#also. even book!Annabeth is described with ''princess curls'' WHY DOES EVERYBODY DRAW HER WITH LIKE 2A HAIR

[aroaceleovaldez]

This is a /genq ask and not hate:If i'm understanding correctly,you headcanon Percy as black right?So why don't you give textured hair or a black hairstyle?I'm a black Pjo fan and i love the way you do Hazel's but i'm confused by Percy's

Totally fair question! I do talk a lot about how Percy can be interpreted as Black (or generally a character of color) in the books, but I don't actually usually headcanon/depict him as Black specifically!

I am fond of the hc, and I have drawn him like that before - including with tighter curls like you mentioned (both show!Percy and book!Percy!). I'm a big fan of exploring different character designs in general. That's why I run @pjocharacterdesign!

My usually hc for Percy though is actually him being Native Hawaiian! My spider-Percy art is probably my best art example so far of how I generally view him:

I just think he's neat :3c When I do the little like 5 minute or less/extremely simplified doodles of him I tend to make his hair a lot more blocky so it ends up looking like a straighter texture, but he has wavy-ish hair to me.

I do also like varying hair textures in characters in general though. It's more fun when everybody has a wide range of features! Especially from a character design perspective. Character variety go brr.

And re: Hazel, thank you!!! I have curly hair myself and i loooove drawing curls a lot. They're very fun to render :Dc
