[they/them, zine work] 🐠🫧art i did for seaglass lens mag , an ocean themed zine run by a couple pals of mine :3 lots of very lovely artists involved, go check it out!!!

hi tumblr friends can i get thoughts on this so i’m thinking either itty bitty power charm (like 1.5 inch tall) that same theme as this drawing and u can get as a set

OR

straight up just this power as a charm

i feel like she is too tall tho to be good charm size?? so i’m stuck on it a little LOL

hii, first of all your art is absolutely gorgeous and you are so talented 💞!! i was just wondering if you had any advice on how you draw curly and textured hair? no worries if you don’t have the time to answer this!!

hi thank you!!! sorry this took me forever HAHA i wanted to put together a coherent detailed thing but realized i uhhh honestly don’t think that hard abt it when i draw

i tend to just plan out the hair parting n hairline

and then i just simplify n stylize curls by only drawing the front half of the curl? like this ^^ i like drawing them in an implied sort of style

rest of advice i’d give is to just observe how real hair sits (ie looser curls being more visible from further away n coming off as bigger etc etc) n how other artists draw hair !

‼️‼️‼️YEAAA TRUE

i can just come full circle n do whatever i want once i’m like. a face wizard.

i think my style is shifting these days away from what ppl usually recognize it for but that’s ok with me

a lot of the habits i picked up that looked nice aesthetically were rlly hard to replicate bc my foundations wereeee SUPER WEAK (ie faces… ppl compliment them but i promise u i used to only post the ones that turn out nice and that’d be like. 10% of the time. and it’d take hours)

i’ll b a lot happier being able to consistently draw Nice faces quickly and repeatedly rather than one WOWWWW face every 3 years, yk

js wanted to say i love your stuff ... youre a huge inspo for me and you give me courage to step out of my comfort zone for art <3 -amani ⭐️

thank amani!!!!!!! this means a lot :’3 im still learning to get out of my comfort zone too so this is sweet to hear
