I love the sun marking type makeup on this guys face. TBH, I wish I'd come up with that.

Negro É ARTE

Por 400 anos eles nos deram sobras, mas todas as vezes que pegamos as sobras fizemos uma obra-prima

Pegamos os restos e fizemos comida para a alma. Pegamos os restos e fizemos moda. Pegamos nossa dor e fizemos jazz, rock, hip hop e r&b. Pegamos os guetos, demos a eles cultura e os construímos de acordo com os padrões da gentrificação.

BRATZ ANGELZ: Soft Strength 💛🌸 You don’t have to hold it all. Let the weight fall from your shoulders not everything is yours to carry. You choose balance, not battles. Health is how you breathe, how you move, how you rest in your own skin. You are not what happened. The past is a shadow, not your shape. You walk forward,lighter, wiser. You let forgiveness be a quiet act, not a performance. Grace begins inside and ripples outward. You sit beside yourself now, not as critic, but as companion. Ease comes when you stop resisting who you are. You speak the truth inward gently, steadily. Your honesty is a lantern in the dark. You follow what stirs your spirit, not what wins approval. Joy is your compass now. You approach life like water fluid, soft, but strong enough to carve stone. You release the illusion of control, not in surrender, but in trust. You are not meant to hold the wind. You let life unfold its petals in time. And you, patient and grounded, simply bloom alongside it.

The goal is to make each fictional ethnic group easily identifiable without giving them a color scheme or assigning physical features to them.

Notes on Freeform locs

(based on things I had to add or change to make them look right)

Starter(left) vs Junior (right)

At the 1st stage of locs, coils intertwine forming the starter locs (or the closest thing freeforms have to them.) They are weightless, very soft and will continue to form indefinitely wherever breakage happens

When the loc begins to mature it will become more condensed, heavier, and will begin to hang down instead of standing up. The speed this happens in depends on the hair type

Personality

As the locs grow, some may "marry" or become the same loc. This will cause a thick loc at the base with "fringes" on the end. These fringes will eventually break off of a thick loc and leave a more uniformly shaped loc. This can take up to a decade.

A smaller loc may marry a larger loc because it is too thin and fragile, especially if it has a thicker end. In that case the thinner loc may disappear completely into it's neighbor and the thick part will remain separate, creating a "lobster claw" or a tiny loc sticking out of the side of a larger one. With freeforms, this is common and can appear anywhere down the shaft of the loc rather than just near the ends (as is the case with manicured locs.)

A lot of people have a favorite loc. Sometimes they grab, feel or squeeze the loc so much that they change the shape of the loc. Some people create thumbprints, like the loc above on the right , a flat squished area created by rubbing up and down the loc. Others make thin spots in the loc but rubbing left and right.

Flat locs

Are dense in the center and have a thick round base just before they reach unlocd newgrowth.

They're caused by styling wearing ponytails and headbands while freeforming. Once they're flat, they'll grow out that way on their own.

If you can draw a ribbon, you can draw a flat loc. They are just a bit stiffer though.

The ends can either be rounded or flat

Flat ends:

Usually happen when fringes break off. This sometimes leaves a coil, or a few coils where the tips broke off

Fun fact: Everyone in my immediate family besides my youngest brother has had freeforms at least once.
