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 want Roman to comfort the other sides. I want him to tell Patton that it’s okay not to be continuously happy and upbeat and that he’s still just as noble. I want him to talk to Logan about emotions and creativity, when Logan is feeling especially numb. But most of all I want Roman telling Virgil that it’s okay to feel anxious. That just because he feels like he holding Thomas back doesn’t mean he isn’t as important as the rest of them. That Thomas couldn’t have accomplished anything without Anxiety. I want him to tell Virgil that he’s just as brave as Roman and that he is vital. I want him to help Anxiety through panic attacks. But I also want the sides comforting Roman. I want Logan to talk to Roman about how it’s okay not to be perfect because nobody is. I want Patton to comfort Roman when he can’t save someone on a quest. And I want Virgil to talk Roman through the periods where he’s feeling useless, and that his opinions aren’t wanted. I want Virgil to explain that Thomas needs creativity to be who he is and that Roman is nowhere near useless. I want him to distract Roman by watching Disney movies with him, and arguing with Roman about the moral. I just want Roman loved and supported by the other sides and likewise.
