#plati-arts

So excited to receive another order I got from @plati-arts​ a few days ago =) The golden trio bookmark set was the biggest reason I ordered this time but as pretty as they’re, I end up liking Plati’s OC bookmark set more. 

The top two bookmarks are my favorites from the set because the details on the uniform are gorgeous and I love how the blurry flowers look. Just by the art itself, the middle one doesn’t have as much details as the others and its colors are not vibrant like the others but it’s actually another reason I bought the set at the first place because of Plati’s personal story on the piece. I don’t really understand the stories behind the bottom two but they look pretty to me anyway.

Plati was nice enough to send me two bookmarks of her OC characters. (The bookmark’s two-sided so they are all the same) This is not the first time I have gotten them so I have four now, lol. (I got the first two back when I ordered the lovely stickers for the first time) 

Now I have a confession to make: I don’t use bookmarks at all. Because 1. I have been reading exclusively on Kindle for years and 2. back when I still read a physical book, I tend to lose my bookmarks all the time that it’s better for me to just use a receipt or something. Therefore, the sole purpose of my growing bookmark collection is for me to take them out occasionally to admire, like all my other prints.

I mentioned my Kindle just now, I should also say I absolutely love looking at these adorable dorks whenever I take my Kindle out.

Lesson learned here: Never say never. I’ve said before that I likely won’t be able to use the stickers (because they’re too cute but I do have >1 copy of those stickers). I got the stickers with the same design as the charms as a gift from my last order but I bought one more just so I could use them if I want.

Haven’t done this in a while, so I think I should show off my collection for a bit. Thank you Plati for all your lovely art and products. Belated Happy Birthday! <3

Btw, the only things I owned which were HP-related back in 2016 were the books and a few movies. What has happened since then?

What is it Albus’ cardboard cutout man says? Allons y!

I was gonna show you guys these super cute Scorbus stickers when they arrived, but it totally slipped my mind.

I was VERY excited to receive my latest order from @plati-arts yesterday night. They arrived much earlier than expected and are absolutely beautiful!! The charms are so adorable but I’m really wondering if I’m making a mistake by just ordering 3 out of the 4 available. While I don’t really need a mirror, it’s cute and goes well with the sketch book. 

As someone who draws (not sure what word I should use instead because I don’t feel comfortable referring myself as an artist, which seems to imply a certain level of skills that I obviously don’t have, oh well...) I just had to start working on a quick sketch immediately on my new sketch book, which ended up being an absolute failure in the sense that... my “quick sketch” took me 5 hours (especially considering the fact that I’m supposed to be studying for an exam I failed earlier).

It’s quite obvious to me that I’m not using the sketch book the way it’s intended for but it just so happened that I have absolutely no idea how to do a quick sketch at all. However, I would say the paper actually fared quite well given how often I used my eraser, albeit quite gently. The paper itself is quite thin, exactly as described, but easy to work with because it’s very smooth. 

By the way, I drew Samuel Blenkin as Scorpius because I had wanted to try that for quite a while. Anthony will always have a special place in my heart as Scorpius because he’s the one I watched (likely the only one I’ll ever watch) but there’s something about Samuel’s look that absolutely screams Scorpius, especially his pointy face and vulnerable look. 

Aside from spending way too much time on this “quick sketch”, I’m quite pleased with it considering I haven’t really been drawing for the last few months. But I should definitely start forcing myself to draw within a time limit because I draw way too slow.

Thank you @plati-arts again for your wonderful art! I have amassed quite a collection now :P 

My week has been absolutely terrible that all I want to do is to cry myself to sleep but your art really brought me some well-needed cheer.
