Due to my hyperfixation going nuclear ive decided to make a one piece side blog. So if youve liked my one piece reblogs follow me at @prettyboyusopp because i wont be posting one piece stuff here anymore. I may even post my own fanart there one day. Okay thats all i love you bye <3
I had a rough day. Bartender, one glass of the characters kissing, please
Had a long vivid dream where i was on a bus and i had a sketchbook full of the most kissy sappy sanuso art. I felt like my whole heart was on display and embarrassed about people seeing it so i kept turning the page trying to find a page to leave it open on that felt less personal but it was all sanuso art. Then someone took my sketchbook from my hands and sat down next to me.
It was Sanji (it was a dream so the only thought i had was "shit!!")
He smoked casually as he flipped through the pages of my sketchbook and saw all my drawings of me shipping him with his crewmate.
Then he turned to me and said, coldly
"What do you know about me?
You dont know me, you dont know what would make me happy"
And i felt emotion rise up in me and i told him he may not know me about me but its not like i dont know shit about him
He challenged me "like what?"
I said "Well, youre a cook- A chef, for starters"
At my immidiate correction a tiny smile briefly showed up
I looked down at my lap as i spoke about the pride he takes in his work, the passion he has for cooking, and how he uses it to take care of people, to provide joy and stability for those closest to him.
I looked over at him and it seems the longer id talked the more he looked like id peeled his ribcage open in front of him and showed him his beating heart. He looked wide eyed vulnerable and silent.
I thought to ask and strugged to phrase the question of where he was in his story. I asked "what do you last remember?"
After some silence he stood, looking shaky, and told me. He spoke of an event that never happened in the show, of losing conciousness like a spell was cast on him as he watched a flower on the dining table wilt in front of him, but i knew with certainty it represented the last moment of crew life ending as he was taken away to whole cake island.
I stood and said "oh sanji... im so sorry"
Something in him seemed to break, and i rushed forward and wrapped him in my arms. He clutched back so i squeezed tighter and tighter and stood there holding him for a long time.
Ive never had such a vivid and prolonged hug in a dream. I absently thought how strange we must look to anyone else on the bus, but i was completely certain i cared only for what Sanji needed in that moment.
I woke, in my opinion, too soon. We both needed that hug and i couldve done it a while longer.
Anyways this all to say im offically unsaveably one piece brained, blorbo brained.
I can only cross my fingers next time i get to have a long conversation with Usopp
For those of you that don’t know what 4c hair is, 4c hair is a hair texture type that contains coils to small and tight that the hair appears to be more puffy rather than curly ( like to photo below ) this is in NO WAY to be confused with curly hair. there is a drastic difference.
As a black artist that primarily draws characters with 4c hair, I’ve been asked many times to do a tutorial on 4c hair so here we go~
let’s take a look at this example of straight hair vs curly hair ( 1 type straight hair vs 3 type curly hair )
If you take a moment to compare the two you’ll notice straight hair is flat, it has no texture. Straight hair perfectly hangs down similar to liquid-like silk. It’s lack of curl pattern is the reason as to why it hangs perfectly flat.
curly hair on the other hand doesn’t lie down flat and silky like straight hair, It’s more thick. Curly hair in it’s raw and unstyled state has a trapezoid like shape this is because the sides of the hair spread more outward.
the answer to that question is a thing called piling up. When it comes to hair texture, the shape of the hair strands aren’t the only thing that matters, its how the strands coexist with each other, Curly hair strands coexist by piling up on top each other.
moisture also effects hair texture too, different hair types absorbs moisture differently, thus the thickness of each hair type is different.
Well let’s take a look at the drawing below. Notice how the arrows go outward more as the hair texture gets curlier. As we’ve already discussed, this is because hair piles up, The curlier the hair texture, the more it piles up on each other, the bigger it gets, the more outward the arrows go.
Out of any hair texture, 4C hair has the most curls. Because of this, the hair piles up on each other so much that it doesn’t lie down flat like straight hair, nor does it make a trapezoid like shape like curly hair, it instead becomes more cloud like.❤️
Think of it as piling up a bunch of cotton balls on each other. The most cotton on top of top to lead to a bigger patch of cotton. this is 4c hair.
Garnet fanart. Let’s talk about Garnet Fanart. I notice a trend that when artists draw Garnet from Steven universe, her hair texture is usually changed to 3 type curly like texture. This subtle form of White washing has confused me because this is inaccurate.
Garnet’s hair is in the shape of a cube. Though 3 type hair piles up on each other, it isn’t curly nor thick enough for their hair to stay in the shape of a cube. Curly hair lies down more than 4c hair. So garnet’s hair being in the shape of a cube is a dead giveaway that it is 4C. Why do you think hairstyles like flat tops are usually seen on black men with 4c hair? It’s because, the 4c hair texture is thick and strong enough to stay in whatever shape you put it in.
please, if you’re drawing a character with 4c hair, avoid drawing it like curly 3 type hair, this is very anti-black and texturist.
honestly, its the most easy thing in the world
i wanna clarify that blobby looking 4c drawings ( like the one on the top left ) can work depending on how cartoony your art style is.
Another thing that I want to greatly clarify when it comes to drawing 4C hair is, YOU. DONT. NEED. TO. DRAW. EVERY. HAIR. STRAND!…..like, seriously. I’ve gotten many messages about how 4C hair is hard to draw, and it’s always left me confused; but then I find out that the same people that have trouble drawing 4C hair, attempt to draw every single strand of hair. This is unnecessarily time consuming because it’s merely impossible to get every single detail down, especially when you have a simple cartoon style. 4C hair does not require much effort, all you’re doing is drawing lumps. It’s that simple, nothing more nor nothing less.
The reason why I greatly advise all of you to avoid drawing every single hair strand is because in real life, when you look at a 4C textured Afro, your eyes don’t pick up on each individual hair strand like straight or curly hair. 4C hair, appears to be more undefined and cloud like, so attempting to draw each and every individual strand is unnecessary and will most likely end up looking inaccurate.
im so weak for him
Usopp IS a pretty boy and you’re so incredibly right for saying so
First ask recieved on the sideblog and its a banger, framing this up on my wall ❤️
You look at this boy and tell me he isn't pretty
SANJI ONE PIECE | WATER 7 EP. 252
(Click the pictures for better views)
Some drawing requests I did for my birthday!
Just spent 20 mims struggling to draw the other eye on a 3 quarters angle just to realize im drawing sanji and the other eye is literally gonna be hidden by his hair 😓
they’re filler episodes TO YOU. to me they’re little windows through which i watch my favorite characters make the stupidest decisions imaginable
okay but why do people not think bighorn sheep sanji is sexy. as a furry i appreciate one piece fans being encouraged to draw furry art because thats great, and i love looking at it, but the new artists to drawing furries keep making him a fox because its more popular and people are afraid?
sheep sanji is prettier, you have the tension of him being a prey animal which works with his character. he's cuter. i might be biased because i especially like deer/sheep/horse furry designs. im right though.
look at him. you'd deny him?
Magical girl sanji!!
(I just wanted to play dress up)
40 years old Sanji has accepted Kamabakka Kingdom's fashion choices, and his husband is very happy to see that😍 In my design, after Zoro gives one of his earrings to Sanji, Sanji gives Zoro a blue earring to make it three💙
usopp in my clothes (again)
messy animation but i couldn’t get this trend out of my head
