again reminder: dark skin tones comes in different shades. I'm not tan, I am a deeper brown. drawing a character that canonically has deep brown skin, a lighter, tanner brown is not good enough

it's interesting even when my dark skin and pastels guide is reposted, people still go "that's not pastels!" as if I were to wear a pink skirt in real life my skin colour would become three shades lighter

It's concerning to me how harassment/rude comments against black artists in the art community is very much being overlooked. It's like general accepted rules on theft, quote tweets and rude replies aren't being respected and it honestly affects my time posting art here..
