one thing i noticed (form personal experience and by observing other artists) is that the longer you draw and create, the more boring it gets to simply replicate references, especially when it comes to characers' fashion choices.

with bnha, i keep mine pretty simple and basic because teens ARE very trend-loyal, but mainly im just lazy lol, but when i AM motivated, i love to think about characters' personal style, what could influence them, but also more trivial things such as budget into account, which is why i love to draw Deku in basic tees or clothes provided by his school (while bakugo gets to wear ed hardy and shoto wears arcteryx). i also love to limit the items like its just more realistic to me when someone as ordinary as deku wears the same 5 crewnecks all the time

which brings me to my actual point, namely that the more frequently you draw, the more you learn to do research andto combine your findings into sth new rather than staying faithful to one reference, and i think that's what makes good art so good, being able to draw inspiratioin from all kinds of niches and creating something that feels very authentic and suspends the spectator's disbelief. sometimes i see art and i know exactly which fashion editorial or which kpop idol was referenced, and I'm not insinuating these are bad things i do that too (less frequently now but i sure did!), my point is it's kind of nice to see how ALL artist start out with rather derivative art but eventually move on to create more authentic art that is less about drawing beautiful and perfect people and more about trying to individualize them and that ALSO means giving them weird clothes, scars, asymmetric eyes, a receding hairline etc. like drawing the same beautiful character 200 times gets so boring and it's just more fun to try and make them a bit more human

#i do have a lot of fashion headcanons but i rarely actually draw like that im so lazy #and again im also still stikcing to references and sometimes pretty closely #but this is an observation that i like to think about #as i said i just love artists that draw from a big and diverse source of references and inspirations #and the same applies to other forms of art as well ofc #just because you enjoy one genre and want to write in that genre doesnt mean you should limit your knowledge and inspiration to that genre #its pretty detrimental like you have to read ALL kinds of things #otherwise it's hard NOT to create a derivative work #and you see that with a lot of mangas #like you can kinda tell which battle shonen mangkas are only into other battle shonen and which ones are well read overall #SORRY #or when people who only read fics write their first original story and its an apposition of tropes #my point is its important to dabble in all kinds of niches #dont aim for perfect skills in one niche i think its more fun and beneficial to give everything a try

How To Dress Like A Shoujo Girl

since spring is here i thought i’d do a little guide on outfit inspo for shoujo girl spring. this may be a little long and i plan on (if this does ok) making this a series on my blog 🫶🏻

this post will be split into sections based on top half, bottom half, dresses and accessories, i hope you enjoy!

Top Half

in terms of tops you want to look for items that have a lot of frill, floral and lace details. Blouses, vests and camis are a must, as these items have a romantic feel to them. Cardigans and knitwear are also a good add on for layering as they have a warm and cozy feeling to them while being both cute and practical. Tops with collar details are also a good idea as they recreate the preppiness of many shoujos.

Here are a couple pieces i think really fit the vibe.

Bottom Half

On your bottom half i would recommend mostly wearing skirts, but i will be giving options for jeans and shorts. Layered/ruffled skirts should become a key item of your outfit, whether that is maxi or mini and once again stick with floral patterns, lace or frills. If you want to wear shorts or jeans i would recommend going for something with details on them, either ruffled shorts or jeans with embellishments. A dress/long top layered over the jeans would be very adorable too!!

Dresses

For dresses i will keep this part pretty short as a lot of the details are things I've brought up already. In terms of dress style i would recommend a lot of cutesy sundresses, babydoll dresses and maxi dresses, as long as its cute and flowy it will work.

Accessories

For accessories you can add as many or as little as you feel. I think the things you see most are bows, pearls and flowers but anything cutesy works. Bags are also a key thing with most shoujo girls either having a mini backpack or a small handbag, once again though whatever you feel works best for you. Leg warmers are also something i would recommend, as they are a simple way of elevating any outfit to become more cutesy.

Some places i would recommend buying from if you're into this style is Peiliee Shop, Vinted, Urban Outfitters or H&M. The best places to get inspiration for this style are Pinterest, your fav anime girls and fruits magazine.

if anyone has any questions or anything they want to add feel free to comment below.

See you soon! - mimi °ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°

Love the character notes. Organdy is essentially organza, but made of cotton. Sadly haven't been able to find any cute organdy pieces of clothing ( seems less common as we annoyingly move more and more to synthetic fabrics.)

The notes about chibiusa vs black ladies eyes are especially interesting. Really sells how completely devoid of hope Black Lady is. Its most telling to see Wiseman's work at twisting Chibiusa's sadness and loneliness reflected in her eyes

I think one of the things I love the most about Haikyuu is that even though the whole manga comes from a place of love from Furudate who created the story specifically to get people into volleyball, there is nothing to make you feel bad about not wanting to play anymore

There are characters who are completely obsessed with volleyball. There are characters who aren't obsessed but are interested enough to keep going. There are characters who weren't into it but did it anyway and then just couldn't stop. There are characters who started doing volleyball and then realized they didn't like it anymore, then left and were better for it. There are characters who are like "this was cool and it was nice but I don't want to do this forever". There are characters who never play but still support the teams anyway

And the story validates every single one of these experiences. There's no "this experience is better than that experience", there are just characters who like it, don't like it, are obsessed with it or can appreciate everything that happens in a game regardless of their feelings towards it

It's just really nice to go through the story and feel the whole acceptance through the writing itself, to see that Furudate is encouraging you to try volleyball, to experience how fun it can be, and if it's not fun for you or you fell out of love with it or just don't want to do it anymore, then that's fine! At least you experienced it! At least you tried! At least you learned something about yourself! And hopefully you made friends along the way!

Haikyuu inspires people to try something new but never does it show a characters negative feelings or lack of feelings towards it as invalid and wrong. It just encourages you to do what makes you happy. I really appreciate that
