Afro Pup

i am oh so very proud of how these sketches came out ! so, originally i was high af when i drew theses pencil sketches. which is funny, cause at the time i believed that tai lung with the heart bubble (♥️) was my best lol i was trying to master this chibi style i had while maintaining core identifying characteristics of whoever i was drawing. anyway, i love these 2 in general, but i think you can tell who i love more based on how well i drew them (it’s tigress, especially in the top right corner 🫶)

🌻 random info about why i drew these two:

so, 2018 i was searching up tigress gifs on tumblr cause i’m a drooling slut for physically strong women as characters and stumbled on taigress (specifically “where she sleeps” by cruciferousjex.) and i was like mad confused cause i’m wondering “what’s even the appeal ???”

🚨 spoiler alert: they fit the ✨enemies to lovers✨ archetype. a favorite of mine uwu

fast forward to now, i’ve been on this reading kick and decided to revisit a taigress fanfic i wrote back in 2020. which gave me a creativity boost to work on the story and to revisit this face study i did in 2018. hope i did them justice !

tl;dr
