Here's a compilation of the refs I've been using for the tattoos on Blackbeard's right arm, for y'all to use also 💕
yesterday i reblogged a drawing resource that included how to draw hijabs - and it honestly wasn’t the best advice i’ve seen out there
now, i’m not an artist. but what i saw was a video that included hijab styles most of us don’t really wear and incorrect terminology surrounding niqabs and burqas (yes, there is a difference between the two)
so, i went searching and found a tutorial that i felt was better! these drawing guides and examples come from @/winchestermeg on twitter, and i think they’re really great 💕
this has more relevant examples and correct terminologies, and is drawn by a muslim woman
enjoy, artists of tumblr!
