I’m Gonna Try Doing A Studyblr Cause Why Not?

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

if i had just jumped from that bridge 2 years ago NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED

"why are people who do cool things always so weird"

i have a startling truth to keep from you... about the relationship between cool and weird

even if it’s fake

love me please

tell me those sweet lies of yours

and let me sink into this delusion

that i made for my own self-destruction.

“Maybe I’m the reason my life sucks.”

at this point i’m almost grabbing a knife and stabbing my throat without hesitation.

The Inktobertale/Inktale challenge originates from the mix of Inktale and October. The challenge consists of drawing a prompt with Ink!Sans either every day during the month of october, or during the highlighted days for a more condensed "weekly" challenge. Any medium is welcome for this challenge, including writing.

This theme was created and voted as an Ink!Sans challenge, since there are a lot of other Undertale monthly challenges. The Inktale challenge/Inktobertale focuses solely on the character of Ink!Sans. You are free to make Ink!Sans interact with other characters.

You are free to skip, swap or alternate days as you like. You can also do it digitally. Feel free to swap between different challenges! The point is to have fun and experiment this month, so make this challenge a fun experience!

The new addition to this year's Inktobertale is an alternative "weekly" challenge! All the highlighted prompts are a suggestion for people who would like to try a different pace, with roughly one drawing every five days. You're totally free to swap with other prompts if some speak to you better for this list as well.
