Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

edit: apparently tum "queerest place on the internet" blr hates disabled people so much that this post got automatically filtered. cool!

second way more important edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?

Disabled people are not your fucking body horror. Grow up.

I've been in a BSD mood lately. Sadly it involves me thinking about those two and then crying at least once a day.

HAPPY LET PAPYRUS SAY THE F-WORD DAY!

I try not to curse but Papyrus can be my digital exception. I thought about censoring it for my own sanity, but then I was just like “meh,” and so here you have him. In all his glory. Because he is. The coolest. Guy. On the block. :D

Also Happy Father’s Day👍

I have some weird art block and I can only draw trees and a little Snufkin. How you deal with art block? Couse I don't know what to do. Like this is how most of my sketchbook looks like right now.
