Content Notes: Buddy movie good times
Summary: In which I draw an amused Merlin and Arthur with ink and coffee.
Artist Notes: If you had asked me in January if I would take on another art project after I finished my works formerlin_art_fest and camelotremix, I would have told you that there was no way. No. Way. I was done, and paperlegends would be my main focus until July.
I would have been WRONG.
A couple of weeks ago,amphigoury found this neat thing on tumblr called the "Let's Draw Sherlock" project, where 101 artists all drew him based on this one promo photo, all in their own individual way, and it got put together in a mosaic. And it was AWESOME. And we wished that we could get something similar together for Merlin.
And then someone DID. And, well, after wishing it would happen, and then having it actually happen, I sort of HAD to do it, right? And besides, they'd done all the hard work for me! I had a gesture drawing template to sort out the anatomy, and all I had to do was make it mine.
So I did. It took me... 4-ish days. And here it is!
Huge thanks toamphigoury who was my enabler and beta. Thanks also to everyone in chat who was patient enough to watch my livestream and do some live cheerleading. Faithful viewers, you know who you are, and you have my thanks!
Those who watched the livestream will know that this piece is brought to you today by "Lazy Eye" by Silversun Pickups, which I listened to obsessively while creating this.

But whenever I do managed to get up to some actual art, I'll tweet about it. :D (I'm @altocello if we're not already following each other over there... so many accounts!)
