So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know.
Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.
Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!
Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)
If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE.
Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.
Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.
OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

don’t you ever read a piece of fanfiction so good you just

It's very funny to me that Mikita is on the receiving end of Ryba's kind of insane crush (?) on him and even when Ryba and Przemek become a pairing he then has to deal with Przemek asking about Ryba romantically and telling him unwanted information about their relationship. Someone give this aromantic guy a break
its funnier when you consider the fact that Ryba isnt the only person that has a crush on him. It doesnt bother him all that much (he doesnt know Ryba has unspecified feelings for him but Ryba himself doesnt bother him to what he would consider an annoying degree) and in-canon Mikita would be and to some degree is considered one of the prettiest people there, despite the initial eerie-ness and the fact that despite what people think at first he isnt a girl (yet? the before mentioned misandry or transness issue), so it isnt really a shock, unless you take his unpleasant personality into account. He himself is aroace and uninterested in most kinds of relationships (being vulnerable would kill him i think). Have a semi detailed chart. Once again if i dont talk about them more than needed i will break my arms
*i say platonic because its the closest there is to whatever Ryba has going on. It isnt strictly platonic but it isnt romantic either that boy was built for unlabeled relationships
An eye for an eye

this morning, russians bombed Ukraine again. this is Children's Hospital Okhmadyt in Kyiv, and it's the largest children's hospital in Ukraine. there are dead and injured, the exact number is currently unknown. under the rubble there are people, it is possible that there are also children.
the blow to Okhmadyt fell on the building where children received blood purification for kidney failure: intensive care, operating, and oncology departments were damaged. some children could not physically go down to the shelter due to their health.
you can donate to the Foundation Okhmadyt, or donate to the Fund to help children with cancer Tabletochki.
Hello, I hope you're doing well.. My name is Mahmoud, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging. Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens. If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference. Thank you. https://gofund.me/bd3ccf0b
