vitiligo-is-not-a-trend

Some of the repetitive questions here made me think "Do y'all need a visual guide?" So I did it.

If I did any mistakes in interpreting your many answers, please say! I will edit anything I need to for it to be actually respectful & accurate.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU THATS PERFECT

Do you mind if I add it to the FAQ (with credit of course <3)

PSA For Digital Artists

Unless your tablet or monitor has some kind of fancy "paper white" lighting option (is that even a thing?) I need you to STOP DRAWING ON A WHITE CANVAS. You are essentially STARING AT A LAMP FOR HOURS.

Save your eyes and use a middle grey canvas instead! My default is hex #8A909B, but you can find what works for you!

I am being so serious right now please stop drawing on a white canvas oh my god you're damaging your eyes no wonder so many digital artists get migraines I thought this was common knowledge but apparently not so please please please take care of your eyes you only get two of them in your whole life and I am begging you to be good to them—

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been despairing as it is so hard now to find references and photos of succulents and other things for my designs!! T_T

Please share this!!!!! As you resident vitiligan and fellow artist I am here to educate people on how to properly create a character with vitiligo and other things to keep in mind about the disorder.

Only 1% of the entire world’s population has vitiligo but I see so many artists making characters with it when they sometimes don’t even know what vitiligo is and pass it off as “skin pigmentation”. Like— what does that even mean??? XD

It’s not an aesthetic and it won’t get you “diversity points” so stop romanticizing vitiligo!

Honestly very happy to see this, especially the part that emphasises that skin tone has nothing to do with the likeliness of developing vitiligo. You can be as white as snow and have it.

It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.

The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.

FLESH CLOUD EAGER TO ASSIST YOUR ART.

Seeing as this is going around again

I may be white myself bit this is a tweet and thread of a black person about this

“non blacks please stop using the fleshcloud as a reference for skin tones, its bad and ugly and you will get some unnatural skin tones. use

Please look through this thread💕

Flesh cloud is NOT the best solution

all-fandoms-are-gay

Here’s what I could find from said thread, in case anyone can’t use the link

Reblogging this again as I see the topic come up again over on Twitter

Also ppl saying I was rude initially; as far as I’ve been informed OP actually doesn’t really like their years old creation themselves anymore either. Adding resources and sharing the voices of people isn’t rude :/

(I’m also very bad at tone and social cues so maybe I just don’t understand how it’s rude, i simply said “it’s not the best solution” not “don’t ever use it” as I didn’t mean to be rude?)

Youtube algorithm decided to remind me of this existing again. So here is the mandated fleshcloud & flesh cubes reblog

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

Memo to everybody :

Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a WIP you abandoned. Sometimes the idea needs a different set of characters or a different setting.

indecisive-behaviors

An addition:

Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a project you already completed. Sometimes ideas really are just that good and deserve to be used more than once.
