[ART] for Tell Me Something I Don't Know

Chapter 3: Behind-the-Scenes and Colouring Pages

Chapter Text

I always love it when artists show some of their behind-the-scenes stuff for Big Bangs, so I thought I'd do that here. :D

When I offered off-hand to OnTheDirewolves that I would be happy to do some pinch hit art, I was super confident right up until a few minutes after I said yes. Whereupon I panicked, because it's been two years since I last really picked up a pencil lmao. So I ran screaming to my box of art supplies and didn't calm down until I'd done a sketch of Penny to make sure I remembered how this art thing worked. :D

 Pencil and ink sketch on brown-toned paper of Penny's smiling face; coloured with cool grey alcohol markers and uni stabilo white pen.

And then it turned out that Penny was the easiest for me to draw probably lmao, so he was the wrong character to pick for that particular test. :D I will never, ever tire of looking at Arjun Gupta's face. Anyway, here's the pencil sketch of what became the title art. (To get to the final piece, I lightly painted it with watercolour pencils, then edited it in GIMP.)

 Pencil sketch of Penny, Julia, and Kady's faces.

 

Colouring pages:

And here's the two main pieces before they were coloured (in a mix of prismacolour and crayola colour pencils), so you can print them off and colour them in if that's what you're into. :D (You can colour the little ones but the download link sends you to a bigger version of the image.)
