Procreate WIP! I’ve redrawn her face a few dozen times and experienced at least one existential crisis, but I’m learning a lot along the way!

#art #digitalart #Procreate #BlackSky
A screenshot of a portrait of a Black woman in the Procreate app. The portrait depicts a Black woman whose face is in slight three-fourths view. She is looking over her shoulder at the viewer with an expression of curiosity. She is wearing a red sweater that is slipping slightly off her shoulder. She has a large afro that is cut off by the cropping.

Redrew a sketch that's nearly 10 years old! I like to think she grew up to have slightly more confidence. :) The original was drawn in Infinite Painter!

I'm on the verge of graduating and haven't had much time to draw (*explodes*), but I randomly remembered this comic and the silly conversation that started it.
#art #procreate #blacksky
A single-panel comic featuring a Black couple (the artist and her husband). The husband is smiling happily, boldly saying "I never had watermelon before college!" The author looks at him with a deadpan expression. Left text: 'From the suburbs/DMV' Right text: 'From the south, Grew up picking wild fruits, Saw watermelon fields regularly'

I recently got a retwist and despite it being my thousandth time doing so, I'm still surprised by how flat my locs get afterward.

#digitalart #Blacksky #procreate
A panel of simple comic featuring the author's sona. The left side looks up with a neutral expression and fluffy locs. The right side, in the same pose, looks up with surprise. The chibi on the right has slightly flatter locs. Left text in orange blob: "Before Retwist: - fluffy - messier in life - in desperate need of TLC" Right text in dark orange: "After Retwist - FLAT! (at first) - much neater! - so much scalp showing! - forehead much more noticeable."
