> “🎵🏁⬆️🌙!!” I have drawn Sandy before, but this is my first finished portrait of him. I had to do some studies first because I had no idea how to really approach this, as he’s such an interesting combination of human and otherworldly. I leaned into his hair being a bit more like it is in the books. I ran into a similar problem with his hair as I did with Tooth ’s feathers in that it’s really symmetrical in the film and if you’re going for symmetry in art, it looks really bad if you’re even a little off. So, like with Tooth’s feathers, I wanted to put a bit of movement and asymmetry into Sandy’s hair. Something I love about doing fan art is that I end up noticing things about the character designs and costumes that I might not have noticed before. I knew Sandy had sand clothes but it turns out there’s also some sparkly dream sand in his hair at any given time.
