#mes chamoru

[i-the-vezzel]

indigenous people are the strongest people I know

[langet-archive]

[ID: two digital drawings of me, the op, a mixed chamorro person. i have curly shoulder-length brown hair in an undercut, tan skin, brown eyes, and glasses. in the first drawing i am facing the left, hair down and partially covering the right (to the viewer) side of my face, smiling and looking up. im wearing a grey cowl sweatshirt with a brown leather jacket over it. beside it is a smaller drawing of me with my hair up in a ponytail, wearing a turquoise turtleneck, facing right and looking down to the left with a neutral expression. handwritten text below reads "halomtano'!" in all caps, "måtso hå'åni 1 ya 2" below it. around the drawings are notes- one saying "line weight!" and pointing to the side of my face, another saying "curves." underlined 3 times pointing to both my hair and cheek, and one between the two drawings that says "i default to curly hair." there is a row of 6 hearts with the colors used in the drawings in the bottom right, and the background is a lighter blue. /end id]

biba måtso, biba mes CHamoru!

not only is it mARTch, it is also CHamoru month! i combined days 1 and 2 for this one technically. the most important building blocks for my style are basically line weight variation, curves, curves again, curves one more time, and shapes for good measure. rough brushes also helps. also i have a chronic problem with only designing characters with curly hair.

im really proud of being CHamoru and obviously during our heritage month ive got to incorporate that into mARTch and spread inafa'maolek, so you can expect a lot more CHamoru themes in my upcoming pieces for this challenge ^^ today its just me myself & i!
