hello!! i wanted to ask, do you have any tips on how 2 draw noses?? i really love the way you draw them and faces in general they always look so shaped!!!
Noses are very shapey in general! Once you have the basic components of the nose you can kinda just fuck around with them and go crazy with the proportions
It may not be anatomically accurate but that's how I construct them haha
tutorial on how I (personally) draw fluffy/curly hair!!
(this does not include hair with very tight curled, or hair with high texture or "coil" curls! i can however attempt a tutorial on that as well :) )
for longer hair styles, or hair that is more wavy or more curly, simply make the bump-slope longer and more loose, or shorter and more tight depending on how you want!
I wish I could explain it better, but this is pretty much what I do! I tend to make fluffy hair at least a decent amount away from the "head", so that it looks less flat and has more volume, as well as having more upward facing "slopes" then down!
please let me know if you have any questions!
Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

Hi, I know you said that your bases/poserefs are organized in a Pinterest board, but I can’t seem to see it as one of the boards on your Pinterest?
I might just be a bit dumb and missed it
It’s an issue with Pinterest 😭😭 it frequently disappears
