fun fact: these two dweebs are madly in love and are doomed 80s yaoi/hj

anyways, here are some other poc drawings that i have in somewhat different, but still really simple artstyles,

Spoiler

As for my chibi artistyle, I usually put a mini swirly line in the middle of their face where their nose bridge should be and a flatter line for their nose similarly to what you did when it comes to black characters. And as for white individuals, I typically do the same, except the squiggly line goes on their cheek and the nose line is slightly slanted. I'm probably gonna put a pic here in a lil bit as an example so you can see what I mean better,,,,

I'm horrible when it comes to articulating

yall for anime and chibi artstyles its not that difficult

a good example is my pfp
its still a small line nose but i made the line go from side to side instead of up and down to look wider then other character noses

easy ahh solution, i do this for my chibis aswell
as for more detailed styles i just do a simplified version of the actual nose shape

drawing ppl of different races is genuinely not as painfully difficult as ppl lowkey be making it sound TvT

Another thing is when they try to blame it on someone's art style, which is just a horrible lazy excuse imo. Any race can fit into someone's art style if they at least try hard enough. I was actually thinking of making a topic a while back proving that you can, indeed, fit any ethnicity into an art style, but it seemed pretentious to me. I dunno.

I see this commonly with a lot of anime art styles, which I do understand that putting in ethnic features such as bigger noses and different hair textures might be difficult, but I feel like you can always just implement these features into the art style. I've seen plenty of example before, so it's really just a matter of effort. Making diverse characters just to be diverse just shows a lack of care people put into the designs because of obvious prejudice or racism, and most commonly both.

It's not even that difficult to learn, just search up references the same you would do with someone of another race.

basic research is just a part of being a artist and personally i enjoy it alot:p

anways i also have many drawings of japanese characters from the heian and sengoku era, might post em:p

im convinced most artist dont care abt the cultures the depict and never have:/

i know im making it sound OD but drawing ppl of any background genuinely isnt that hard TvT just be MILDLY culturally aware and aware of their physical traits/differences and treat them like normal people, they should be a genuine character before they are their race (if that makes sense)

nothing wrong with red lips but like i said its not natural for dark skinned ppl at all!
