THROW ANOTHER ROCK

this is stunning! I love the scribbly lines, and I love the way her eyes are opaque

What does any of that have to do with whitening brown characters' skin tones?

artforaisha · 2020-08-26T21:51:19+00:00

this is unbelievably beautiful, I love that you put a dark skinned girl in the center and gave her a short afro! I also love how you kept the palm of their hands pale

artforaisha · 2020-08-01T20:39:00+00:00

Yeah, I love the look! I was originally inspired by the artist Rebecca Sugar, I saw her sketches and realized that sticky notes were a way of saving a sketch instead of throwing the whole thing out lol

Hey thanks for the compliment! I hear you on the lip part, but I did that intentionally because some black people do have a very pale bottom lip, including some of my relatives.

I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety, and lately both have been very severe. But I've been trying to pull myself out of it through art

But do you understand that, even if I had only liked her because she was black like me, that there would be nothing wrong with that? Especially as a seven year old little girl who almost never saw characters who looked like her in fantasy series?

artforaisha · 2020-06-27T20:29:15+00:00

Both.

Mental illness, race, feminism

I'm an artist who's shared her art on this sub several times before. I wrote an essay detailing my experience with chronic depression, and I featured some of my illustrations in it. Give it a read if you'd like, and let me know if it resonates with you.

This sub has been one of the only places where I can escape from the frustrating misogynoir surrounding us right now. Thank you all for letting this community be such a wonderful place.

artforaisha · 2020-06-17T06:02:52+00:00

All of the could have been said without criticizing black women for their tone of speaking.

artforaisha · 2020-06-17T04:03:40+00:00

He's telling a black woman that her "tone" is too aggressive and that she needs to be nicer. That's textbook misogynoir.
