I'm TIRED of seeing Miguel (and Miles and Pavitr and Hobie) have the skin color of a Victorian child on their death bed. Stop making them this ugly grayish brown for fucks sake.
Many artists color palette, grey, barely any undertone at all, lighter and lighter:
What the color range should be, orange and red undertones, lots of saturation:
Stay away from that top section of the diamond, there is nothing for you there. No character of color is that shade, even for highlights. I'm putting them on a high shelf next to Encanto until yall learn to draw POC because we have this conversation every. time.
If you call yourself an artist, you already know how to learn new methods, how to use references and practice in order to get better. Make the same effort for Black and brown characters!!
[Image IDs: Pictures 1 through 4 feature a color wheel that is configured to have a diamond inside a circle, the circle contains the colors and the diamond allows you to choose what saturation and shade you want.
The circle has selected the orange color on the circle for all images. In the first image, the diamond's shade is a beige, leaning heavily toward white. In the second, the diamond's shade is a grey-brown with a very small amount of orange present. In the third, the diamond has selected a warm, rich brown with an orange-red undertone. In the fourth, the diamond has selected a slightly more yellow undertoned warm brown shade.
In the fifth image, the same color selection wheel is present, this one has writing on top. The topmost triangle making up the diamond is outlined in red, pointed to with a red arrow. Black text above the arrow reads, "Stay TF away from this zone for every brown character". The orange-yellow to red area of the circle is outlined in black, pointed to with a black arrow. Black text below the arrows reads, "This zone is your friend, don't run from them uwu"
The final image is a meme featuring Tan France pointing a gun at the viewer, saying "Make an effort." End ID]
