random but rewatched this tangled song to take notes on how to draw golden hair (for prince jesse ofc🤧) and it p much confirms what I thought before... the look of shininess is created when there's lots of contrast...

u can see in these stills her hair is not just a medium yellow/blonde the entire time but has (fairly big!) areas of dark brown as well as super bright highlights when in direct light... im gonna make a note to be more liberal with the darker sections when drawing golden blonde hair🤔 bc we(or at least I) normally just think of blonde hair as being yellow so we might not consider there to also be dark brown in it...

#srry IM NOT A PRO GIVING ART ADVICE just rambling abt my observations... mumble mumble #actually normally id do this on my priv twit but lately i find myself using tumblr more #O ACTUALLY WAIT. the reason why im doing this in the first place tho #someone.. actually several ppl... complimented how shiny i make jesse's hair look #and im like!! thank u!! and wanted to explain how i did it (which is v simple i just added areas of high contrast KFJSJ) #but i wanted to look at how more pro artists did it bc thatd be a better demonstration #as well as learn how to draw it better myself... #🤔🤔... hmm... i think i can still lvl up how i draw it #but the way ive been drawing it is a v easy shortcut LFJDK #i have more to say but ran out of space for images so posting this first #o btw i was watching the jp dub of the song bc thats my fav rapunzel voice BWAHA
