Kooleen has since addressed the situation in the post below. I won't say too much since this isn't my apology to accept.
What I will say is that those saying she has nothing to apologize for are wrong. Referring to chins and noses that go more outwards as 'gorilla looking' is an unacceptable thing to say, regardless of if Kooleen had ill intent or not.
TW: Racism/ Anti-blackness
Kooleen's a large artist that mainly makes tutorials of sorts. Her art shows large anime inspiration and she often fixes/roasts her fans' works.
But then, she tried roasting art of black characters and showed she's a blatant racist. Rin's video below contains all the proof, go give it a watch when you can.
I'll list the biggest points below:
-The thumbnail is not clickbait, Kooleen referred to black features as 'gorilla looking' while using them as an example of 'how not' to draw faces
-Kooleen 'fixed' a side profile of a painted black woman by pushing her chin and mouth inwards, also known as whitewashing
-And Kooleen mocked baby hairs on yet another drawing of a black girl, referring to them as 'eyebrows'
Kooleen is hateful: no amount of ignorance can excuse the use of phrases like 'gorilla looking'. And if Kooleen isn't going to learn how to draw black people, then she shouldn't teaching her 2 million subs how to draw black people PERIOD.

Hello my friends
My name is Mohammed from the northern Gaza Strip. I was displaced with my family to Mawasi Khan Yunis, where we live in a miserable shelter due to the war conditions on the Gaza Strip
I would like to tell you that my family, consisting of my children, my elderly father and mother, needs all the necessities of life, as we are now deprived of all these needs..
I was living in my home before the war in good conditions and a luxurious house and I also had a car, but the war turned us into poor people who cannot even find our daily sustenance.. and we cannot find medicine for my elderly parents..
Please donate to save us from the hell of the Gaza Strip, as my family and I are planning to escape from the Gaza Strip to Egypt through the Rafah crossing as soon as it opens, but this plan requires huge sums of money that we pay to travel brokers
Please help us and donate to us, and we will not forget your support for the oppressed in the Gaza Strip Gaza
