, when nosotros first saw the reapers in the hospital, while Dean was in coma, but over again, it didn´t take hold of me. Practiced, but not my fave.

And so, in terminate of 2015, I was for the first time working on CCXP, our biggest comic con, here on Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Misha was i of the stars on the con. At that time, I (had) never heard nearly him, and I was curious about him, he was and then nice and beautiful with everyone. So, I asked my friend nearly him, because I never saw an episode with him on the evidence (the aforementioned friend I talked about earlier) and she told me to watch a little more than. Ok, so I was curious again and decided to watch more. Besides, in CCXP I received a job offer, and then 2016 was a busy year, I had to get back to Rio de Janeiro, where I was living and working, quit my job, terminate all the projects I was in that studio, move to Sao Paulo and start a new life and job. And and so the entire year went without me to become back to Supernatural.

Finally, in 2017, I decided to sentinel it again. I was working in a personal project at home, a comic book, and I first started watching again the episodes I´ve already watched, while I was painting the comic pages. I watched entire seasons 1 and 2 once again so I went through all the remaining seasons. I loved season 04 and all the angels lore. I watched all the seasons in virtually 2 months. And this time, I got trapped. Really trapped! :D

What does the Supernatural Fandom ways to you?

SPN Fandom ways a lot to me! Information technology´s a great, funny, sometimes cluttered, crazy, and e'er supportive large family unit. And also so creative!

Information technology came into my life in a adept moment, I was living in another State, in a new city, i of the biggest cities in the world, where I didn´t know anyone, feeling a bit alone, in a new task, in a new moment in my life, and having some hard moments and almost falling in depression crises. And I plant amazing people and friendship in the middle of the turmoil!

I just experience distressing this fandom have and then many factions, haters and intern fights, for meaningless reasons, when it was supposed to reunited people, to be a group of people put together by a common thing, a beloved for a tv show, an entertainment. But all families has his fights and crises! Aught is perfect!

I found some great friends here, people I now know for just one or two years, but nosotros expect like long term friends! I talked to this friends everyday, more than than I talk to some friends I know for decades! I just wish I could met them in person, once almost of them I can only met and talk online.

Also I found then many artists and creative people! And so, hither I have friendship, back up, love and fun among these people! It´s a great, funny and amazing family!

How and when did you started with drawing?

Well, I´ve been drawing all my life

I was a footling girl who used to accept the pencils and draw on everything, from my dolls (I actually used to adopt describe on their faces and clothes, instead of play with them, lol) to the firm´s furniture and walls… One twenty-four hour period, my mom hibernate the pencils, to stop me. And I took her lipsticks and painted the bath walls and door with them… ^_^() So my parents started to gave me a lot of paper to keep the house safe from me, lol!

So, drawing was, always, my biggest hobby. Most of the children love to draw and at early on ages everyone has like drawings. But almost of people end drawing in some point of the childhood. I never did it.

And I grew upward wanting to piece of work as an artist. Well, because family, I didnt written report Arts, but Psychology, and for a while I was part working equally a psychologist, and office working every bit a freelancer creative person. And always cartoon at home for fun! But shortly as I became contained, I came back to the University to written report Fine Arts, and leave behind the other profession. I worked with comics, animations and, for the last 4 years, I´ve worked creating illustrations for games.

Drawing fanarts was e'er a natural thing to me, as I´m a really nerd person! Presently every bit I beginning to beloved something - a book, a TV show, a comic volume - I kickoff to depict the characters. Same happened in Supernatural, I watched the unabridged evidence from seasons 01 to beginning of season 13 in the stop of 2017 and a little time after, I was working in some images for postcards and started to sketch the characters of the show on my sketchbook, using the same mode I was using for the cards, while relaxing. Sometime after that, I finally made a entire artwork, colored and finished. And sometime after that, I posted it online for the offset fourth dimension.

What pencils, papers, colors and/or brushes do you utilize?

Oh, I love art supplies, I take SOME favorites.

For drawings, I do adopt mechanical pencils, more often I use size 0.5 with 2B leds. Colored pencils I do prefer the Caran Dache watercolor pencils. I don´t have a favorite paper to describe with pencils and pens, ordinarily I have a normal 90g bristol paper, or polen newspaper sketchbooks!

Talking near pens, most of times I use brush pens, I accept some brush pens from japanese and chinese brands, similar Sakura Pigma, they are my favorite to depict!

Also I love chinese ink, to work with information technology in fountain pens or with fude brushes!

I also love markers, I have some STA watercolor markers, and Copic. For them I commonly prefer a paper around 200gs.

And I love watercolors, for this I use Archers paper, Satin or Fine grain, 300 gs. Schminckle is my favorite watercolor inks, but as well I use Winsor & Newton. Brushes, I accept a lot, and I´grand used to utilize pocket-size ones, even because I commonly paint in small-scale sizes. From 0 to 12, nigh of times I´g using 4 – 6 sizes, some with natural marta or squirrel fur and some sintetic fur.

I likewise love to draw with conté pencils, specially sanguina, and charcoal pencils, and recently I started to play with charcoal pulverisation. I also paint with gouach and acrylics, but there´s been a time since I used this last ones!

And besides I love to make experiments, like painting with coffe, tea… I have a portrait of Misha done with Black and Hibiscus tea.

Speaking about digital brushes, I usually like to try some downloaded brushes, but most of time I use the most commom brushes in Photoshop, just customized in the Castor Settings!

Which plan to you use for your digital drawings? Can you recommend a program/tablet?

For digital art, I utilize Paint Tool Sai, Corel Painter and Photoshop, more oft I employ Photoshop and all my digital SPN fanarts were made on it.

I tin recommend them all, considering they are really good programs. Photoshop is a huge tool, full of options and resources. But if you desire to save money and work in a not-so-fast computer, Paint Tool Sai is an astonishing tool and the digital watercolor tool is corking! Its an amazing software.

I use wacom tablets at work and at home, and I also highly recommend them. Some friends accept experienced Huion tablets, too, and they all have said is so good as wacom.

What was the first picture you draw and the first Supernatural related one? Would love to encounter your first ones from traditional and digital art.Funny, the get-go Supernatural art I made was a Misha, once I drew him on paper in my sketchbook and colored it on my computer. It was a chibi version of Castiel rescuing Dean from Hell.

My second one was totally digital, a portrait of Castiel with a unicorn´southward horn.

And my third ane was a traditional art, a watercolor painting of Castiel and Gabriel, fabricated as a gift for a friend.

After, I started to make more than and more than Supernatural art, and post them on Tumblr and Twitter. Most of my Supernatural fine art are digital arts, merely I have some chinese ink portraits and some watercolor paintings, too.

Seems like you have different drawings styles. Can you explain why and with what you started and what your favorite is?

Yes, I have. Because I similar unlike styles and besides, working as an illustrator, sometimes I need to switch styles, once sometimes I´m working in a child´southward volume, sometimes I´m working in a game for adults.

Likewise, as I worked as an animator and comic artist, I was learning and getting influence from different styles and artists.

And then, I can draw in a cute, fluff, chibi mode, or a cartoon style - like in an animation - or a comic way - a little in the middle between a cartoon and a realist style – or in a totally realistic way.

I honey chibis, peculiarly because it´s the faster, and so I can describe speedily if I´grand having just a few free fourth dimension. They also are cute and usually everyone loves them. Merely I also love the realistic, they took quite a fourth dimension do be done, only you can make so much more than strong images and limited much more in them!

Then, realistic are my faves, simply depends on my mood and too my time which style I choose. Or the message, some drawings works better in THIS or THAT style, and so I choose that, even if I cull more than realistic and this volition accept me a little more fourth dimension to consummate the image.

In my Supernatural fanarts, I started in chibi style, considering I was sketching things quickly in my sketchbook, drawing them without references. Presently later on, I made a realistic portrait of Castiel while watching an episode to have the right references. And until now I go along going like that, switching styles…

I always honey to encounter the progress people make with their fine art. Do you like to share a then & now picture with us?
It always motivates me and maybe other too.

Sure! I don´t have many old old pictures hither, but I found some interesting ones to brand comparisons with some more recent!

Hither I have a chibi picture of a anime character done exactly in 2009 (and funny think at that fourth dimension Supernatural was already been aired for 4 years) and even if you lot consider the fact information technology´due south a sketch, so information technology´s not finished, it´s quite diferent from the chibis of my first Supernatural art, they accept meliorate composition, pose, much more details and more of my mode, less than a generic chibi drawing.

As well, we can notice that the chibis of Castiel and Dean (film above ~he first i she draw~) have very shut faces, eyes and heads, just some details, like the pilus and wearing apparel, besides the color, to place the characters.

And also, two years late, in october, 2019, I fabricated this halloween chibis and they too shows more than changes, the 3 characters are a niggling more distinguished between them, in one case at present I tried to contain more of the histrion´due south characteristics, like optics shapes, a large forehead for Sam, etc.

And for traditional portraits, here I accept a watercolor portrait from 10 years ago, and a watercolor portrait of Dean, made concluding yr. Even existence a blackness and white portrait, it shows much more than details and meliorate rendering.

Can y'all explain how/why y'all cull the pics you draw. What inspires yous?

Ideas and inspirations can come up from a lot of fonts.

Some of my Supernatural artworks are commissioned works, so someone asked me for the fine art, with all the details. It´due south the case of the Comic Book Cover

or the portrait of Castiel as a Hussar Warrior.

Both of them requests by winner bidders of Fic Facers 2019 Auction. I also have many artworks created for Fic Facers, similar the dancing chibis from last year.

I accept some that were fabricated in Suptoberart, a Supernatural version of Inktober - a online claiming for artists, where you accept a list of words equally prompts for every day of October and must create a art and post information technology on social media. And so, nosotros have a single give-and-take and we have to create something based on it. I attempt to catch the first idea that came to my mind reading the word, many times is but a reference to a scene from the show, like "water", who reminded me the scene where Dean finds Castiel on Purgatory, flavour 08.

And sometimes I have totally empty-headed ideas, like "fire", that reminded me of the scene with the demon Crowley in the car in burn down in Good Omens, and I immediately had the thought of mix the "information technology´s fine" meme, the Good Omens reference and the Crowley from Supernatural.

"Kansas" reminded me of the vocal, Deport on my Wayward son, from Kansas, and I couldn´t help but think about Team Free Will in a karaoke night…

Sometimes my ideas are simple inspired by episodes, like portraits of 1 of the characters in a specific shot that caught my attention because of a cute calorie-free or composition, or whatever.

Or more parodies about scenes. Like my versions for the flavor 14 gag reel

or my picture almost the season 15 offset episode.

Or my arts for "Squirrelnatural", based on the small particular of Chuck telling that there´s a universe where everyone are squirrels… I tried to resist, merely later on days thinking well-nigh that I started to sketch squirrel versions of our characters on the middle of work and it took control over me! :D

Some ideas came while doing other things. My "burning art", for example, with Sam, Dean and Castiel similar sculptures of rock and lava, just came to me while I was seing some pictures of volcanos and lava while doing a research on Google Images.

So, ideas comes from all kind of sources...

How long does information technology take y'all to cease a portrait/drawing? Traditional and digital?

That's depend on technique and how much details I want on the picture.

It can took me about 2 to 8 hours to finish, little more than or less, according if information technology´s a uncomplicated blackness and white piece of work, or a colored one, if it has many more details, scenery, if I started it with everything already in mind or if I will experiment poses, details and create variations earlier choose the concluding pose, etc.

Every bit fanarts are something I do in my (few) gratuitous time, usually at dark later on arrived from the role and finish all the home tasks or freelance works, I commonly make my digital arts in more one day, kickoff day sketching ideas until find the exactly pose I desire. Side by side day I clean the lines (my sketches sometimes are a total mess and a dandy instance of the anarchy itself) and piece of work in the lineart. Usually this took me about one hour or 2, if there are lots of details (like a full detailed wing with all the feathers, spreaded – or 6 wings...) And side by side day or days, I work in the colors.

To watercolor paintings, I usually spent some hours collecting references, cartoon, preparing paper. And the painting took me virtually 2 – 4 hours.

Non sure if you can decide that, but what is your favorite film you depict, and of grade why? If you tin´t two or three favorites are also fine.

My favorite from my Supernatural arts is my Renascensse Castiel. This 1 was totally inspired by a tumblr postal service from Magnificent Winged Brute, comparison a pose of Misha in flavour thirteen, episode 09, and the cherubins in Rafael Sanzio´s painting, the Madona Sistina. I asked her permission to use her thought.

Too I like one of my recents, Final Ride, made for the final season premiere.

Took me some fourth dimension to notice the poses and all, just I enjoyed a lot the work on this one!

Did any of the stars saw your drawings? If yes, how was their reaction?

Yes, I made a video painting a portrait of Misha, and posted information technology and the painting on my Twitter. He saw and liked it!

As well Ruth Connell saw the one I made for Rowena Queen of Hell, subsequently episode 08 from season 15, and she liked it, too, and retweeted it! :)

Are you lot creating other Fine art too your drawings?

Yep, also Supernatural fanarts and my official chore, I also draw other kinds of stuff , for freelance works or personagel projects, like my comic books.

And I also love modelling in clay and forest carving, I´m planning to get back to this this year, at that place was a long time since I last used this techniques and last year, on GISH, I worked with them over again. And it was a pleasure!

Some Artists are open up for commissions, what about you?

Yeah, I am open to comissions, but non all fourth dimension. It´due south depends on how much freelance works I have in the moment (and how much free time I have). Usually people ask me about it and, if I´m likewise busy, I tell them that I´grand not taking new requests, but will exist in some days and ask them to write to me once again in that time!

What are your next projects?

Correct now, taking reward of a petty more than free fourth dimension as I gave myself two months without freelance works as a New year's day gift, I´m working in some fanarts for fanfics.

I took part in some big bangs, where yous are paired with an author and must create artwors to illustrate her/his fanfiction! I´k creating a iii page comic for one of them and some more drawings for other two bangs. They will being posted in about 1 or 2 monts!

And too, if I have ideas for fanarts, I endeavour to piece of work on them between projects, like in my dejeuner time at work or between my current arts for the fics.

Also, I´thou always wanting to create comic strips to Supernatural, just I need more free fourth dimension! :D

Is there anything else you similar to share with the fans? What more would you lot similar to tell us about your art or yourself?

I would like to transport my huge Thank you to all the people who came to my profiles and leave messages, for all the kindness and friendship I have find in this fandom! And besides my appreciation for this artistic fandom and all the great artists I establish here!

Now it's fourth dimension for the question I ask everyone. If you lot could modify just 1 thing in the earth right now, what would it be?

Difficult to choose… but I could choose a local one, modify our current president here on Brazil (Bolsonaro)!
