Boys!

Used my new watercolor palette for this one, and I'm more or less pleased with the colors, though after this I'm exchanging my burnt sienna for permanent brown, which is redder and richer and more similar to the burnt sienna of my liquid watercolor set. An indispensable color for me! Anyway, glad to finally be sharing this; I started the first sketch in December.

I think Enjolras and Courfeyrac owe Combeferre an apology, and possibly a new apartment, after all of this!

Ahhh, it's too lovely!!! The colors are so beautiful, and I love the way you draw faces, and all the little details in the background-- are those the caterpillars of a silkworm moth in the background, by any chance? :D

Thank you! <3 I'm learning to enjoy the little details -- and I'm glad you like the colors, since this is a new palette. And those caterpillars are not silkworm moth ones, but they are escapees, taking their first opportunity to make a mad dash to freedom!

Oh NO BOYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

I hope they make it up to him!!!! And also make it up to him ;)


anyway LOVE this, lovw the waistcoats and the wallpaper and the little Combeferre-y details, d'aww

Courfeyrac will make it up to him by replacing anything broken (with stuff that is even better quality), catching the escaped caterpillars, and maybe even restoring the stray organs to their proper place (maybe)

Enjolras will make it up to him... by making him forget it ever happened for a little while ;)

I'm glad you like this! I'm learning to enjoy putting in all kinds of little details, and I'm trying to up my 19th century clothing game. I do need to make proper floor plans and decorating schemes for all the Amis' lodgings, though sources for that sort of thing are quite hard to find!
