All That You Can Drawgust

Day 3: Tattoo

(Click for best quality! Please Reblog, Don't Repost. Use cold water to get blood out of clothes)

Got a little messy with my day 3 of #AllThatYouCanDrawgust2021 !

I'm really happy with this one! I essentially had to relearn drawing dress clothes like this and I usually only draw one character at a time. Also I like the pose :)

More thoughts beneath the cut!

So how did I get a stabbing scene from Tattoo? Well...

The form of tattooing I'm most familiar with is done by repeatedly stabbing ink beneath the skin to create an image (though there are other forms. I read the whole Wikipedia article on tattoos. Interesting stuff!)

So I really got stuck with the concepts stabbing and ink so I drew a man being stabbed and ink bleeding out :) a little dark :)

The grey scale and outfits are super inspired by princecanary/rhettaro/star_bite (idk which usernames go where but they're on Tumblr, twitter, and insta). I fell down a hole of looking at their art. I love it so much :') Definitely Art Goals

Also the posing/concept was partially inspired by Karina/Dilfosaur's art (on Tumblr and twitter for sure. Idk about insta. Also Drawfee on twitch and YouTube), especially her neopets art and hot guy PI. Is this the knife fight Schmitt saw?????? O_0

Also if you're getting Hannibal vibes, that's partially intentional but I drew this before I saw the episode that someone got stabbed like this

Who doesn't love a stabbing with a little homoerotic subtext

Frigg (Friia) was the Queen of Asgard, wife of Odin (God of Wisdom) and the goddess of beauty, love and marriage in Norse mythology. Even though her main role was guardian of marriage, Frigg did not live with Odin. Instead, she made her home in a place called Fensalir and was attended by several maids. She had a reputation of knowing every person’s destiny, but never unveiling it. The English word ‘Friday’ is derived from her name.

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. 

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.

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!

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)

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. 

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.

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

Girls Night!
