hello ! so, i have noticed a problem with certain fanartists in the watcher community right now. basically, i have seen a shocking amount of people drawing ryan bergara's skin colour far too light.
here are some examples of skin colours i have colourpicked from various pieces of fanart (left) compared to swatches i have colourpicked from photos of ryan in various lighting (right).
as you can see, the ones picked from fanart are a lot lighter than the ones picked from photos. i personally think its pretty obvious why this is a problem.
here are the photos i used and the tones next to them, i also included the darkest shadown and lightest highlight.
how can we fix this problem ?
1. use a reference
2. colourpick
3. watch + read tutorials on colouring skin
4. watch + read tutorials on colour theory
5. watch + read tutorials on drawing people of colour in general
now unfortunately i do not have any good tutorials to link at the minute, but if you are aware of any, please feel free to link them. i will also be looking for some and linking them of course.
oh, this applies to the problem of people colouring ryan way too dark as well.
a general rule of thumb however, is if you are colouring a drawing and ryans skin is/would be the same colour as shanes ? then there is a problem.
please think before you post guys.

here’s my piece for the @thisremainsunsolved zine! I was signed on as a merch artist, and I knew I’d have to draw one of my favourite episodes from the show.
This drawing’s over a year old now but im still pretty fond of it
Image description
[A digital illustration of Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej sitting on the Goatman’s bridge. They sit cross legged facing each other with a ouija board in between them. They’re surrounded by 4 candles and a ring of sault and Ryan is gesturing excitedly at Shane who has his arms crossed with a smug expression. Spiralling up from the smoke of one of the candles is the Goatman, a huge purple spectre with a floating goat skull for a head and two large floating hands that hang on either side of the guys. It’s decorated with a teal spiralling pattern.
The background is a dark purple bridge with forests surrounding it, and a full moon sitting high in the sky above them.
