My husband then came into the room to check on the noises I made, because they were apparently new. 😑 Not me, just the noises. Apparently, he knew I was fine.

I fear I am becoming the kind of academic who is less like Hermione Granger and is more like book!Howl Pendragon. I just shouted: “No, banana! What tragedy has just befallen you? And me! My skirt! You smeared it as you tumbled to the ground! Oh, sadness!”

Thank you, you are always so kind. ❤️ These are great! (When I was younger I loved pre-Disney Star Wars!)

My beloved winged SoundSports stopped working while I was running this morning (just the left side, so I can at least still control my iPod whose control button broke like a decade ago). Then I got home and saw our car has a flat tire. Off to a great start today. 🥲

My husband just asked me how much coffee I've had today (derogatory). The answer is a lot, apparently. 🤔 (I was out of my regular mostly just flavour coffee and drank his caffeine infused caffeine instead this morning...) Whelp, back to work!

Did too much work today, now my brain is mush. So, here are two images of an experiment that went sideways (do not lighten the blue lines before you colour!). #dramionewips #wip #dramione #dhrart

I cried a total normal amount at the end of Divergence, there was no sobbing to be seen or heard. 😅 Anyhoo, working on these two, because they also totally didn't make me cry at the end of C3.

11. I don't think I've shown this one before? The original pen sketch was from 2019, and I've been slowly finishing it over the past few years. This is just the vibe sketch. The idea: Adventurer Hermione owns a magical emporium; Draco frequently stops by to see what's new. #wip #dramioneart

10. I used to collab a lot, back when I was a much younger Q in a much younger HP fandom (before we were all entrenched so deeply in our ships). I've done a bit since I joined the dramiones, but I usually just feel like the odd one out here, so I mostly just work on my own things. I'm also busy irl.

9. I'm not a huge fan of drawing for other people as I get very anxious and my perfectionism kicks in pretty hard. And sharing my drawings with people I know personally makes me very uncomfortable because of bad past experiences. Sharing with strangers on the internet is fun though. Usually.

8. It really depends on the day, and where I'm at mentally. I feel like I'm more confident than not, but I have also worked very hard to detach my sense of self-worth to how other people react (or fail to react) to my work. Somedays I feel really down about it though (So I disappear for a bit).

7. I used to do commission work and cons and things like that over a decade ago, but it wasn't a great fit for me at the time. Now I don't have the time, or the inclination to work for people, so I mostly just work for myself and draw what makes me happy.

But I’ll take your comment as a like, so: 22. For drawing, my favourite medium are pencil crayons. I think I do my best work with them. Though I haven’t used them since 2020, when my NY resolution was to learn to work digitally.

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
Don’t feel bad! I feel like there used to be versions of these things where people would pick!

6. Backgrounds. My brain and my hand just do not understand perspective. They are the bane of my existence. But I’ve been trying so hard these past 10 years to get better at them, and I think I am making progress (procreate has helped a lot). I envy people who just take real photos and blur them! ❤️

5. If I am doodling (just letting my pen do what it wants) I almost never use references. If I am sketching or working on something specific, I will always use at least one, though sometimes there are several.

4. I love drawing people. I really enjoy trying to figure out how to make them look like they have weight and form, and that their clothing and fabric folds match their shapes and movement.

3. I took art classes from grade 8-12; I have 1/2 a BFA; and I spent about 20 years learning from (and then working for) a master potter. But for drawing and colouring I feel I learnt the most through doodling, practice, and observation.

2. I think I started when I was 10? I had been very inspired by Sailor Moon. So, it’s been a *while* 😅

1. I generally prefer working with my hands, but now that I have a better grasp of working digitally I do enjoy and appreciate how much easier it is to fix mistakes or change your plan halfway through while working on a tablet. So, both, depending on what I want to make.

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
Also, it's been a while since I've done one of these...

I think one of my favourite things about using copics is that you get two versions of every drawing. I've just been slowly filling this book up, but I have no gumption to scan or share the results, so just more wips for now. I hope everyone is doing as okay as they can be. ❤️ #wips #dramioneart

In this version Draco befriends Luna first before Hermione, so it changes the timeline of how their friendship plays out. Draco & Luna friendship is one of my favourite things, and I tried to include it in LMU but that Hermione got *obscenely* jealous so I cut it out. lol! 😅

After two months of working every day (for at least an hour) I have finally submitted 32,000 words of garbage to my supervisor. Only 15,000 more terrible words to go. 😩

I started this story at the same time as Light Me Up (along with a third story). It’s about 20 chapters long, 60% written, and I may or may not finish it (or maybe I’ll turn it into something non-fandom related?). It’s technically an AU of LMU, so they both make a lot of nods to each other. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
I have finally bridged the gap between the last 10 chapters of LMU (which have been written for almost 2 years) and my last update. It’s weird to see the end in sight. Still slow going unfortunately. I’m working with writing fumes and they’re not very potent. 😩 (I get like 15 mins a day).

I have the attention span of a slightly intrigued goldfish right now. Hoping I’ll keep bouncing around long enough until I get my work done. 😑

Also, I seem to have entered a blue phase. Perhaps there will be some blue-skinned characters on the horizon… 😩

I did too much writing today, so I took a CR and drawing break. Of course I had to try and draw lace because how is a challenge not relaxing? 😅 I think I need to buy some periwinkle colour copics, but I worry that every single Hermione I draw will be in periwinkle if I do. #wip #dramioneart

Thank you!! 🥰 Your Draco occupies more of my headspace than he probably should. Thank you for sharing him with us! ❤️

And I of course mean @omniluciestumbra.bsky.social ‘s constellation Draco. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think you’re right. I rallied and wrote 1,500 words after I posted this. They will need to be re-written, but they exist. ❤️

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 18/01/2025
I know, I probably should have kept writing. 😭 also, THANK YOU!!

Today I thought I could finally conquer the chapter I am working on, but my brain said NOPE. Instead, it wanted to join the bandwagon of brilliant constellation!Dracos. I guess tomorrow will be filled with panic writing. Maybe one day I will plug in my scanner and upload all my stress drawings...

Today I went out, did a bunch of things, and came back home, only to realize that I had unintentionally matched my lipstick to my purple scarf. (Or I guess picked a scarf that matched my lipstick). Crochet is a dangerous hobby my friends. It makes you coordinate in interesting and exciting ways. 😅

Today’s colouring break was going to be a bit smuttier than this, but I forgot not to add clothes and just blindly followed the drawing reference. 😩 Oh well, I drew a bum. (This is not the same drawing as the one with the socks 🙃)

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 09/01/2025
I took a colouring break today and added some Snitches to Draco’s socks. Thought I’d share. 🙃 Any guesses as to what’s happening in the rest of the picture??

I tried to do a bit of work on LMU this morning before I got ready for the day (part of my normal routine). However, my thumb kept hitting “f” instead of “g”, so I gave up. Adventures in writing. 😩

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 08/01/2025
I probably personify things too much because everything in my life has “feelings” at some point (I’m a bad analytic philosopher lol!). Did the canvas eventually stop? I would be so mad about the wasted materials.

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 08/01/2025
Making a colour tracker or test page is the first thing I do whenever I get new materials or new paper! It saves so much time and it’s fun! Just make sure you print one on the paper you plan to use (the paper I used for that one *hates* tombows lol).

Happy New Year! 🎉 I hope you all had a good NYE! I spent part of my evening setting up my bullet journal and watching the Critmas special. :) This will be my 4th year with a CR theme, but it's the 1st time I've featured VM. I felt like a battle-ready Keyleth for January might make things better.

Tiny Q @tinyq.bsky.social · 29/12/2024
Setting up a new bullet journal (on the left) and decided to redo my Keyfish drawing (because the original Dutch window was a big old fail). 3.5 years apart, same materials, very different paper (which apparently does not like my white pens). Which do you like better?
