hey you guys! so i wanted to helped educate everyone on some little known black history. you guys may remember when disney channel did a short special on the clinton 12, because cameron boyce’s grandmother is one them. i decided to do some more research and dig a little deeper to find out more details about the history changing event. 

I made these in response to hate crimes in my community. They are full size and free to download and print if you’d like to use them, too.

ways to support the blm movement

this google doc includes a list of petitions to sign, resources to help educate yourself and others, organizations to donate to, and contacts of law officials to get in touch with to express your support for the george floyd and black lives matter movements. this includes ways to help even if you don’t live in america. please read it and support the movement. 

use your voice. use every platform you have, no matter how big or how small. nothing will change if you just sit there and watch. if you think you’re the exception, you’re not. remaining indifferent will only support the oppressor. do something.

write to your legal representatives. express your support for legislation that would bring justice to the unarmed civilians who’ve been murdered by law enforcement officers. demand for justice. 

call 612-324-4499 ㅡ this is a hotline that will coach you on how to get connected with the people who can arrest the officers that murdered george floyd. 

create serious conversation. stop demeaning people who disagree with your philosophies on how to overcome. it is useless and no better than the practices of the oppressor to silence. we need to listen to each other with respect and really consider how we can combine our perspectives to create practical change. 

please feel free to add any links or resources or information that you think will be helpful and also reblog to spread awareness. the systems we are fighting against were literally created to oppress marginalized communities and therefore will not go down without a fight. we need to collectively stand up and do something about it. 

👏🏽

It is perfect!

How to Draw Black people is an interactive learning tool for artists looking to improve their understanding of Black culture and design methods for Black characters.

Learn how to take a cultural approach to character design and navigate the mores of Black culture. Build Black characters from the ground up, while avoiding tired and hurtful cliches. How to Draw Black People shows artists new techniques for rendering dark skin, drawing Afrocentric faces, and breaking through gender norms. With a digital component that includes brushes made specifically for African hair types and a library of sample files to practice on, How to Draw Black People is an essential resource for improving Black character designs in all media formats. Step by step tutorials and challenging activities centered on Black hair, skin tone, facial anatomy and so much more.

How to Draw Black People fills a void that is missing in art instruction by realigning character design with culture, instead of tropes.
