i love your april SO MUCH 💛💛 do you have tips on drawing her???

ditzyblues answered:

thank you!! and im not entirely sure what that entails, but i'll try my best :D

i stray a bit far from canon april, mostly in the way i draw her hairstyles, outfits, and body type (the last is just to suit my style, its not a big translation IMO)

FACIAL FEATURES:

there's a few touchstones im always thinking about when i'm sketching her face out:

  • how wide her nose is (very important that the edges are past the inner corner of her eyes in most angles)
  • how full her lips are
  • how thick her eyebrows are (so they don't have to compete with her glasses)
  • roundness/heartshape to her face

even with all these features in mind, the way she looks can vary. i'm just always making sure these things are accurate, since most are key to depicting her ethnicity, even in the highly stylized show.

i'm also always checking for the relationship between her eye-whites and skin tone, because if its off, i'd be veering away from representing her deep brown skin accurately.

this very important to be mindful of!! and very easy to check and fix! if you're unsure, find a screenshot with a similar lighting scenario and check the values in black and white.

HAIR TEXTURE:

im always aiming for depicting coils, never curls, since i believe that's the hair type being shown in the show.

there's a lot of ways coils can look, but usually, keeping volume and staying away from single strands works. i wasn't always mindful of this tho (example below) and still am very capable of loosening it, even if it's subconscious. this is almost ALWAYS a simple fix as well.

i've see a lot of art of her hair in particular being very loose. like 2b/2c. guys.

and this problem is hardly addressed!! so i am here to recommend finding references for 4b/4c hair, refs are never bad.

MISC NOTES OF VARYING IMPORTANCE:

  • her skin is cool toned in most palettes in the show, so i stick with cooler skin for her (tho i mostly use warm palettes so it does get lost)
  • her red glasses usually salvage her recognizability (i know this because i draw her in different outfits/hairstyles all the time)
  • ^^ green and yellow in her clothes does too.

i hope this helps :D, thank u again! im glad someone's asking. maybe this means more April art will be put into the world.

Guys PLEASE push Mohammed Ayesh’s fundraiser like I am actually imploring. He has done so much for so many Palestinian families, and yet the traction for his campaign dies so fast. He’s literally just a 20 something year old guy who’s going above and beyond to make sure all Palestinian families are being verified and helped. Please don’t abandon him so fast when he is suffering the same as everyone else. Please keep your eye on his campaign and take it upon yourself so share it again & again every time it seems like it needs a defibrillator

Emphasis on adopting his campaign & posting routinely for him bc not many people are and his campaign is incredibly slow…… he has been fundraising for months & money vanishes fast given the insanely hiked prices so please keep him in your thoughts & rb & donate to his fundraiser regularly

without exaggeration there’s only been less than £100 donated for the past 24 hours. only 5 donations in the past 12 hours. £28,160 / £30,000 short term goal. Please help his family raise £340 to get to 28.5k ASAP.

Central Gaza has been one of the main targets of assault and carpet bombing in the past few days. Funds that Mohammed can set aside could help the family have resources to escape their unsafe neighborhood if the situation continues to escalate. This is an important survival fund, which they currently have none
