Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

embroidery from peacockandpinecones my friends and I have been losing our minds over all morning.

Reblog to hug prev poster (they need a hug)

Good lord. Well, here is further reason to please avoid subscribing to artist's patreon pages through the Apple store/iOS since the policy changes (subscriptions made prior to Feb 26th are fortunately unaffected by this).

I am incredibly fortunate in that these $100 that will apparently be held back for over two months do not spell a financial detriment to me at all - but If I were new to the platform, really needed that $100, or the majority of my supporters happened to be iOS users, that could have been a huge issue.

So please, and especially when you go to support small artists that you want to see thrive who opened their patreon accounts recently, go through desktop so that they won't be hit with apple's extra fees and actually receive the funds in a timely fashion!

Unfinished drawing of Eryth, thought I’d post some wips that have been sitting around for a bit

i know we'll reunite one day, up there in the clouds

Enjoy Snake Day tomorrow.

(It's not actually Snake Day. That's, like, in July, I think. It's just St. Patty's Day. So drink. And be nice to snakes. Pat did them dirty.)

Description: An illustration of a green snake against a black background. The snake is coiled around a cluster of four leaf clovers. Though it starts as bright green at the top, it fades into a blue/purple towards the bottom. One deep red eye stares at the audience.
