Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. Iโd do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but itโs just too long (which is great because itโs a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while youโre there.
Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didnโt know how much I didnโt know!
This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!
{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, โBlack Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they wonโt make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}
I noticed in the comments that some people canโt see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!
More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit
