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
"they still look poc" doesn't cut it, not anymore

to non-Black creatives who regularly use Black imagery in your work now's a good time to pay attention and act.
caring about diversity shouldn't be limited to the things you create and consume.
