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.

happy (very late) 32nd birthday ryan !
i dont have the energy for words, to get all sappy and write a mile long post about how goddamn much ryan bergara fucking means to me, so instead i did it through the one way i know how to truly express myself. i poured my heart and soul, all those mushy-gushy feelings, into this drawing. i squeezed it out of my brain as fast as i could, i even started working on it before the 26th, and it still popped out late. but thats okay. anyway, happy birthday ryan, tumblrs favourite little meow meow <3
