There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Because books.

Misha likes to PLAY. Whole other thing. Thank god for Twitter, man. My life without him on it would be a bleaker place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is ridiculous. I can't even imagine. That's a pretty well-deserved 4471 favourites. And it's only been up four days!

TWO HOURS EACH. I can't even imagine. I can't imagine how she erased at that scale.

Of course:

2H, H and B 0.5mm mechanical pencils

I always preferred the Bs and the HB pencil myself. (I could never, ever, do that. . . )

I love how she lists in her materials "a lot of dizziness". That's incredible.

YOU COULD PUT ONE IN A LOCKET.

You know, if you were like *that*.

Which I'm not.

No, really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I usually work with .3mm mechanical pencils (2H to start, sometimes 2B to finish), and I can't even imagine.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Done with pencil on paper, instead of effects over photo, real--or regular--sized, those would be very good. Miniature? Really amazing.

I don't draw. I have sketched, and erased about 3/4 to leave 1/4 of the effort, exactly two things I could claim to be satisfied with. But my hand won't do what my eyes see, so I understand when an artist does each feature correctly, but then the put-together just looks nothing like the subject.

I don't know what the difference is between drawing a portrait "correctly" and missing both likeness and spirit, and somehow getting the essence of a person or a character, whether the technique is "correct" or not. But I figure the difference is what defines an artist.

All by way of saying, those miniatures are truly amazing.
