@/SouthpauzArt’s Gengar gijinka on Twitter. I finished it near the end of last year. Technically it was supposed to be finished for artfight and then for blacktober but I just never really got around to finishing until November-December. SouthpauzArtが所有するキャラクター

Happy Latino heritage month!!!

i've decided to do a little challenge where everyday until October 15th, I draw a latino character! today's character is Isabella, who is Mexican-Jewish.

i got huge inspiration for this challenge from southpauz on instagram, where she drew a black character for every day of black history month, so please check her work because she's how I even got the idea for this. i don't know for sure if i'll stick it through the entire challenge, but i'll try my best!

so sorry if you arent giving art tips; but how did you learn to draw poc hair?? i need advice and yours is so cool

Thank you! And I would really mainly recommend studying how other (POC) artists stylize hair, and simultaneously referring to photos of people of color for inspiration + understanding texture.

I think, it's all about the context of your style really. I learned a very looong time ago when I was a kid on how to draw curly hair specifically because I had big ol' curls myself + I was subconsciously studying hair styles of the like in cartoons or media I enjoyed!

The thing is, just don't overthink the shapes. At least for cartoony styles like anime, or one like mine where the texture mainly comes from the coloring + rendering, the structure can be super simple to follow if you don't overthink it.

^ Taking this newer WIP of my OC's really quick for reference! If you look closely, the shapes are mostly just little bumpy cloud-like chunky strokes! And while this isn't rendered hair yet, you can still read it as the texture it's intended as.

......................... ...

^ An older doodle of my other OCs to show other hairstyles.. While I draw braids + locs a smidge differently now, this was still composed of wobbly lines that I defined a bit with other squiggles! Not so hard I promise! And obviously, I can always do better + I will continue to study/improve.

Some artists I have been particularly inspired by when drawing textured & POC's hairstyles are here if you wanna check them out: southpauz / kidciitrix / p0nyplanet / xavier illustrates / likelihoodart / toorurii .. ETC.! (I love how they draw hair in general LOL it's all so good..) Hopefully this helps a bit!

Black History Month Art Challenge

DAY 14: A.J. - The Fairly Odd Parents

hey! do you have any tips on drawing expressions, esp. with black lips? i rly love ur art of black characters, and as a black artist myself its a little embrasing that im having trouble wit this lol

that's fair lol. Honestly the biggest thing that's helped me learn expressions and stylizing characters was studying other artists (i'd recommend checking out southpauz and yap1co!! they're real big inspos of mine and they both do a rly sick job with expressions, esp when it comes to black characters)

I tried to doodle up a few examples to show my own approach. i'm ngl i ain't great at explaining, but usually I try to go for soft rectangular shapes when drawing lip details. for making expressions in general tho I guess i just try to include teeth in any way possible. it forces me to experiment with mouth shapes more, especially w more exaggerated stuff

"Throttle Down, Zim"

As a thanks to my friend @sad-fat-cat-mom for the excellent Zim & Ace commission she made for me, I wanted to draw something with our favorite Green Bois, too. For some reason this notorious exchange from the unaired POWERPUFF GIRLS live-action series popped into my head, & I thought it'd be hilarious with these two.

Special thanks to @southpauz for cementing this bit of dialogue into my brain with their awesome drawing of teenage Buttercup & Bubbles. I agree, it should've become a meme.

For the last day of black history month!

CHARM HERE: ko-fi.com/s/6ae2d5d4c4 international here: imaplatypuscreations.etsy.com/listing/1129451488

She's such a cool side character, but unfortunately, she's very poorly written. southpauz wrote a fantastic explanation on that in her recent insta post, and I urge you to read it. The instagram post

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my 19th addition to my pony collection 🤭.

Black History Month Art Challenge

Day 3: Kat from Wendell & Wild

[bluetrainer]

So let me just preface this with the fact that I’m also posting this on Instagram but… instagram is currently being really shitty to artists because of AI bullshit soooo, you know what, I’ve decided to post this here too.

If you remember for pride month 2022 I drew 5 queer couples from media as a way to celebrate. So this year, partially inspired by what the amazingly talented @southpauz does for Black History Month I’m going to do a Pride Month Art Challenge!

For the next 30 days I’m going to be posting art of queer characters from media, but specifically to reflect mine being a gay man I’ll be drawing male loving male couples.

So please enjoy Pride Month Art Challenge Day #1: Cyrus and TJ from Andi Mack!

Boy oh boy do I love this show and wish we could watch it legally on streaming. (Oh well, guess we’ll have to 🏴‍☠️ for now, what a shame 😉) But yeah that’s Day 1/30, hopefully y’all will stick around for all 30 days.

The faces you drew in that animatic reminded me of this post:
