This is Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1 on IG), she's a young journalist who's been documenting the daily life in Gaza, Palestine since before October of last year and continues to do so now, as her and her family have been displaced by Israel, her home and workplace destroyed in the bombings. If you don't already follow her, I highly suggest to do so, as she takes interviews from the local people in the refugee camps and provides a fantastic insight into Palestinians as a nation, their culture and the horrors they face under the Israeli apartheid regime in their own land.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

i'm so blown away by how you drew frenchie’s hair, it looks so textured and soft!? do you have any tips on drawing curly hair? what brushes do you use? your art is seriously amazing!🖤🖤🖤
Thank you! And I don’t really have any specific method, my approach has always sort of just been to draw what’s in the reference and hope for the best, lol. If it helps, I can give you a step by step of one of my Frenchie drawings:
1. I put down the base color and some splotches indicating shadow (don’t be dumb like me and make the shadow color your base if you try to do this, putting down splotches of highlights would’ve made my life so much easier)
2. I formed the splotches into more cohesive curl shapes, adding some ringlets and stuff. Also some color variations.
3. This is pretty much just the tedious part of drawing little individual curls and stray hairs, which is also not really necessary . The last layer with the lightest hairs on the very tip of each strand really makes it look more three dimensional though imo.
And that's it! (Then draw the rest of the owl)
Not sure how helpful this is, but it’s how I did it. There’s also a step 0 where you sit and stare at the reference for 20 minutes feeling helpless and defeated. Not very productive, but builds character.
As for the brush, I only use one for rendering and it’s some painterly idiot I downloaded in a brush pack years ago and tweaked to death. You can really do this with any brush, just have it set so the opacity is controlled by pressure and maybe toss some fun texture on it if you feel like it. Making your own brushes and understanding the controls in editing them is pretty simple and it will give you more freedom than any brush pack ever could. Good luck!
