Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? Itās cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

The lungi is a traditional garment worn in many southern states of India. It's different from the dhoti, in that it is a tubular shape (like
Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

Itās only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.
I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.
If youāre struggling to think of clothing ideas for your fantasy people, consider using giant rectangles!

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?
It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.
There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claireās Historical Fashion Reference & Resources
another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

Much like my leaf/tree tutorial this is another crazy simple guide but it might help a few of you! I love to get a lot of thumbnail type ideas down first before I settle on something final so I like to use this quick method as a way of exploration, basic research into what Iām trying to achieve and a means of creating variety in my work (I hope!) On the flip-side I know a lot of people struggle with creating environments in general, this could be a good way to ease yourself into drawing them without getting too bogged down in details and technicalities, just blasting your ideas down onto a canvas!
A couple people asked me how I vary my leaves and trees and honestly, itās super easy! Iāve never made a tutorial/guide before so I kept this mega simple but I hope someone out there might find it useful at least!
Also, anyone can download the brushes I use for all my art on my tumblr page (: I only use around 5 so go nuts haha
i keep forgetting to upload on tumblr, so here we go

I donāt really know what people generally call this method of sigil making, so Iām just calling it āLetter Shapingā because youāre using the basic shapes from certain letters. This is the most common form of sigil making, and it allows the most creative influence. As you see above the sigils are for nearly the same thing, yet the sigils came out completely different. Not because the purpose was different, but because I approached them both a different creativeĀ way, and thatās what I like so much about this method. Thereās a lot of freedom and personalization involved.
(UPDATE: Hereās a link to a guide on how to deconstruct letters down to basic shapes)

Tuesday Tips ā Character Interaction: A never ending practice in visual storytelling. Also one of the hardest to pull off. Thereās some obvious tips and approaches (visuals of todayās tip), but it boils down to connecting with your audience by engaging them emotionally. The more specific you can get, the more youāll touch a nerve. Calling back personal experiences or feelings you had while watching other go through something will elevate your work significantly. Todayās tip is just skimming the surface of very general techniques that can help you start the process of creating scenes between characters. And, again, this is a never-ending process. Have fun! -Norm
