I Dont Consider Myself A 'fashion Guru' By Any Means But One Thing I Will Say Is Guys You Dont Need To

I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don't put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.

HEY ARTISTS!

2022 EDIT - This website is actually not super great for anything prior to the 20th century (admittedly i was not familiar enough with older eras to tell the difference, my expertise is all in the last 100 years and the 20th century costumes from this website legitimately are pretty close to what they’re supposed to be) as the costumes are meant to be recognized on the stage by everyday folk, NOT to actual historians.

If y’all want some Actually Good historical fashion references, please check out shoomlah’s blog! They have a lot of really good, accurate historical fashion references, such as this masterpost. There are also a lot of blogs out there dedicated to historical fashion, like @lookingbackatfashionhistory​ ! You can also check out online archives of fashion museums, and that all is just the tip of the iceberg. The rest of this post is going under a read-more, do not trust anything beyond this point 🥴 250k notes and five years later it’s about time i set the record straight for the silly shit i posted as a teen before i had more knowledge on fashion history. It is actually a very fun topic to explore so I hope those NEW links will be very helpful to you character designers out there!

STIPPLE BEAST EVOLVED | Brush Pack by TOMB of NULL

Stipple brushes for Procreate, Krita, and Clip Studio Paint

This suite of brushes are designed to create gritty, crunchy, bold illustrations by utilizing toothy liners, stipplers, grimy texture stamps, and jittery coloring brushes, with a bonus texture overlay thrown in to bring it all together.

Brushes are inspired by various tattoo needle configurations, inking pens, and spray paints. The goal is to give your digital artwork a tangible quality to them.

Writing Advice: it doesn’t matter if an idea has been done before. It’s never been done by you. So long as you do it well, and in your own way, it’s a wonderful contribution.

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

All the leg muscles and feet studies I did to level up my anatomy drawing. It all started 17 months ago as part of an art challenge I started on my Youtube channel and it's finally done!

Kinda in love with the idea that different places on other sides of the world can look so similar. Something something universal human experiences

Here’s a thing I see a ton of people mess up, even Studio Ghibli. Hopefully this is an easy graphic you can pull up to help out.
