[id: Art of two original characters in a flower shop. In the first drawing, a white man with curly red hair, green eyes, freckles, and Treacher Collins syndrome is smiling and blushing while in his work uniform. He has one hand resting on top of a flower arrangement. In the second panel, a Black woman with dark brown 3b hair, hazel eyes, buckteeth, and a facial scar is wearing a yellow and orange kaftan while smiling. In one hand, she is holding a rose.]
When visiting her sibling in America, Liana also stops by the local flower shop to visit her favorite florist, Calypso.
Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every âX is Zâ statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.

World's most basic "what do you call someone with albinism"
The blindfold thing. No people don't wear these.
This mostly stupid trope of covering a blind character's eyes because lord forbid someone sees a disabled body part
This just stupid trope of giving a blind character some bs superpower to "see"
The echolocation thing that every other blind oc does for some reason
Just give them a cane good lord if you want a character that can see perfectly then maybe don't make them blind
Bonus: if your character has a bunch of scars or whatever else then congrats! You made a character with a facial difference. Which is also something you should research.
Ok I want to be clear that op did not say blind people can't and does not think they can't but in case this is helpful for somebody:
Blind people CAN use the kind of cane that is for mobility impairment, but NOT because they're blind. They would be using it due to another physical disability which impacts their mobility! Many disabled people have multiple disabilities, for example I have a friend who is blind and also has chronic pain, so think about whether your character is disabled in other ways and how it will impact them.
I know art can be inaccessible to physically disabled people for a lot of reasons, and I think art should be accessible to everyone, so hereâs a couple of the things I found to help for a few different issues you may face that stop you participating!
I have a link to all these items (UK) in my link tree!!
