hi! i love your art so much! i'm super super new to art, never really done it at all, but The Brainrot has led me to wanting to learn. i think where i usually mess up is the hair. how in gods name do ppl draw hair?? if you could post one of your art tips & tutorials on how to draw hair (maybe step by step) i'd be eternally grateful. thank you!

hello! yes. SO since we are just doing hair ill go for shorter hair bc its what i draw most often.

i dont usually draw the scalp/bald head anymore esp for headshots but we will use it to explain. to start, i use a thicker brush for hair lines and press lightly. it gives me more felxibility.

step one i define where the hair splits. MOST hair has a part or a split, even if its only at the front. i sometimes draw more bowlcut/justin bieber bang front pieces but not ofteneeee

this seam helps me with the direction of my hair chunks. i usually mess it up or obscure it later, but for starting out it is helpful.ee

then i define the outer shape/silhouette. keep in mind: hair sticks up a LOT from the scalp usually. so if you have that bald head guideline, poof out. this pattern i show on the side of out/in/out etc works for a lot of hair textures if you amp up the curves, but not all so experiment and dont give everyone the same texture.

from here i add a few lines to the inside but NOT TOO MANY. think of CHUNKS, not strands. also as with the rest of my art, i dont close or clean my lines a lot. i erase the scalp line if i had one before i do this, as it will mess up the flow

and then i colour and define a lot of shapes that way! dont forget sideburn area, roots, and that hair casts shadows! Hope that helps! :] <3

Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers 💪🎨✍🎮

If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!

Start with hands up, fingers stretched out.  Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.

Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.

Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times

Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

DeviantArt used to be the place I put new poses up three times a week. It was the best place to get consistent updates of new poses from me.

BUT NOW! I have a self-hosted gallery on AdorkaStock.com 🥰 It's a WIP (and there's a lot of work to do) but I like having my poses on my own site. 😌

You can sign up for my newsletter and get an email digest of new poses each week or once a month so you don't have to always remember to go check for what's new. My long term goal is to have this gallery completely replace my DA archive. Reasons for this move include: - DA's enthusiastic support for AI - DA removing categories making it nearly impossible to search for CC licensed images - not being beholden to DA's future random TOS and API changes

Your support helps with this goal. ♥ Ways to support: - Share my work with other artists! - Support me on Patreon for just $1/mo - Shop my Kofi store for pose ref packs and merch Get all my links at my Link Hub. 🥰 Thanks so much for your support and happy drawing!

I tend to draw everything with the same soft pillow-like texture, so painting different surfaces is important practice for me ~ If you want to learn more about how I do this, check out my tutorial on painting different surfaces over on patreon!

I spy, with my little eye, a photo that was faked by an AI image generator! Can you spot the clues?

FB is turning into a parade of fake AI images churned out by click-farming pages. More misinformation is on the way. Learn some tricks for spotting AI photos!
