a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

Alright, can I just... Say something? Can we talk about the erasure of non-Eastern asians in fanfics? I'm not kidding, they're actively erased.

When fanfic writers are describing asian readers it's always distinctly eastern asian traits. Small noses. V shaped faces. Pale skin?? Those are all HEAVILY tied with japan and korea EXCLUSIVELY. Chinese, Iranian, Indian and Indonesian people don't identify with these traits. At all.

You don't get to say "reader is asian" and then give the reader distinctly eastern asian features. You're not only saying you view all asians looking like the japan/korea standard of beauty, but that japan and korea are the only ones who come to mind.

SMAUs especially. I like the aesthetic photos y'all post for instagrams. It's cute. But something that really ticks me off is when you say "here's what reader looks like for reference!" And then this is it

Like. You're targeting an EXTREMELY specific group of Asians. Chinese people arent gonna look and go wow this looks like me! Indonesians aren't. Filipinos aren't.

If you're gonna cater to only Japanese/Korean readers then say so. I'm tired of opening up a fanfic and seeing only the beauty standard and traits of those two ethnicities.

I don't have a v shaped face. I have a square and strong jaw. Not all asians have a v shaped face.

I'm not pale. Not all asians are pale.

And yes, you describing only Japanese and Korean features as the sole asian look is actively erasing other asian ethnicities. You're not doing it on purpose, but youre setting the standard that that's what a majority of Asians look like. It's not.

If your fanfic caters only to the looks of japanese and korean people just say so at the start instead of leading a bunch of people on.
