The Brain Rot Spot

I think my own personal favorite parts of this art are first of all all the poses and how dynamic they are. I used a bunch of reference pictures for this one (and changed/added some of my own stuff to some of them) and I feel like whenever I do that it always turns out so nice and looking very lived in. Like just in general I'm so proud whenever my art doesn't look stiff and instead is so full of movement and I think that worked out really well here. I also love the detail of Will pulling up Mike's sweater while Mike is leaning over him and the way they're like ear to ear in that drawing and how you can see a bit of Will's hair peek out behind Mike's sweater. Also the way you can see Will's stomach peek out between their legs. Another part I love is the way Mike is basically sitting On Will's stomach in the middle left drawing and similarly to the hair, Will's knees peeking out behind Mike a little. I also like Will's sketchbook design that he painted on it himself AND I'm very proud of the shadow under the sketchbook, like the way the sketchbook throws a shadow onto the couch. It's only a small thing but I like what it does for the perspective <3 Also in that bottom drawing Mike has his one leg kinda crossed under the outstreched one. Idk if that is understandable how I'm describing it but yeah. I also love the little stars at the top and Mike's open mouth there, plus his foggy glasses look so cute and his hair is supposed to be like wet with sweat. Also a detail that probably nobody would notice if I didn't point it out is that I made Will's hair a little longer in the back, so that it peeks out more and covers more of his neck simply cause I think that would look so so cute and pretty on him!!<3 also in the drawing where they kiss I wanted it to look like Will is pulling up Mike's sweater to undress him, that's why I wrote the "pull up" there lol. Also Mike in Will's lap!!! I love that!!!!! Makes me very happy ^^

Lastly I'm seriously just so so in love with the colors and how vibrant they are, it makes it all looks so nice and bright but also still intimate cause of the shadows. Also I'm really proud of how the colors blend into each other a lot, especially for the background. I think it makes it look nice because everything else is so full and so the background being just one plain color wouldn't have looked good. Like it would have looked empty in comparison to the rest. And the way I drew it here it also gives the drawing so much nice texture. Yeah, I'm just very proud of the colors <33

Bonus: the two color palettes I mainly used for this one and the ones I've just in general been using a lot for my byler fanart <33

Also please look at the textures and patterns of the clothes here, I'm very proud of those, also i added some buzz to the backgroud that increases every panel until Max says something and then the buzz goes away. It's a really small detail that probably isn't even visible but I wanted the kissing to feel a little fuzzy and dream like and then that stops once they realize that this isn't actually a dream ^^ That's what I used the buzzing effect for but again I might have made it not visible enough

Here is a version without the lighting because it hides some details, that I'm very proud of <3
