Head Advice #1: Everybody’s head is the same size.
Okay, not really, but basically. There’s a reason you don’t have to know your head circumference to find a sunhat. We all have pretty similar head sizes, especially from the visual distance we usually draw characters.
The only exception to this is babies or children under 10. Those guys definitely have smaller heads! (But did you know our skulls are already over 90% their full adult size by the age of 5?)
Different style choices demand different proportions, but in general, it’s good advice to pick a head size, and stick with it!
Head Advice #2: You can use head size to indicate a character’s size.
Big characters don’t look like average sized people scaled up. And you can’t just scale down to get a small person!
You can make a character look very big and tall or very very small — even if they are standing alone in a vast white nothingness — just by how how they are proportioned! The most important proportion (in my humble opinion) is their head size. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can’t tell which of these characters are big and which are small.
Head Advice #3: Don’t go shrinking anyone’s head.
The most common head sins I see happen when an artist is trying to indicate (body) size difference in a couple, and use their heads to do it. The result is an image that looks something like this:
If you don’t want your lovers to look like they belong in different animated tv shows, don’t go shrinking anyone’s head! Use their bodies (hands and feet and bellies and muscles) to show off their size differences.
Anyway, that’s all. Having fun giving head. I mean doing head. I mean drawing heads.
Sometimes I catch myself like “there’s no way this guy can fight and hunt and work with his long curly hair down, it would be a tangled mess, I need to draw a more utilitarian hairstyle”
But then I remember that this is fantasy and the guy in question is literally a giant orc and I can suspend my disbelief about the styling of his flowing locks
I know fel stalker puppies already exist... but imagine if they were more bean shaped. >:3

South of Midnight Review
South of Midnight is an amazing game. It's beautiful, has amazing character designs, and one hell of a soundtrack. If you go into it thinking it'll be anything like We Happy Few, you'll be disappointed. It plays more like Contrast but truly stands out on its own. I would even say it feels a lot like a Southern Gothic Alice in Wonderland. If you're looking for a new game to play, I highly recommend South of Midnight. It's easy to relate to and it's extremely enjoyable. I would even say it fits under cozy gaming because there are zero jump scares, and the gameplay isn't too difficult. The boss fights are fairly easy to figure out and the combat isn't too tough, even when played on a higher difficulty. My personal rating for SoM is a solid 9.5/10
It’s that month again folks! Happy February.
Tas’ki! 😤

Quiz Here: What emotion do you create from? - Personality Quiz
Reverence
You create from reverence. There is something you admire more than words can say. You worship and revere it, to the point that you can't help yourself from singing its praises. Your art is a means of doing this. You do your best to depict the overwhelming splendor you see in it, to make its glory clear. Your work is the highest praise of everything you revere, a tribute to the most wonderful things you know. There is nothing more inspiring to you than the objects of your deepest admiration. It drives you to create over and over again, to strive to adequately capture the splendor you see. You are single minded in your devotion, determined to do justice to what shines so brilliantly in your eyes. You offer up your art as a tribute to something greater than yourself, a goodness that you can only aspire to. That is what the act of creation means to you.
Do you happen to have any tips for drawing horns?
Hi, Anon! I’ll definitely try my best. Horns are a little tricky since they’re so subjective and the styles/textures vary so drastically.
Mostly I’m going to be talking about texture here and I’ll try to keep it simple since they’re time consuming to draw.
Smooth horns are great and easy, can come in any and all shapes, but if you want to add more interest and character to the horns, it all comes down to how you texture them. Here’s a simple smooth horn. It’s okay, it’s basic, but it works and will especially work better once it’s colored if it has a sheen or a matte look.
You can add simple lines to it to give it a bit more interest, but you can take it farther than just the cylinder look like drawn here. The lines give it the easy, quick illusion of being more dimensional, but it’s not the most interesting or dynamic.
You can play with the lines however you like to give the horns more uniqueness, such as a line down the center to sort of pinch it inwards. Still more dynamic than the smooth horn, but more interesting than the rounded one.
You can leave the lines as they are for an easier horn, or take it a step farther and use them as guides to texture them. This is where it gets fun, but time consuming. Definitely look up references of what you want to go for if you’re not sure. I highly recommend Ram, Ibex or Antelope references, Antelope being my favorite. They have so much texture to them in the forum of smaller and larger ridges, so here’s a horn based loosely (artistic liberties taken) off a mix of Ram and Antelope.
Getting into plates which are my favorite, there’s little to reference off of. Here’s a more dynamic, spiky look with plates using the guide lines as a base to get an ideal direction you want the horn to shape into.
Just take your guide lines and then extend outward. Add as little or as much wear, tear and damage as you want. Horns can get dry and crack, they can take a hit and break, age can cause grooves, your imagination’s the limit.
Outside of plates, you can look up any horned animal to get ideas for texture, anything from steer to deer and elk (if you want to get more into the antlered look), or mix and match textures from a few horn styles you like. Hope this helps! Sorry I can’t go more in depth, but I tried to explain it as best as I know how. Good luck with your horns!
