I feel stupid for asking this so im using anon, but how do you draw the hijab? Whenever I try it looks like an egg www
also, Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah bless you
Don’t feel stupid for asking! Drawing is hard no matter what you’re drawing, so don’t be afraid to ask for help^^ But honestly even I feel like the best of my hijabis look a little egg-like, and that’s okay!
This tutorial is already taking so goddamn long, so I’m just gonna link my coloring and shading tutorial I did a month ago 😭😭
Gosh, I hope what I wrote made sense 😅 But thank you so much for the well wishes! Happy Ramadan (Eid Mubarak at this point WAHHH), and the same to you, may you and your loved ones have many blessings!!

Kinda of a rant thing about aph/hws Native America ocs
So I just want to start off with, I’m not an indigenous person nor am I an expert. I am always learning (so like if I’m wrong correct me), but I do know that making just one oc to represent well over 500+ tribes in the North American continent is well…in poor taste to put it light. I know people have discussed this in the past, but I still see this. So I want to make this kinda of a quick an easy type of guide-ish?
1. “But they’re like the ancients? So that’s why they should Canada & America’s parent figure.”
No, indigenous people and their tribes still exist with an identity and a culture unlike let’s say Ancient Rome. You don’t see anyone claiming to be a Roman Empire citizen. That statement also implies that indigenous people don’t exist anymore, which isn’t true…and is a bit racist to say.
So usually I find in the parent figure claim, there’s still usually one oc that represents all of the indigenous people in the Americas- and that’s also an issue because they’re not all the same.
2. “They’re all like the same, so I’m just going to group them all together into one personification.”
No. This is also just ignorant. The Navajo nation is not the same as Mi’kmaq tribe. It’d be like saying Greece and Norway are the same place, or Egypt and South Africa, or Japan and the Philippines. They could be similar, but not the same.
3. “But don’t nations need land to be a nation?”
First of all, I just want to point out that there are nations that are really small and exist such as Liechtenstein. Secondly, Hima has personified a fucking oil platform. Many of these groups have been displaced from their traditional homelands (example: the Lenape people) but they may retain a very small amount of land through reservations (not saying they’re good, but it’s land).
4. “Okay, but what about making headcanoning Alfred/ Matt (or their 2ps & nyos) as indigenous.”
As long as you’re not making them like a substitute for just combining all indigenous tribes together, I don’t believe there’s an issue as long as you’re doing this respectfully. And you choose a certain tribe that’s fine. Also don’t do that thing where they de-melanate that’s…that’s kinda weird.
5. “I drew Alfred/ Matt with eagle feathers / a headdress.”
So from what I understand in plains indigenous cultures eagle feathers and headdresses hold a lot of significance. They are a mark of achievement, like a really great one, and I don’t find drawing canon Alfred/ Matt in one of those appropriate.
I don’t want to believe that anyone has done this out of malice, I just think it comes from a place of ignorance. And we all can grow and learn, there’s nothing wrong with learning (I’m always learning). Also if you have anything else to add on, you may. I just needed to get this off my chest.

I’ve definitely forgotten some character that should be on this list so feel free to tell me who I’m missing (bonus points if you know any of their names lol)
I’ll probably need to make a separate post if/when I add more characters though since this post is already at the limit for links.
