So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 
Tumblr media
Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.
Tumblr media
Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!
Tumblr media
Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)
Tumblr media
If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 
Tumblr media
Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.
Tumblr media
Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.
OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

“Average person in the 1800s only lived to ~35” factoid actually just statistical error. Average 1800s person lived to ~70 years old. Baby Shoes Never Worn Georg, who lives in a cave and kills newborn babies, is an outlier and should not have been counted

I am honestly scared of you. I’m sure this will bring glee to your heart, but I had to say it. Doesn’t mean I don’t like you; I do, I’m just absolutely floored by your existence. At this point I’m about 87% sure you’re immortal, you have had experiences most people consider extremely improbable and I weep at the sheer quality of your writing every time you post anything. If we met in the street I’d run flat out in the other direction while simultaneously wanting to go back and ask to interview you. We’re not close, but you know me from the IW. You claim to be the sane one but every time I’m privy to a conversation with you I learn something startling. You are quite the badass motherfucker, my friend. However, please never ask me anything directly because I will likely drop dead on the spot.
Good tidings, friend, and I hope you have as whimsical a day as your heart desires.
Well, first of all, I need to say thanks, because that guilt tripped me into vacuuming my flat, which was much needed.
Secondly, I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Something in between. Sappy? No that already exists. Had? That too. Well, you see what I mean. My point is, thanks so much for saying I'm cool (I assure you, I'm not), and just jkjjkjjdjdksk y'all should stop being nice I still can't handle compliments. Also thanks for saying my writing is qualitative! I'm trying!
And no, I'm not the sane one. Just the least emotionally available...
Have a whimsical (had to look the meaning up, ngl) day too!!!
PS: if you met me in a street, you'd indeed probably run away, but that's mostly because 90% of people do that. See, I have a reputation.

Hey, complete stranger.
I’ve seen a bunch of your posts and reblogs mentioning a group of people calling themselves maggots. I’m very confused. Who are you? Why do you call yourselves maggots?
Sincerely, totally not a stalker from IW
Hello, anonymous IW stalker! Glad to receive your ask!
Ok, so if you saw a bunch of my posts, you've probably seen @weirdly-specific-but-ok , the (self proclaimed?) good omens mascot. At some point, he decided that people interacting with his posts were his fans, and deserved a community name. How did the word maggot rise from the depths of his twisted brain? Nobody knows. But now, any person who reblogs his posts or sends him asks is a maggot, whether they like it or not (Neil Gaiman is therefore also a maggot). These people must not be confused with the good omens fandom: although the overlap is significant, some maggots haven't watched or don't like good omens.
So, who are we ? We're not a who, we're a what. Being a who requires a level of normality we can't pretend to. What do we want? Love, hope and money. I won't lie, mostly money. Why do we call ourselves maggots? Didn't have a choice, as all our gods have abandoned us. Welcome!

PRETTY SURE HALF OF THESE WORDS AREN'T IN THE DICTIONARY BUT AMAZING, AS ALWAYS.
Part two for the win!
twilight for the uninitiated
HEYLO BABYGIRLS, BITCHBOYS, AND BOYCOTTERS OF THE BINARY! It's your favourite (and I should hope only) Good Omens Mascot and Maggot Prince here. Yesterday (earlier today? idk I sleep in naps) way over on the maggots server some of y'all were insulting Twilight. Which I am 100% supportive of, but for Bildaddy's sake, you need to insult it CORRECTLY.
But should you have to hate-watch or hate-read it? Nah, you've got me. In middle school I got late to school because I was reading the books in the bathroom instead of getting ready. I'VE GOT YOU! Gonna mix up the book and movie for optimum enjoyment.
Dramatis Personae: Edward Cullen, aka Sparkles the Vampire. Bella Swan, aka Bella Sue. Jacob Black, aka Wolfy Eggfucker. Charlie Swan, aka Gunboy ACAB. And Dr Carlisle Cullen, aka Zaddy. @orpiknight taught me that word.
ALRIGHT! So Bella Sue's mum and dad are divorced and she lives with her mum. But her mum's like lmao fuck you when she gets a touring boyfriend and tosses Bella Sue to Forks, where it rains a lot, and where her dad Gunboy lives.
So Bella Sue grabs a cactus because that represents Arizona and hauls ass, and Gunboy makes awkward comments about her hair. Bonding! But then he gets her a pickup truck, which is wild-o.
First day of school and Bella Sue is very popular because Small Town and the boys are very tingly in the ballsacks if you catch my drift. Anna Kendrick asks her why she's white (YOU CAN'T JUST ASK PEOPLE WHY THEY'RE WHITE, KAREN!) and then promptly forgets she was in the movie.
INTRODUCING THE VAMPIRES! This is a vampire story, by the way. There's Himbo, Blonde Murderer, and they're dating/married. There's Bi Awakening and some constipated looking dude from the Confederate army, and they're dating/married (don't worry about it). There's Sparkles, of course, and they all walk into the cafeteria being Hot apparently. Sparkles stares at Bella Sue. This is to be a common theme.
Sparkles thinks Bella Sue stinks. No, like, literally, she stinks coz he wants to eat her and food smells etc. Bella Sue also has magic powers and Sparkles can't read her mind. He's like >:(=. Those are his fangs, btw. But then he goes away with his family to hunt animals and drink blood and comes back like :)=.
Bella Sue almost gets hit by a car but then Sparkles jumps in and pushes it away. He then gaslight gatekeeps girlbosses her, and googles adrenaline rush to explain it to her. AND GUESS WHO HEALS HER? IT'S SPARKLES'S DAD, AND MY ZADDY. He walks into the ER all blonde and gentle and competent. Oh and he's a vampire too and so is his wife but like his magic power is compassion and also he's learned to regulate himself around blood. And he's pretty. Zaddy.
He's so fucking pretty but then we have to go back to the Plot and some humans are being killed or whatever and Gunboy is takin' charge yo. Sparkles keep chasing after Bella Sue to tell her to stay away from him and finding her randomly to remind her to ABSOLUTELY STAY AWAY and then he stalks her in the night and has dinner with her after saving her from a gang to tell her to ABSOLUTELY STAY AWAY. Also, he's like 110 years old. Whatever.
Oh and Sparkles breaks into her room to watch her sleep at night. It's super duper romantic. (No, trust me, once you see Wolfy in the later books, this will be super duper romantic). Then he takes her to abandoned clearings in woods to threaten to kill her and he tells her to SAY WHAT HE IS and she's like MOSQUITE LEECH VAMPIRE.
AND THEN HE SPARKLES! A LOT! And they go to the Cullens house and play baseball and Zaddy is looking absolutely lovely and welcomes them and even stands off some random vampires that show up. But one of them likey-likey's Bella Sue's blood.
Bella Sue is like lmao fuck you you're not a good dad to Gunboy to keep him safe or whatever and runs away with the Cullens to keep herself safe or whatever. Idk man Zaddy is just very pretty throughout.
And then there's a ballet place and Bella Sue goes there to get murdered coz she doesn't want to be a burden to the Cullens (homegirl never been so real). The Cullens get there and kill the vampire but then she's vampiring so Sparkles sucks the venom out and Zaddy heals her. Looking pretty. Blonde hair, golden eyes, etc.
And then Gunboy and Bella Sue's mum show up and she goes home and she's like SPARKLES TURN ME INTO A VAMPIRE TOO and he's like yo wtf no you'll be a monster (I think he's just pissed he sucked that venom out for nothing) and she's like SPARKLES PLEASE UWU and he's like UGH WE'LL SEE and they dance at prom but anyway there it ends. It should have ended with a shot of Zaddy but anyway.
*influence voice* Like and subscribe Like and reblog for a part II coz there are three more books/four more movies. Gotta get that education. Now I have the urge to make a youtube video. Garn. ANYWAY LOVE YOU ALL BYE MAGGOTS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT CURSED TWERKING THING IS BUT I'M 100% SURE IT'S TEETH ARE NOT SOFT.

2, 25 and 62 for the ask game?
-Nitzi
2. Last person you said "I love you too"
Uh...you mean, like genuine "I love you" or the "love y'all" you throw at a crowd when you leave? Depending on what it means, either the maggots, Asmi, or my computer. Idk...
25. Do you miss someone from your past?
Oh, good lord NO. Small exception for the servants who were nice to me, but even those were nice because they were paid for it so, well, not really. Not a big past fan, me.
62. What makes you happy?
Coffee. Extraordinary amounts of coffee. And unexpected things.
