(PS: your name is really really pretty I had to search it's meaning. From what I found, it could resemble purity (correct me if I'm wrong) , just as how the lily flower symbolizes purity too)

O James costumava aparecer do nada para falar alguma coisa pra ela. Esse é só um dos vários momentos.

"James: Eu já li esse livro, sabia? Lily: James: Parece que só quero te impressionar, mas é serio, pode me perguntar qualquer coisa dele. Lily: Eu acredito."

Up until things get blurry and messy.

I'll use your message as a way to talk about her ❤️

I have no shame in admitting I put a lot of myself in her. And a lot of what I want to be. Was that on purpose? No. But once I realised that, I thought "it make sense". Did you even know, when I did a face reveal, some thought I even look like her? I disagree hahah but well.

You see, it's not like Lily is always serious.

If you take your time to look at my drawings of lily, "internally wanting" is not a bad word. Of course in the begining it was internally, that's where feelings usually are.

And James is not her trophy. She admires him, and respects him.

there was something about James making Lily's intimate fantasy come true, and not the other way around.

Dialogue:

"May I come in?"

"Here?"

"Sorry, I know, this is too intimate. I'll leave you"

"No no no no... it's just that, funny enough, I never even thought of this."

"Never? I guess it was just me then."

i just wanted to say how genuinely happy i am to see you back and creating again. i hope you’ve had the time and space to rest, breathe, and take care of yourself.

your jily drawings have always been such a source of inspiration for me, especially while i was writing my fanfictions. there’s something so special about the way you draw them. there’s so much life, tenderness, warmth, and gentleness in every piece. it’s just you can really feel and see how much love and devotion you have for your characters, and i think that’s what makes your art so beautiful and unique.

i’m really, really glad you’re back. i hope this new chapter of creating brings you nothing but joy, and that you never feel pressured to give more than you want to. i’ll just be very happy to see whatever you choose to share.

i can’t wait to see your characters come to life again. wishing you the absolute best, and sending you so much love and good energy for whatever comes next. 💌

How do you guys do it? What features from James and Lily do you use when designing Harry, and how do you make Ginny and Lily look different? I’ve tried playing around with different face shapes, features, and different shades of red hair colours, but it’s honestly so demotivating when I put so much effort into making them feel like their own people and people still say they look alike just because they both have red hair.

I’d love to hear how you approach this or any tips you have!

Ooh what I can say is: don't beat up yourself for this, I've also received comments like "love your ginny" when I draw Lily or "oh I thought it was hinny" when I drew Jily.

It's not my fault and it's not your fault and it's not their fault.

Even this week I received a comment on twitter saying "I thought this was Paul McCartney and John Lennon". ANYWAYS...

My advice is: before jumping into drawing features, focus on the character personality. In my drawings... Harry is more restrained and traumatized but quite sarcastic and happy, while James is easy going and a bit dorky, emotional. Ginny is explosive, fun, mischief. Lily is quiet, soft spoken, but her smile brights up the room.

I think when people don't know what you are drawing, the room for imagination is wide. I draw lily with bangs as the main feature to make such distinction. My ginny is full with freckles and her hair is all over the place because I imagine her moving it a lot with her hands 🥰 James has curlier hair than harry and he's a bit more jacked lol. I draw harry with beard, but I think James didn't like that much.

Oh no, it's not about being prepared for the worst... It's about the fact I have my own safe place to deal with things about sharing my art. Whats outside of my control (what people feel about my art), I just have to let go. I don't chase comments nor views, did you know I never once published my links outside Tumblr other than Instagram?

I have a question, this piece of jily art that has been haunting me for forever and I am like 90% sure it is yours. It is at the train station and one of them is leaning out the door. Like holding onto the handle, standing on the stair sort of out the door. I think it is Lily, but my memory isn't what it used to be. Anyway, I think it involves an 'I love you'.

Did I hallucinate this?

I didn't draw them at train station so perhaps it's from another fanartist? I drew an I love you scene but not like you described.

Can we use this post to share links of Jily fics? 😊

I'll share a song in my native language that I listen to when I draw them. And when I don't.
