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 was giving CPR to a friend whose head me and my friends could not find.

Like, she was a body without a head, but it looked like the head was never there to begin with.

Still, we knew it was supposed to be there so we kept on searching for it so we could reattach it, with no luck.

We looked for it everywhere in the sand.

It took me like 30 minutes to realize my mouth-to-mouth was not working since there was no mouth on the other side.

We never did find the head, but I did manage to restart my friend's heart.

I was weirdly blasé about it all.

It was not gorey at all, just unsettling.
