TIPS on drawing BIPOC ocs!

Soooo I recently did a collab with another webcomic creator, if you have seem my last post you know what one : ))

as soon as I saw the wonderful artwork I received I noticed something that felt off to me, it's lin's skintone.

This is my Oc Lin Peckett (main character of my comic I Love you Lin peckett)

I never specified her ethnicity (which is my fault on my part) I thought people might know by her looks that she's a POC. specifically she is black/Mexican mixed (I believe blaxican is the term used sometimes)

here are some examples of people I based her off of aesthetically

they are all people of color, share similar skin tone and hair as her. these images are good inspiration to use!

these women in these pictures are all women who are black/Mexican

I used the eye dropper tool to pick 3 different shades of color for comparison, notice how multiple shades are similar to her skintone

lin has tan skin thats more on the lighter side, sometimes her skin tone changed depending on the lighting but her main color is tan. she has lots of warmer tones compared to cooler tones, so keep it more on the yellow side than red/pink compared to other skintones. you can see a difference between the top and middle one than to the bottom one.

here are some white women to compare lin's skintone to

notice how some are similar to her skin, you might think ok so she's white NOPE, look a second time and notice how the color that matched best with her are the parts of these women's faces that are shaded or shadowed. using these women are not good references and if you notice most of them have more pinker tones, lin has warm toned skin.

heres two pieces of artwork I received recently of my oc lin, (both by wonderfully talented creators I'm grateful to get art from) but notice how bluedragon's artwork is the same as lin's. that's because she used an art programs best friend

the eye dropper tool!

this thingy?

it's literally in every single art program ever created, yes even mspaint

use it if you're not sure what skintone to use on a character!

but back to that drawing, you can see a big difference between the two pieces the one on the left by bluedragon is accurate. and the one on the right is by mk-wizard which has lin is very light skin. which is just not correct lol

so let's use are little friend again (the eye dropper tool) to recolor lin with the skintone used in mk-wizard's artwork. as you can tell it's a BIG difference! lin would be a unseasoned piece of chicken if I colored her like this lol (get it …chicken.. HA)

so my final notes to this long post is, please study the character you are drawing a bit more, ask questions. I know this artist isn't whitewashing lin purposely it's an honest mistake that could be anything from different computer monitors showing up different tones? or them being inexperienced drawing POC? which you have all the time in the world to keep studying while drawing! it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them : )))

also this isn't a "callout post" or anything negative towards the artist, this is simply some advice not just for them but for every artist.

I hope this helped in any way possible? and if I missed anything or made any mistakes pls educate me more on drawing BIPOC! I love to hear advice <3 anyways have a good day and drink some water bye~

hi everyone! It's the 2nd anniversary of my comic today! i started on I Love You Lin Peckett a whole two years ago!!! isn't that crazy!! anyways i wanted to celebrate with some type of art contest this is my first time doing something like this.

so basically all you guys gotta do is draw lin with a cake with a big 2 on it! you can draw her eating it or lighting the candles and since my comic is centered around fashion you can dress her in anything you like! no matter how silly or goofy or even shall i say...seductive??

here are the rules! do not change anything about my oc that would be insensitive like changing her race or skintone pls, if u wanna change her makeup or earrings go ahead tho! there is only 1 entry PER PERSON!

now heres the FUN PART the prizes! 1st place gets a full colored (or b&w) comic page from me thats up to 10 panels (this can be of ANYTHING you want!) 2nd place gets a 3 panel B&W comic strip of anything you'd like 3rd place you get a little flat colored icon! preferably chest up of your character.

certain things i will look for like (art style, time into the piece, attention to detail, use of colors, how my character is presented,ect) if you want to just draw a sketch or go crazy all out go ahead! also this counts for all mediums! you can also do things like clay, digital art, traditional, anything! (NO AI GENERATED) and to everyone who participates i'm gonna put your drawing and credits back to you into my page to show off your amazing work!~

the deadline for this is march 10th!

if anyone has any questions either comment or message me privately, happy drawing!

refs for Lin !
