Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG thread from when I made these a year ago were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Here is a new art study tutorial I found a bit difficult to understand. But I think I got close to getting it.

++++ TUTORIAL ++++

Drawing Tool: Krita (FREE Software Painting Tool)

STEP 1: Draw a circle with a darker shade from the background. Therefore use a brush with a thick or strong brush stroke.

STEP 2: Then add a brighter shade inside the circle with a brush that has a lighter brush stroke to it. So you can blend the colors smoothly.

STEP 3: Depending on the light source or direction of the light you shade the water drop.

STEP 4: Right under the water drop a brighter shade appears. (That doesn’t have to apply to every scenery drawing a water drop). That brighter shade appears because of the lighting. Since it is a transparent object the light source sort of shines through.

STEP 5: Where the Highlight appears the shadow does as well.

STEP 6: Add a little detail to it. And VIOLA you have your water drop.

I never thought of trying it that way :D

I've been playing with the idea of the Kimura Family ending up in Fodlan. Akira is the completion-ist strategy gamer, so he's got the best idea of what's going on, having played FE3H multiple times already. The rest? No clue what's going on. But they'll stick to what they're good at. Takumi can make use of his doctorate and botany knowledge, Ren can finally make use of his assassin's creed cosplaying days & general athleticism, and Ryoichi will make sure Dinner's taken care of.
