randomly dropping all my Art Fight attacks in two batches two weeks after it ended because I forget to share art and also I'm lazy and also the only thing I that really motivates me to post on public social sites is wanting to spread my Draw Old People propaganda to a wider audience

Kind of forgot to make an Art Fight thread so I'll start it under here, thing is my first attack was on "Male Pattern Baldness" in which case we were invited to draw our own oc balding. So this is my character David as prompted by AF user aerospaze

An anthro rabbit sitting and reading a book. With his head bowed, you can see that his hairline is receded and that he has a bald spot in his hair.

Of course, we can’t forget the other examples, like Junior from the 60’s, his adopted daughter Edwina from the 2000’s, and Pado from the 2010’s, as well as Plas generally loving kids and wanting to be a father, from all the way back in the 40’s!

visible: drawing the picture invisible: research! with retro art styles, learning just who you’re imitating and what inspired them helps so much. and beyond individual artists, things like material restraints and social movements also have a lot of impact… i ❤️ historical context

I've been thinking a lot about visible vs invisible skill layers. i.e every craft has outer layers of skills that laypeople can recognise, and inner layers that you need expertise and experience to perceive at all. Could y'all think of examples of visible vs invisible skills in your own discipline?
