I promised myself I was going to take a break to rest my hurt hand. 10 minutes I said. It’ll be a simple warm up I said… Then I got carried away and super inspired by MeoMai’s art style which made me want to learn to draw hair better. And so… I have the head base of this saved to draw more hair styles for X’issi, which was my original plan for today, but after drawing her “natural/everyday” hairstyle… well, this happened.
Which also lead me to rethink and redesign X’issi’s sun paints. The lip and eye paint is optional and is a sign of being a priestess in X’issi’s tribe. So its not something that she wears every day. However, the neck and body paints are a daily thing for her.
So now my hand is throbbing… but at least I’m proud of my art today? Oi…
