Finally finished my take on this iconic Alphonse Mucha piece! I’ve had the idea to draw Freddie into this vintage Moët & Chandon ad for months now, but I wasn’t brave enough to attempt it until my lovely husband offered to design the mandala in the background (so this is a mini collab with him!) Given the style of the song, and Freddie’s love for Mucha and art nouveau, this felt like the perfect combo. We added some nods to Queen in the design (crowns in the mandala, fairies on top, outfit based on Freddie’s famous Zandra Rhodes tunic), swipe for details! I definitely struggled with the pleats on his outfit and making the sleeves properly see-through, but I’m quite happy with how it turned out 😊 this style is a bit out of my comfort zone, but Mucha is one of my favorite artists so I had give it a try!

In the middle of creating I decided to reserve this drawing for the wonderful Queen Fanzine organised by @freaking-nix that is finally out! You can read and download it for free HERE! There you can find also a slightly edited version of my fanfic “Dance with me?”, plus a ton of other wonderful fanfics and drawings made by the amazing creator of this fandom!

AKA Blue Moon Bri! I did this as part of a collaboration, and my theme was supposed to be Old Moon, but it ended up just being blue instead. I’m really proud of this piece though, and I had a ton of fun working with this limited color palette and experimenting with different brushes.

if you have any more please reply!

Sketchup is a GODSEND for drawing environments and mechanical objects. you can find 3d models for almost anything in the world, and also build your own scenes! a lot of professionals in comics use this for interiors (and it’s freeee) it’s not as helpful for figure drawing, but you can find a lot of different models in the 3dwarehouse

Body Language Freddie ❤️ this was my drawing for a four-part Hot Space collab on Instagram with @ra_rachel.b (@eileen-crys) who drew John/Back Chat, @sarah_rugg (@jackolynsparrow) who drew Brian/Dancer, and @strimbu_andreea (@toviatoris) who drew Roger/Calling All Girls. Check out their work too, they’re all amazingly talented! Sorry for posting this so late, I’m super behind on putting my art on tumblr!

Face paint Freddie! I wanted to practice a looser sketching style, but I thought I’d spice it up with some colorful face paint just for fun. Done in Procreate.

Drew one of Mick Rock’s iconic Freddie photos, accidentally spent way too much time making it super detailed, but no regrets. This was done for the DTIYS from supernovasketches on Instagram, using my favorite flower.

please like/reblog if you save!

A couple red Freddies, reference photo was a still from when Queen performed Sheer Heart Attack during their 1981 Montreal show. I’ve had some major art block recently so I decided to experiment with colors and textures.
