a head empty thought that spiraled ;;

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 

Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.

Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!

Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)

If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 

Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.

Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.

OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

When they said it might sing, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

I think my dinner is possessed.

disney channel did not debut its first sapphic couple between two main characters in a children’s cartoon.

dana terrace did.

cartoon network did not give us the first wlw wedding in a children’s animated tv show.

rebecca sugar did.

cartoon network didn’t make bubbline canon.

adam muto did.

nickelodeon isn’t responsible for korrasami, it’s first ever wlw couple.

bryan konietzko and michael dante dimartino are.

do not let these corporations take credit for something that LGBTQ+ creators fought and took risks to get where they got. especially when said corporations made these people fight tooth and nail and take the risk of their shows being canceled altogether.

dana terrace, rebecca sugar, adam muto, bryan konietzko, michael dante dimartino, and every other creator that fought for then representation we deserve. thank you. your efforts are not unappreciated.

like i hate how i was born in a cringe fail society where i have to work at poverty wages to put money into a greedy landlord’s pockets and pay stupid bills but in order to find work, i have to go thru multiple hoops just to find work. and it’s made difficult on purpose. like you’re telling me i can’t work this position because you guys are too lazy to accommodate my disabilities??? like i got fired from fucking home depot because they said they couldn’t accommodate my disabilities (i have terrible chronic pain from getting hit by a car last year) because they wanted to be fair to everyone and that it was a warehouse environment (i was a cashier ffs) but had a lady with a cane working at self checkout.

i’ll admit i get fired from my jobs a lot because i’m mentally ill and i do have behavioral issues. i think i’m blacklisted from many companies because i have "bad behavior" so it’s like. difficult for me to even find work in the first place. and of course many of the situations where i showed such behavior is because some asskisser would tattle on me about the dumbest shit or even lie on me. it’s not like i was an insubordinate coworker, i work very hard. or at least i try to but somehow it’s not enough. it’s like i have to be the managers right wing whore or i’m a bad associate. i’m tired of this cycle, i legit want to kms
