Hey jsyk itâs 2018 and if youâre still drawing characters with big lips like THIS, even if theyâre pale/not black, itâs fucking racist. Stop doing it.
No excuses. âItâs a stylistic choice!â Itâs a RACIST stylistic choice.
âIdk how else to draw big lips!â Thatâs because you relied on racist caricatures and are a bad artist. Teach yourself. Learn. If youâre not willing to do that, then you are a bad, racist artist.
âBut itâs part of the character design!â Yeah, and itâs racist. If itâs your OC, then change it. If itâs not your OC, make the right choice and draw them with normal looking bigger lips instead of this racist monstrosity.
And if this post makes you uncomfortable because itâs calling you out for stuff youâve done, good. Fix it. Own up to it. Grow.
If you see this and youâre first thought is to defend this: you are racist. You are part of the problem. Congrats. Now work on yourself and unlearn that.
