I still love this piece a lot, Aselina is an artist whose work I like a lot and I'm really glad I got to commission her to draw my girls, she was super nice to work with and she didn't refuse it because of their 'weird' anatomy (I tend to ask artists if they're okay with drawing them beforehand). It was interesting contacting her through FA notes and then immediately asking if we could talk through VK because FA's notes are to me unnaceptable in the age of instant messaging. She got slightly confused as to why we were speaking in english, she assumed I was russian if I knew about VK, so I told her that I made a VK account just to follow her art and a couple others, also told her I am definitely not russian, I'm brazilian. I tried learning some russian but couldn't keep up with it, it's a fascinating language though.
Anyways I adore her use of colors and the fact that this is done traditionally on A5 kind of blows my mind, she really knows how to use colored pencils and knows how to make the colors really pop. She absolutely nailed their hair colors, the bright pink and blue look really lovely.
Really highly recommend checking out her work, I've linked her VK page and FA page down below:
