jedi finn 💫
big long note below, please read! ⬇️
I have always felt like tumblr was somewhere that I could trust and be open and honest. so if you don’t read this it is okay but I want to say something from my heart. yesterday I posted this same drawing and later removed it. I had received some comments that in the drawing, finn’s skin color was too pale, so I deleted it and made this post, as an explanation and an apology. as an artist I was proud of the original drawing but quickly became guilty and ashamed of it after realizing my mistake. it was totally an accident and completely unintentional. I left my markers at home but brought my basic art supply bag back to college, as well as the sketchbook with the drawing in it. turns out the perfect marker was in my bag! so I have redone the drawing and I am much more confident in it this time. I love finn and I adore john boyega. I just wanted to say again that I would never ever intentionally create something to whitewash him or finn or any character of color. I too am offended when I see drawings that whitewash characters of color and I’ve never wanted to be like that. I am not that kind of person. so I decided to post the redone version today to show that I am truly sorry to anyone I may have offended or hurt. I am honestly hurt by my own ignorance. I’ve never felt so guilty. I made an honest mistake and I am learning from it. I hope you can understand and accept my sincerest apology!
