Garnet from Steven Universe. Not human, but arguably coded black and appears on the depressingly sparse lists of black cartoon characters I found online. Voiced by Black-British singer Estelle. #pridemonth #blacklivesmatter #drawingwhileblack
Poussey from Orange is the New Black. An excellent character. Unfortunately, her story is currently very relevant. I won’t say more than that, you’ll just have to watch it. It was hard to capture her likeness without her smile. #pridemonth #blacklivesmatter #drawingwhileblack
Token from South Park. I chose Token to represent the concept of tokenism. I loved South Park when I was younger, I’m not sure how I feel about it now. Unfortunately, this won’t be the last token black character I’ll be drawing this month. #blacklivesmatter #drawingwhileblack
This month I’m drawing fictional black / black coded characters in support of #blacklivesmatter mostly from cartoons and games. I’ll post both positive and some pretty awful examples of black representation in media I’ve grown up with. #drawingwhileblack
OK, mission accomplished. Ate all the pancakes for Jesus. And not even the day after pancake day this time.
