Hello! It's me! I am back! With the Black Vampire Skin Tones/Shades! Last time! You said that you liked Light Blue with Brown better! So I decided to use it and practice with it. And also used it on different Dark Skin Tones.

I had a lot of fun with them.

The letters of the Skin Tones/Shades stand for:

DTA - Deepest Almond (I added a T because I didn't want it to be confused with DA/ Deep Almond.)

EDA - Extra Deep Almond

VDA - Very Deep Almond

DA - Deep Almond

MDA - Medium Deep Almond

EDG - Extra Deep Golden

DG - Deep Golden

MDG - Medium Deep Golden

MG - Medium Golden

I had to do Medium Golden twice. Because I wasn't sure about the first one (Left one). Which for the first one I shade Light Blue first and then I shade in Medium Golden. The second I did the reverse. First MG and then LB. And repeat. I was wondering if I could get advice for them?

EDG - Extra Deep Rose

VDR - Very Deep Rose

DR - Deep Rose

I decided to practice with Brown (B), again. I think it looked good.

LBWN - Light Brown

T - Tan

So yeh! I took yours and another user on this post to practice:

So yeah!

Here is another picture of the Dark Skin Tones. Just in case!

Is there anything I can do to be better with the Skin Tones?

I admit the combos are not my favorite, but that's on purpose lol. You're trying to make them look washed out. I appreciate all the thought and experimentation that you've been putting into this!

A pitfall a lot of people fall into when drawing afro-textured Black hair is that they draw the curls as if they were loose, using sharp shapes that imply a very different flow than you'd find with 4c-adjacent coils.

See below:

While all three are hair textures people can have, larger shapes and sharper points show an increased loss of texture. Ideally, you should be using small, fairly uniform shapes if you aren't familiar enough with Black hair to experiment with how you show texture.

There are a lot of ways to use sharpness and small detail when designing Black hairstyles that don't necessitate looser curls! Shaping/styling can really take you almost anywhere.

And don't just listen to me! Check out Ice @creatingblackcharacters for beautiful Black-made art and her incredibly detailed syllabus. The more you pay Black people their due attention, the better you'll get.

So I was thinking about more resources to show just how creative and unique Black hair can be in character design, and how much of an art style it really is. Then I remembered something:

Hair Shows and Competitions!

This hair look from the Bronner Bros. International Beauty Show in Atlanta is a true standout, and one to mimick.

Candace Morrow visits the World Natural Hair Show to check out amazing natural hairstyles and products

Colombia’s annual Weaving Hopes festival takes the tradition of intricate braiding styles to another level in its annual celebration.

Dear All,We are thrilled to announce that the second Braid Master Competition was a phenomenal success! Once again, your extraordinary talen

I assume other people have hair shows; I've never really thought about it. But yeah! You'll have to find social media of creators and stylists, but you can find a lot of cool things if you look 👀

Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

edit: apparently tum "queerest place on the internet" blr hates disabled people so much that this post got automatically filtered. cool!
