I have created some brushes in Procreate in order to have a more accurate representation of our hair. I’m not the first person to do this obviously but I do think it’s important for people like me who have trouble with a lot of detail. It’s hard for me to see, so I created these brushes to use as a base for hairstyles.The hairstyle accessory brushes came to me as an idea before starting Blacktober 2021. I noticed that there’s not a lot of representation in the brush world for Black hair, or how to make brushes that accurately depict Black hair. So I set out on the task of hyper-fixating for three days and now here they are lol.

I decided to do a self-assigned study that I worked on last week in order to stop complaining about my “lack of skill” lol. Right now, I am following Week 1 of Larissa Marantz’s “Drawing for Animators and Illustrators” class (shout-out to OC Art Studios!). The goal was to work on contour and perspective, which are some of the main subjects I struggle with.
