Description Joseph: Don't go, Cecero.
Cecero: But the nightingale has stopped singing.
Joseph: Just for today, pretend you never heard the song end.


These two are just so amazing! I love them so much! Ah, in case you don't know, these are 's characters from her book, Sacred! They are just the most precious, ah, I can't form words on just how amazing they are! I didn't do them justice, so you have to go check out her gallery to see them in full glory!

Liz uses a lot of symbolism in her art and my favorite one she uses is the nightingale, so I was inspired to do this after seeing her newest piece "Nightingale's Song" -> [link]

I tried challenging myself with the background. At first it was going to be white with a glow behind them, but then I was like Sunrise..so it turned out like this.
I tried to keep the hair in control, but I just love flowy things OTL
I'll post a crappy tutorial on this sometime in the near future.

Med: quill and ink, crayola watercolor, and white acrylic
Nightingale reference: [link]

Enjoy~

I love this series<3. Lovely work with the colours^_^. It's incredible that you did this with Crayola watercolours. It looks great! I really like the nightingale, too.

Ah, I love Sacred so much! Liz is such an amazing writer!
Never underestimate the power of technique! Put an artist in a room with limited supplies and they can make great things you wouldn't believe~

Thank you so much! I am really glad that you like it!
I really enjoyed drawing their hands~ Joseph has such large..mmm..manly hands and Cecero's are so precious and dainty~
I was grinning like an idiot when drawing this, thinking of Joseph saying that to him.
Thinking of the "after" makes me giggle. Oh, how I love your boys!

Thank you so much!
