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

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
a lot of you just don't want to put in the work

why are women/girls expected to "grow up" from liking cute things? what does liking hello kitty have to do with not being mature? this incessant need for women to be "grown" and "womanly" is so tiring twitter.com/GL0RYG1RL/stat…

for most fictional white characters their whiteness is not integral to the character, they're only white because white is the default. it's not racism to want to see your likeness as the default mainstream twitter.com/9thWither/stat…

black artists have provided the same resources for years!! twitter.com/melty_chan/sta…
