Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. Iād do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but itās just too long (which is great because itās a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while youāre there.
Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didnāt know how much I didnāt know!
This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!
{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, āBlack Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they wonāt make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}
I noticed in the comments that some people canāt see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!
More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit
