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

i should be banned from using bases actually

hooooold on... bases exist. for free. I can use them. like I don't have to make art from scratch 100% of the time every single time I draw. it's okay to just take the easy route sometimes

#I'm thinking this specifically because I'm bad at drawing kissing #but like. with bases.... I could smooch any characters I want 😈#also yes it's like important to learn to draw on my own #but sometimes maybe I just wanna make something and be a little lazy about it yk #I should allow myself to have fun sometimes

#WAAAHHHHH WHY CAN'T THERE BE A HOBBY OUT THERE THAT I'M AUTOMATICALLY PERFECT AT #WHY MUST I GO THROUGH TRIBULATIONS #WHY CAN'T HOBBIES JUST BE FUN AND NOT INCLUDE SUFFERING AND HORRORS #WHY HAVE MOTIVATION FOR SOMETHING IF I'M NOT EVEN GOOD AT IT #MAYBE I DON'T WANNA STUDY HARD TO GET BETTER AND PRACTICE FOR A HUNDRED YEARS #WHEN THERE'S TEN YEAR OLDS WHO'VE BEEN DRAWING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS THAT ARE ALREADY BETTER THAN ME #WHY AM I CURSED WITH SLOW LEARNING AND NO MOTIVATION DISORDER #IS THERE EVEN A GOD OUT THERE WHO CAN HEAR THIS

Reminder: You can draw and write things that can't exist in real life.

You can draw a dog in space if you want to, and you don't owe anyone an explanation for why it's in space or how it can survive without a space suit.

You can draw perspective that doesn't make sense. Your art is allowed to defy reality and canon. You can change chronological rules, write crossovers that break spacetime, and make AUs that don't make sense without having to explain how or why. You can draw characters in nonsensical scenerios, doing things they'd never do and saying things they'd never say, and you don't have to apologize or justify yourself. You can draw heroes being unusually angsty and irredeemable villains being soft and cuddly with NO regard for whether it would "actually ever happen in the story"

You can do that if you want. You are allowed to.
