A couple of artist I follow do this, in the comics they don’t color the palms for any of the characters.

    *No matter what, please everyone remember these 3 things:*
    ✅Black people have light palms
    ❌Please don't draw oval lips (see Mr. Popo from dbz), it's better to have a regular anime mouth
    ✅Noses tend to be more rounded
    You can get away with a lot, you don't have to make them super faithful to irl POC people but if you want to go for accuracy, this video is a great start and research research research!
    Good luck!

    I have a few POC characters And I'm so afraid of offending people and or misrepresenting people Through something in my art or writing. I mainly struggle with drawing hair. ((//Im waiting for the video to come out right now!!, ill watch it the second i have the chance to!) As someone with plain poofy hair and Paper white skin I obviously don't know the experience or know how POC and textured hair works. so texturing it and trying not to make it look wrong is outside of my experience . being brought up in a very white (and kinda racist) area. All of my knowledge comes from Online observations and direct referencing
    Therefore i literally could not thank you enough for making this video! :) I'm so glad it came up in my recommendations page!!

    Just wanna say thank you again for making this series and for putting out gorgeous art and talking about fun and important things in general! These methods are beautifully stylised. I've been brushing up on my color theory and color picking skills in the last year, especially improving dark skintone swatches for my OCs. I've also recently (after you put out this video) made a few pieces that required a bunch of different hues for brown skin, brown and black hair, and even fur, and oh my gods that little chart you showed at 9:29 has been super helpful. I feel like my color picking improved instantly. Thanks for sharing!!

    So glad there is a tutorial about how to do dark and mid black skin because it's so hard to find tutorials about it from books to even online. When it comes to manga art, it's especially hard as if there aren't any black or tan anime characters 😑
    Can't wait to see the hairstyles in the next part. That's definitely my weakness because I want to draw myself in the manga style, but my fro is a bit difficult to draw and shade 😅

    • @seauqis
      @seauqis 4 роки тому +22

      I reccommend choosing reds or pinks and desaturating them, when a lip colour is bright and saturated it tends to look like makeup so desaturating a red/pink colour should help make the lips feel more natural
