You'll learn to say "love;" I'll learn to hear it.

A pitfall a lot of people fall into when drawing afro-textured Black hair is that they draw the curls as if they were loose, using sharp shapes that imply a very different flow than you'd find with 4c-adjacent coils.

See below:

While all three are hair textures people can have, larger shapes and sharper points show an increased loss of texture. Ideally, you should be using small, fairly uniform shapes if you aren't familiar enough with Black hair to experiment with how you show texture.

There are a lot of ways to use sharpness and small detail when designing Black hairstyles that don't necessitate looser curls! Shaping/styling can really take you almost anywhere.

And don't just listen to me! Check out Ice @creatingblackcharacters for beautiful Black-made art and her incredibly detailed syllabus. The more you pay Black people their due attention, the better you'll get.

edit: Turning reblogs off. I wasn’t initially happy with this piece, but the overwhelming support on it changed my mind. Thank you. I’m so happy it could touch so many people. I’m turning reblogs off because of the recent disrespectful and racist actions of gooseworx and her team. I also don’t think I will be posting tadc fanart in the future. Hope you understand.
