I just found an etsy shop that sells parts for escape rooms and it feels like looking through a store for decorating your animal crossing house 

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

So Nick Fury losing his eye or...?

You know what’s a million times more exciting than a random plot twist that comes out of nowhere? A plot twist that was foreshadowed by things you didn’t realize were foreshadowing at first. Nothing makes me go absolutely bananas like the feeling of “oh FUCK…[seemingly unrelated thing] WAS FORESHADOWING”

It’s just another night in the lab. Then it’s a bloody mess and Tony doesn’t know how to make it better. Peter always says he’s okay, so why won’t he say it now?

“The night shifts are better paid, and we need the money. I don’t know why you’re doing such a big thing about it. You like spending time with Tony, and especially with Pepper.” “Yeah, but I feel like I’m just bothering them, May.” “That’s just your feeling.”

Or, it is common that Peter spends his time in the Tower whenever May is at work, but it’s the first time his nightmares catch him there.

OH MY GOD PLEASE

i had this dream like a month ago that i was playing a dating sim and at the start you create an avatar of yourself and answer a few personality questions

but then when the game starts you’re actually playing as the love interest on the cover of the game, attempting to romance YOURSELF aka the avatar you just made, and the whole point of the game was to try and show you why someone might find your personality and all your little idiosyncrasies lovable

like if in the personality questions u say u like dry humour, then the love interest will comment on how they love how good your comedic timing with that type of humour is, or if you’re always late, they’ll mention how they always watch the door when you usually come through and seeing you arrive late is part of their routine, etc

it was a super cute idea and i was mad into it and then i woke up and realized it wasn’t real lmfao
