yaknow i wish people didnt act like having areas of skin that are different shades was a feature exclusive to black peoples hands like, thats a really noticable area so when people get it wrong its pretty obvious but even in white people the palms of your hands are a noticably different color then the back
skin color is not even on literally anybody you are always going to have variations in shades and undertones in different sections of your body and when trying to draw skin more accurately that really shouldnt stop at just using a lighter shade on the hands of ur poc chrs
im white so i cant speak abt darker skin tones that much, but i think that people rlly need to stop acting like stuff like having variations in skin shade is a feature exclusive to them everybody has melinin and its gonna be distributed acrosss your skin differently always and you trying to be more accurate in how u draw skin shouldnt end at instagram info graphics abt how to draw black people better you should be looking at photos and at yourself (even if youre white, black people are not a different species and traits can & do apply to both groups) and trying to notice various features because thats always gonna give you a more accurate picture of things

My stick n poke is healing wonderfully.
Is it objectively a bad tattoo? Yes.
Is it also a pretty fucking good for my very first tattoo I’ve given myself? Also yes.

random only somewhat impulsive life update: this year i got stylized crests of hope and light tattoos 💖
just a nice little reminder for myself that even if i'm getting a bit too busy for fandom lately, enjoying and creating for this pair and for this fandom will always be something i could come back to 💖
also these were designed and inked by local artist Ally Campollo at the Siningtinta studio!
Very few people from the fandom are in this region so you might not be able to check out the studio, but do feel free to check out their art~ (Ally does custom design commissions!! I think all the other artists at this studio do too!)
