(For Elly because she’s such an awesome person ;; <333)

Ishimaru Kiyotaka’s Character Evaluation (Dangan Ronpa Reload book, page 65)

Respecting order and public morals, unforgiving to even trivial violations of rules. Ishimaru, an honorable, hot-blooded man who’s strict with himself as well as with others, is also kept at a distance by his friends?!

Naegi Makoto: He kept getting angry at me…

Togami Byakuya: Someone tell him to shut up.

Oowada Mondo: It’s a man’s promise!

Kuwata Leon: Cafeteria meeting. How dull…

Yamada Hifumi: You’ll have a pure/noble relationship with Boo-ko!

Hagakure Yasuhiro: I’m weak of mornings… (<– In the context of ‘waking up early’)

Monokuma: You’re too stubborn!

Fujisaki Chihiro: U… I’m scared…

Enoshima Junko (Mukuro): He’s SO noisy!

Celestia Ludenberg: He’s a walking set of school rules.

Oogami Sakura: He’s a true Japanese male.

Fukawa Touko: L-Leave me alone.

Asahina Aoi: He lacks flexibility.

Kirigiri Kyouko: …Do as you like.

Maizono Sayaka: He’s great! (<– She means 'great for the things he does’.)

Ok, ok, but the way Simon misremembers this moment

and the way he says 'goodbye brain' right before this so it makes it seem like that was going to be his last thought

and and the way it's what gives him the final push he needs to finally summon golbetty

---------------------------

Scene in question

How do you draw Abodes Dreads/Braids? I'm a black creator and still (embarrassingly) struggle with them in the arcana style. (And in general XD) the way you draw her is gorgeous. And I must know the magic you poses.

Nothing to be embarrassed for! Unfortunately there's not much reference for black hair in the Arcana, so we all have to guess. I'd highly recommend looking at @kianamaiart and Simkray's hair brushes for other examples of stylising black hair (if anyone has examples of black hair in angular art styles, please share!!)

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Dreads and braids are both segmented styles which makes their basic construction similar, however dreads are stiffer and hang less than braids, which are quite heavy

She usually pulls her hair back so I only have to pay attention to the hairline, but I draw each dread as a somewhat stiff tube. Where it connects to the scalp I feather in short, fine lines for the edges/thin hair that's attached to the skin.

To show the twisted texture of dreads, I add curved lines along each one. For me, this is a good balance of detail for the style (though I can still get tired of lineart -_-)

Then, as a final detail, I give Abosede imperfect ends, topping most dreads off with a thin twist. This is optional as some dreads don't have this.

Then finally, for colour. I take reference for how they render ropes and add a series of light lines along each dread. Dreads don't reflect much light, so these are pretty faint.

For some braided hairstyles, you just replace the tubes I use for dreads with a simple plait pattern (as seen in Lucio's masquerade outfit). If you're aiming for cornrows, instead of the segments, draw the tubes along the scalp with sharp ends. Then fill them with a plait pattern. For extra detail, you can hatch lines in between the cornrows where the hair is pulled into the braid.

Braids have stronger highlights than dreads, and I tend to dot them in the centre of each part.

So this is my basic process. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
