Hi Omu, how are you? I hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask you something: how do you draw hair? I really admire how you do it, it looks amazing. For me it feels really hard to even get started, it seems too complex.

I love your art.

Hello! First of all thank you so much, and second I'm really sorry for taking 5 business years to respond...

So for the basic idea, I treat the hair as one big blob at first, breaking it down into three parts starting with a mid shade (I'll paint the example on top of this man):

And then I go with a darker shadow shade to add the basic dimension into the blob

And lastly I add a highlight shade

And then of course you can keep alternating between these to bring out certain strands and details, add different hues and more highlights to make it more dynamic and so on. It's important not to start overdetailing immediately, I like to focus on getting the most basic shape and dimension in first. I hope this helps somewhat!

Oh my god I'm so inlove with how you drew unmasked hunk. Is there a possibility I could use it as my pfp. With credits of course

Hii I don't mind at all, go for it!

Hi, I hope you're well! First of all, I love your art style so much and it's been a huge inspiration for a while! I'm not sure if you've answered this question before but do you have any advice when it comes to getting facial proportions right? (or proportions in general)? Thank you so much and have a great day 🌸🥰

Hii! I'm not sure how old this ask is cause tumblr didn't notify me... but thank you so much for the kind words, it makes me really happy to hear 🥲 I don't remember if I answered something like that tbh, but I can tell you some things that help me. Depending on if you want to sketch or paint theres two exercises/ techniques I like to practice. #1 for sketching.. I can recommend this exercise if you wanna train your eye and hand on proportions and spotting what's off:

Basically sketching side by side with your ref and then overlaying it in the end to see where you're off. This helps me a ton, however I hate sketching and linework so I don't do it often hsmd... #2 for painting.. I do this a lot more often, sometimes I start the whole painting sketchless like this. Split your ref up into the most basic big shapes possible and as soon as it becomes readable you got a good base and you can go refining from there. The more you simplify the face the easier it becomes to place things accurately. There are a lot of tutorials online that explain this better than me tho Example:

I hope this helps a little! 🤠🫶

Omu, what are your personal favorite movies?

Sorry for the late reply 💀 I don't really watch a lot of movies anymore lately because I'm lacking energy for it, but I like horror movies so probably Halloween, Saw.. I also think Oldboy (the korean one) is one of the best non horror. I also like Nic Cage movies.. I enjoy things that are a bit ridiculous

Hi Omu! I hope you’re feeling better after those migraines.

Have you been playing any videogames recently?

I'm better, thank you!

Besides still playing DBD every other day (help) I started Alan Wake but didn't get very far yet.. I'm kinda just waiting for Silent Hill f and the new Pokemon to come out
