Lesser Dog Has Gone Where No Dog Has Gone Before.

I noticed that all the very young royals in EOA have one thing in common: the colour green. So I decided to draw a picture of them all together! 💚 Isa, Caterina and Ari all like building things, and Nico likes flying, so they're all building a glider together.

You know, I always wondered how Victor and Ash met and began a relationship in the first place. Especially if Ash was still hellbent on tracking down Zopilote and on the path of gaining unlimited power. I think chances are zero to none of Carla dating a “good” evil person. I can’t even see her with Alonso. Dating a Royal guard that is dedicated to protecting Avalor and dating the Royal Wizard would imply just how much Carla has gravitated towards goodness and good magic.

In the end it's up to interpretation, personally I like to think that they met because of their mutual interest in doing shady things. Mabey they met while trying to steal the same thing and then decided to work as a team to steal stuff and then it just snowballed from there. But ultimately Ash’s thirst for power was stronger than the connection she had with Victor. 

I think the chances are 0 as well, I was just speaking hypothetically. I can see the merit in either of those ships and it's cool if you ship them, but personally I'm neutral about them.

Madrigal sisters!

Made this for @blueflyingturtleontheway last year! I loved drawing all the details! (Also, ferrets.)

Not too long ago, I was looking at your heartwarming artwork of Carla befriending the prison dog in your artwork! That’s such a wonderful idea! I feel like even post redemption Carla might go down every once in awhile just to visit the dog, who misses her company. I can even imagining Gabe having trouble feeding the dog, and all i of f a sudden Carla appears behind him and helps him approach the dog in a gentler way❤️ Your artwork is really inspiring!

Thank you so much for your kind words! And that sounds like a great idea!

 I feel like it would make logical sense that the dog is normally there in the dungeon when they have prisoners, not for the purposes of guarding it, but for the purpose of making sure the prisoner isn't lonely. I like to think that when Carla was imprisoned she got to take it out for walks when the guards were with her, and that she was later also given a rubber ball so she could play fetch with it.

Some mother son baking! I was inspired to draw this by @lieutenant-amuel‘s great fanfiction “Was Born To Lead.”

Thanks for replying to my asks! I know I didn’t mention this before, but I actually look at that picture more often than not. Carla looks great with her hair down! The way it’s drawn in motion is fascinating. And the purple dress and white earrings look great on her. I am personally a huge fan of Carla’s outfit in the show sand love her complex hair style, but, I like seeing her I. Different outfits too.

Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear it!!! 🌟 It took me a while to choose the colors. The dress was the first thing I coloured, then I left the details blank, trying to choose what colors I should add to them, but then I realized that they looked good just the way they were. It was really fun to draw the hair, letting the stretch flow like fire or water.

Hi there, this is a Random headcanon that I had about Carla: In an episode Carla said "I can play him like a Violin" So I thought that maybe she can play the violin. what do you think?

Yes, headcanon accepted! I can picture it now, her in the carriage travelling with her father practicing it as they roll along together. Anything from a piece with a slow melodic flow to a fast-paced gig.

I've always headcanoned that Victor can play the accordion (Esteban and Elena were learning to play the guitar and he wanted to be different) And those two instruments go very well together! Even in their song “Way Back When” two of the main instruments are the accordion and the violin, so it works thematically as well.

A certain person asked me how I paint with watercolors so I guess I'm going to tell you all! Now I'm not professionally trained, I just learned what I know from experimenting, asking questions, and looking up tutorials. So this may not be what the experts do, but it's what works for me.

How I paint:

Materials: I have a watercolor palette, a little jar full of water, my paint brushes, some paper that is thick enough for watercolors, pencil, and some paper towel to help mop up excess water. I always put down some kind of rag cloth or newspapers down on the table first so I don't get any paint on the table. Watercolors don't stain as much as other kinds of paint but it's best to you be careful.

I always use a watercolor palette to make my paintings. This is a very different system from oil paint or acrylic paints or even liquid watercolors or watercolor pencils, so you need to keep that in mind with the rest of the things I tell you

Step 1 (Start): I decide what I'm going to paint and make a little pencil sketch of it on the paper, It doesn't need to be detailed it just needs to give me a rough idea on how big it will be and where various shapes will go. (I sketch it very light so that you don't see the pencil lines on the finished painting but you can make it dark if you still want to see the lines).

Step 2 (Layers 🧅): I decide which colours would be best to be put on the bottom layer and which colours should be put on the top layer and then begin painting accordingly. For example I painted Mirabel's skin before I painted her hair, so I could have bits of her hair going down on top of her skin. I mix the colours together on a scrap piece of paper first just to test how they look.

Step 3 (How to apply paint): I dip my paint brush in water and then swirl it around in the needed colour until I have my desired amount, then I begin to paint in the shape that I want. Whenever my brush needs more colour I put a very small amount of water on it and then rub it gently against the paint palette then brush it again on the paper. For dark colours I swirl it around longer in the paint to get more paint on it and then lay it on thick. For lighter colours I put more water on the brush and less paint on it and then use the water to spread the paint even further across the paper. Important tip: Never press your brush too hard against the paint palette or the paper when you're painting, otherwise the bristles could be bent out of shape or fall out. Use the same amount of pressure you'd use if you were petting a kitten with the paintbrush. (You shouldn't actually do that, it's just a metaphor.)

Important tip: If you ever have too much water on your paintbrush, use a paper towel to mop some of it up. You can also use a paper towel to help get unwanted paint off your brushes.

Step 4 (Waiting): After filling in one shape with a specific colour, I move on to the next colour. If I don't want the colours to mix together I wait a minute or two for the first part to dry before I continue on to the next part. But if I do want a gradient then I start adding the new colour and brush them together a bit with water.

Step 5 (Small details): Watercolours mix together really well but that means to get good looking light colours you have to apply them directly to the paper, where there isn't any paint, otherwise if they are mixed with a dark-colour they could become muddy looking. For things like Mirabelle's glasses I painted the skin around them first, leaving a white blank space and then once the paint had dried I very carefully added the light green, making sure not to get the brown paint wet again. (I also use this process for the butterfly on the accordion and the earring.)

Step 6 (Optional Final touches): Sometimes I used paint for the pupils of eyes but they never seem as detailed as I want. So instead what I do is I leave the eyes as blank white circles, and then once I'm finished painting everything else, and everything is completely dry, I use a small pen or marker to draw the black outline around the eyes as well as pupils and pencil crayons to colour the iris. I also use pencil crayons for the eyebrows, lips and dress butterflies.

Repeating these steps for a very long time eventually leads to a finished painting. If you have any questions let me know.
