the "how to draw canes" guide is finished! i'm definitely not an expert, but i do have experience with using a few types of canes so i decided to draw this!! :]

please consider reblogging this! it took a lot of time to draw this and it may help out abled and disabled artists!!

[start id: seven digital drawings against a lined paper background. the first says: "how to draw canes: a how-to guide by venus, a disabled artist" with a drawing of venus, a white curly haired teen with glasses and a drawing of a purple foldable functional cane below. beside venus says "me" with an arrow pointing towards them and beside the cane says "elizabeth, my cane (she's a foldable functional grip".

the second image says: "the main four: there are a few more types than these, but here are the most common!" below is a drawing of a light grey "C" cane, red functional cane, blue offset handle cane, and a mint green quad cane. beside each type of cane is their name.

the third image says: "the 'c' cane: •most simple cane, •only used for slight assistance, •materials: wood, metal, or plastic" with a drawing of a grey "c" cane with two drawings of how to properly grip the cane. below the drawings are the words "hook hand under".

the fourth image says: "functional grip: •similar to 'c', •handle allows better control and support, •used for slightly more assistance than the 'c', •can be foldable, •materials: metal or wood" with a full drawing of a red functional cane with two small drawings of how to grip a functional cane.

the fifth image says: "offset handle: •j-shaped handle, •distributes body weight over the cane's shaft, •great for if you also have wrist problems, •materials: metal (wood??)" with a drawing of blue offset handle cane to the side with two drawings of how to properly grip the cane.

the sixth image says: "quad cane: •rectangle base, •large base = more support, •can stand up on its own, •materials: metal" with a drawing of a mint green quad cane to the side with two drawings of how to properly grip the cane.

the seventh image says: "tips: •get creative! canes can have cool patterns (ex: stripes, floral), •draw the cane in front of the character, not behind, •don't worry if it doesn't look right the first time. i draw canes constantly and they still don't look perfect, •and last but not least, have fun!". at the bottom of the drawing is a stick man smiling and giving a thumbs up. end id.]
