omg....bingus

uuuuhhh my biggest pointer would be LOOK AT IMAGES OF REAL PEOPLE. STUDY THEM. FIGURE OUT HOW THEIR FACES WORK.

im not the ceo of poc and theres no single way that you should draw dark skinned ppl so yeah. a lot of my negrofication aspects regarding how i structure eyes/mouths/noses are based on real people ive met, so thats a big insp for me. there's deffos other better ppl to go to regarding this topic if u genuinely wanna learn so yeah for now my only advice is look to real life examples and find a way to translate that into ur art :)

oh also if ur gonna color dark skin, pls im BEGGING. dont make it look grey. thats one of my biggest pet peeves. ppl will just move the color slider towards black and b like look i made a poc :) bro no u didnt thats a greyass mf right there 😭

obviously this is an exaggeration but some of yall 👀👀 get too close to this when ur trying to make darker skinned characters. another thing that kinda annoys me is when ppl give dark skinned characters super pink "natural" blush. like. thats not how it works. also yes the inner parts/the palm of our hand is lighter but not EXTREMELY so

obv this is just one example and not all dark skinned poc are gonna work the same, but here you can see blush is still evident but its not... pinkity pink. blush on darker skin is usually more of a darker?? reddish?? version of the skin tone. idk im shit at explaining. also for lips the upper lip tends to b darker than the skin and the bottom lip is lighter, especially towards the center of the lower lip

dark skin also comes in a multitude of undertones so pay attention to that!! there can be orange-y undertones, red undertones, purple, etc!!!

thats my advice on skin im not even gonna get into hair bc there r already so many tutorials on that that do a better job of explaining than i ever could n also u could just do research urself lol
