Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
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!

Just released an overhaul of an older brush pack of mine, now with Procreate support. Been working on this for a while, so I'm pretty happy to see it all come together. :D
Get it on my itch.io page!
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.

all the tips I found for drawing a fantasy map are like :) “here’s a strategy to draw the land masses! here’s how to plot islands!” :) and that’s wonderful and I love them all but ??? how? do y'all decide where to put cities/mountains/forests/towns I have my map and my land but I’m throwing darts to decide where the Main Citadel where the Action Takes Place is
All the arms and hands studies and practices I did to level up my anatomy drawing.
