BRUSHTOBER // self portrait
Added 2020-10-08 10:12:05 +0000 UTCDiving deeper into the ink wash & ecoline for #brushtober! I found a box of ecoline inks from my art school years and discovered that they still work after 15 years, so I used some of them for this drawing!
It’s a self portrait, showing what my hair used to look like before the pandemic hit. I miss having blonde tips, but I’ve decided to wait until the pandemic is over to get my hair dyed again. So for now, this hairstyle is a distant memory which can only be re-lived through art 😂 still getting used to 'painting' rather than 'drawing' for this challenge, hope I find my flow!

2020-10-10 10:14:06 +0000 UTCi'm definitely gonna wait til a hairdresser can do it. my hair is naturally super dark and hard to bleach right, and i don't trust myself to do it haha

2020-10-08 16:42:41 +0000 UTCah this is so cool! I love that you used dark ink for the line work, looks really awesome! And I feel you on the quarantine hair..not so much the dye, but I haven't had a haircut in 8 months -_-

2020-10-08 11:23:39 +0000 UTCBeautiful! I love the hair - it can be hard to get a fade to look right, especially in traditional, without making the hair look too flat, or conversely too piece-y. If you were doing your whole head blonde I'd say just do it at home - I recommend Wella bleach, it's super gentle and works very fast - but for doing faded tips that might be better to wait for a hairdresser unless you're already experienced with doing it alone xD
