This was quite the challenge, and I apologize for the delay of this piece!
If you know me, I constantly urge people to use photographic references when drawing. References honestly help make art better, and using photographs are much better than cartoons as (1) you really shouldn’t be referencing other art without the artist’s permission and (2) an artist’s style may not resemble perfect anatomy. Take my own style, for example: I make heads larger, and the features of the head (eyes and ears, mostly) are vastly exaggerated to help convey expressions.
This was different. I have never done a scene redraw before, and when I saw Razmerry’s request I realized this was the perfect opportunity to do so! Unfortunately this meant that I would have to reference James Barry’s art, and while I adore his style (much of my current style is derived from his) I did not trust his anatomy enough to be a perfect reference, haha! I did end up discarding Ravenpaw’s original pose in this scene and including Jumper.
Ravenpaw’s comic arc is one of my favorite manga arcs, mostly because I love Ravenpaw! I wish we had seen more of him in the books. This scene was incredibly powerful, as Barley had always been laid-back and not one to start confrontation. AND THEN HE SMACKED HIS BROTHER IN THE FACE!! We’re so quick to forget that Barley once survived in BloodClan territory!
Thank you to Razmerry for the request! This was such a fun challenge, and I hope to practice more scene redraws in the future!
PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS. My speedpaint requests are temporarily CLOSED but will open again soon! The announcement will be made via the community tab, so (to sound as cliche as possible) don’t forget to subscribe for notifications!
