disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

[tenthousandcats]

I think some of the info here is too generalized. We can’t really say that Asians typically have monolids or that most Asians do–as far as I know, it’s not a very common trait among West and South Asians. I’m Filipino, and I’d say I see more people without epicanthic folds than with. I’d also say that there are as many Asian people with small eyes as there are with big eyes.

My own nose is flat, but I know some other Filipinos who have the “white” nose shape that you present as an example, and I can bet that other people from other Asian ethnicities also have that nose shape. “Looking Asian” comes from the sum of an Asian person’s features, even if some of those features are typically associated with whiteness.

I know you put a bunch of disclaimers about how the info you’re presenting isn’t universal, but a lot of the information in this post really seems to apply more to East Asians. This post would be clearer if you limited the scope of some parts of your discussion to East Asians and not all Asians from the whole continent. :)

Anyway, hell yes to your point about blue/green eyes in Asian characters! I know Asians can possibly have non-brown eyes, but it’s so so so rare that I’ve lived in the Philippines my whole life, and I’ve literally never met an Asian with non-brown eyes. Tired of seeing blue/green/grey-eyed Asians go on cool adventures as main characters all the time while brown-eyed Asians are usually stuck in the background.

Also, hairy Asians?? YES 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🗣️🗣️🗣️

I’m freaking out, to tell the truth. Why? Because of y’all:

FIFTY FOLLOWERS AHHHH

I know it’s not a lot for famous artists but ahhh

[queven]

so I started rereading the iron trial

[queven]

What do you use to art?

Hey anon! I am a broke high-school student, so my go-to app is ibisPaint X (it’s free and can be used on the phone.) The only drawback of this app is that some of the brushes are only accessible with premium features, but can be used for 18 hours after watching an ad :)

I hope that you were asking about the program I used and not what brushes I use ahhh

[queven]

We can go above the clouds and around the sun
