we love black women in pastel 💗🌸✨
Im sorry but your point falls apart when you tell me that making the very clearly darkskin characters look like this!!! is fine. https://t.co/QCGv2qDGCc
ive also added some skin tones with their respective shadows, highlights and blushes
Heres an example!
You want to keep the skin tone within the same range
while not getting carried away with the highlight and harshlight! A blk person wont become white do matter how bright you make the light put in front of em! hope this helps https://t.co/mnuhWFHsTy
okay here! firstly drawing in the "pastel" style should not be exclusive to darkskin people. making the skin color lighter to fit the pastel aesthetic of being soft is racist.
aesthetics should not exclude races bec you LOOK a certain way https://t.co/iQv1K2BLfp
I know alot of you may think when a white character is recast as black, you might say that is blackwashing and...it never mattered in the first place if they were white or not--they were white just bec white is the default! Which is why Halle bailey a black woman, is Ariel now!
So we get events like Blacktober, headcanons and AU's of characters as black or black coded. which are usually met with intense backlash from white people
who act as if we have oppressed them like they did us.
When your people is consistently represented in such a harmful way or just completely removed from media as a whole, they end up clinging to characters that aren't even their race or even a person at all.
lets talk abt the facts! White people are the main race represented in cartoon media to this day while black and other poc are not or their representation is nothing but a racial caricature or a harmful stereotype.
