Ref Recs For Whump Writers

I know this is a little late but I want @somerandomdudelmao to know that I am still absolutely REELING over this specific update and I won't be okay until I get the comfort/happy ending you promised

So I was rewatching rottmnt again (because I'm stuck in a hyper fixation pit) and noticed something I hadn't realized before.

Raph and Leo are both holding up their weight reasonably with both hands and feet. This obviously makes sense

BUT HOW IN THE WORLD IS DONNIE STICKING TO THE SIDE OF THE WALL???

LIKE????

DUDE JUST BECAME SPIDERMAN FOR A QUICK SECOND???

WHAT???

This is an old one but I started thinking about what if April ever had to move out of New York whether it be for work, college, etc….the boys would not be able to handle it💔

Semifinals

Soo my bestie @hersheyotaku made this AMAZING edit on Youtube of the Megamind trailer with Rise Characters

Check it out here:

And she asked if she could use my old Megamind art for the thumbnail and I said absolutely not I can draw something better lmaoo And here we are, I like how it turned out

Married on the battlefield and you won't change my mind!!

I did think about Draxum officiating their marriage, but he isn't really much attached to humans traditions. And Donnie isn't as close to Hueso like Leo is (for y'know, pirates of the caribean ref XD).

Tho it maybeh would have been funnier if it was Warren and Hypno, I can imagine them being closer to the couple in the future, especially April; since she is great fan of Warren XDD

And Leo is their Leader, probably the highest authority they have at the moment. They do with what they have XDD

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
