what is hoochie coquette and why racism in the coquette tag goes unchecked

as we all know. coquette is supposed to be a subculture that embraces girlhood and femininity and a joie de vivre for everyone. if that's the case, why are black girls held to such narrow and frankly eurocentric standards?

We need to be more honest about how we view black girls in the community and the racism they face.

This is just a snapshot of the hatred we recieve here for trying to make the tag as inclusive as possible. Everyday we see white girls post random things and it eventually gets absorbed as coquette culture, why are the black girls not the same?

Why is this seen as acceptable black girl femininity

but this isnt?

And I believe that complaining does nothing without action, and I want to be the change I want to see.

So I'm introducing hoochie coquette.

This substyle is based around and caters to the specific displays of femininity crafted by young Black American women. People often deny Black Americans have a culture but that's simply untrue, while it varies from region to region, there are things that unify us: hair bobbles, large gold earrings, long ornate nails, colorful hair, grillz and more. I want to celebrate and show the beauty of the culture we have created, and I no longer wish to alienate the girls people deride as 'ghetto' and 'hoodrats'. These girls are beautiful, funny, smart and an all around good time. Who says they aren't coquette just because they wear Baby Phat instead of Brandy Melville?

I also challenge young Black girls to antagonize why they look down on these types of girls. Are you really better than them or are you internalizing a yt supremacist worldview that causes you to abandon the girls who are your cousins? Your sisters? Your aunts and maybe even your mothers before you were born?

never forget ive been about this since day 1 in 2020 back before half of you even knew what coquette was

Trying to draw buildings

[archive7481465]

yo here’s a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis… use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town you’re trying to draw… then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! It’s simple & fun!

[moorecolinart-deactivated201810]

Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I can’t recommend it enough.

There’s a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you don’t have to build everything from scratch.

This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every time I see it come around.

We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldn’t even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.

Here’s the missing part of this tutorial:

How do you populate your backgrounds?

Well, here’s the answer:

If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.

The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of “plops” the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the person’s relation to their environment.

How do you fix this?

Well, here’s the simplest solution:

This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when they’re quickly planning compositions. It’s simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.

From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)

From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)

Even if your draftsmanship isn’t that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside – not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.

Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.

Great comments and tutorials!

I’m a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!

Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume it’s reasonably easy to learn. If you’re interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!

Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple ‘CAT’ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)

The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this - Manga Studio, Design Doll - but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.

By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!

Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.

We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!

Proper 3d modeling software is immensely powerful, and if you wanted to, you could model a complex environment that occurs regularly in your comic or illustration work (say, a castle interior, or an outdoor forest environment) and populate the scene with as many perspective-grounded characters as you need!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at this amazing addition! This is fantastic!

[punkrockclone]

Not just poses, you can also do this with lighting. Playing with lights in Blender is pretty fun.

Another cool thing: http://www.makehumancommunity.org lets you generate a human model. Like a character creator in a game, but more flexible, and the result is ready to import into a 3d editor like Blender.

while y’all are advocating for a ceasefire - and you should be - we need to keep centered that while a ceasefire is necessary to stop the current genocidal attacks and get the food, water and medical supplies that palestinians urgently need to them as soon as possible, we CANNOT stop there.

a ceasefire is an important step that MUST happen but we cannot let it be the end. the world cannot turn away. because as soon as we do, israel will restart their genocidal campaign. a ceasefire is step one, but we MUST end the occupation. palestine MUST be free. there is no other option.

so please do continue to advocate for ceasefire, to protest and call your representatives demanding that they support it, but if it happens, do not become complacent. we cannot stop until the occupation ends and palestine is free.

[blackgirlprotagonist]

"The children in Gaza don't deserve to live like this" but it's not only the children.

It's every palestinians.

It has been on going for 75+ years.

The adults and eldery people were children once that experience the violence as well.

They had to raise family in those condition.

They saw their parents, siblings, relatives, neighbours, bestfriends, first love killed in front of them.

They grew up to tell the stories and now the newest generations is doing the same and who knows if they'll grow up to be adults who can live to see the end of the oppression.

We are privileged to have access to informations. It's not easy to know what to do or what is the right thing to do but lending out voices to palestinians is the least we can do.

Speaking up, being informed and staying educated on the situation is the least we can do.

This is basic empathy as human beings.
