I may be late to this, but I feel like it says a lot about how analog horror is covered at least on Youtube when Angel Hare, which is one of the most hopeful and wholesome analog "horror" series' I've seen, has videos talking about it that look like this:

Like, yeah it has dark elements, but it's not this horrifying dark show that corrupts children. Jonah wasn't manipulated into becoming a serial killer by Gabby, that's a fandom AU not what actually happens.

I may just be overreacting over something minor, but it annoys me that a genuinely fresh and kind take on the "dark children's show" trope where a guardian angel protects a child from their abusive father and comforts them through a TV show is treated almost exactly the same as Generic Spooky Face Jumpscare Tapes #57. It's all about the dark elements that accompany the story, and not the story itself.

Angel Hare actually tells a coherent and complete story about children's entertainment and escapism, which just so happens to have dark elements to it while still being a comforting series. At least acknowledge the story being told, not just the disturbing elements of it for the love of Angel Gabby.

my recipe for drawing hands!

(small note that this is a shortcut that is more abt style and ease than anatomical accuracy. it helps to take time to really properly study hands, makes it easier to bend the rules a bit like this and have it still look good!!)

(learn rules b4 u break them or whatevah)

first slide. top right reads: There are many types of cleft lip. unilateral (on one side), bilateral (on both sides), and complete (self-explanatory), incomplete (self-explanatory), and post-surgery (there is no cleft), no-surgery (there is a cleft). next to it is a photo of Joaquin Phoenix with no facial hair captioned "Joaquin Phoenix has it BTW (unilateral + incomplete)". below that are four drawings captioned "Examples". They're all the same bust sketches but with different mouths and noses. The first one is Unilateral + complete (post surgery). Text box reads "teeth can sometimes be slighly visible, scar present, tip of the nose points downward, if they had surgery you won't be able to tell half the time if you aren't looking for it, easier to tell from the nose than the lip/scar TBH". Next to it is one captioned "unilateral + complete (no surgery). Text reads: "teeth are visible, upper row of teeth goes with the shape of the lip, tip of the nose points other direction". Third one is "bilateral + complete (no surgery). Text reads: "two front teeth visible but they go to the sides, upper lip split into 3 parts: one attached to the columella and two to the outer nostrils, nose and nostrils are wider". the last one is "unilateral + incomplete (no surgery)". text reads: "teeth can sometimes be visible but mostly no, nose can sometimes be flatter + wider on the side of the cleft, doesn't go into the nostril."

fourth slide. it's titled "ok but what else". below that are two busts, one of a person without a cleft lip and the second of a person with a repaired cleft but no visible scar. caption reads "how to draw the subtle differences". text continues "distance between nose and upper lip is shorter, nose more down turned (can be much more than I drew TBH), lip pulls upward below where the cleft was. This way it's still visible even when there's no easy-to-see scar." the two drawings have all these differences color-coded. section below features the same drawings, but this time they show a character with a complete unilateral no-surgery cleft. first one shows the skeleton underneath, second has skin on. text reads "in a no-surgery uni complete cleft lip, think of the rows of teeth not as two horizontal rows but more of a triangle. the upper teeth are parted into 2 sections and they don't meet, but can overlap in the actual cleft spot. they don't go into the nostril BTW." a small note reads "gums are dark red and teeth are blue so you can tell which is which" and the drawing is color coded accordingly.

fifth slide, titled "the chibis the cartoons etc." with a header "(by someone who doesn't really draw in that style I'll do my best though). it shows two chibi drawings - one of a girl with a bilateral no-surgery cleft lip, second of a girl with a unilateral post-surgery one. they each have instructions below. for the first one, it shows a horizontal 3 with an additional bump, captioned "you can do this shape (it's kinda nose shaped?", next step draws two squares to the middle part, captioned "add teeth to the middle part, boom no nose needed." second drawing has its first instruction as "draw a basic smile, don't bother with subtle differences TBH just simpify it", followed by "draw an anime girl fang upside down, remember that the lip follows the shape. you can throw in a scar too."

sixth slide, titled "other types of clefts + things to consider for the character". it features two drawings: one of an East Asian woman with a cleft going from her lower eyelid to the corner of her mouth, and second of a South Asian woman in a headscarf with an indent in the middle of her eyebrow. she also has strabismus and her cleft eyebrow is very wide. they're captioned with cleft type 5 and 10 respectively. a text box reads "these are called Tessier clefts and they're like cleft lips but on different parts of the face. There's 14 of them in total and they can be comorbid with cleft lip and palate." the last section has no drawings and just a text box titled "info that you might find useful: most people with cleft lip worldwide didn't have surgery, most people in wealthy countries get surgery as babies, some people choose to get cosmetic revisions rhinoplasties etc. when they're older (most don't), first cleft lip surgery was in 390 BC, most people with a cleft lip have a cleft palate as well, don't call it a fucking 'hare lip' it's offensive and weird".

tutorial for drawing characters with cleft lip! sorry that it's mostly unilateral-centric but it makes up the vast majority of resources and photos. still tried to get tips for drawing bilateral clefts in though.

please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People : )

if you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me!!
