could you imagine spock prime’s reaction when he finds out khan is somehow white. ‘oh my god. what did i even do’
Saying that people of color cannot show any visible blushing is a big fat myth that only proves how little people actually know about skin tones.
I have seen a lot of skin-tone palettes that includes dark skin, but it is very rarely put in use as examples. And many times I’ve found them to only appear monochrome, while darker skin tones are just as rich in tone variation as fair skin.
And just to be extra nice, I even added the basic colors I used in these two examples. A big protip is to start with the darkest tone as a base and then work to light tones. Use the highlights sparingly, they should not be large but more like small spots. Dark skin is more “reflective”, meaning small highlights pop out more than on lighter skin tones.
I made this set mainly for all the anime artists out there who probably would love to color more poc characters but don’t really know if it’d work out as kawaii as their usual stuff.
News flash: it’s drop-dead super kawaii in all skin tones<3
Skin tone practice using Lauren K. Cannon’s tutorials. Guys this painting stuff is really fun.
Posting this because I figure someone else might benefit from these tutorials, they’re awesome.
- Spock: don't do the thing
- Kirk: I'M GOING TO DO THE THING
- #mccoy: WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THE THING

HI GUYS!!!
If you’re in southeastern Michigan tomorrow (5/4), I’d love it if you came by Big Ben’s Comix Oasis in Allen Park for Free Comic Book Day! I’ll be doing sketches there for most of the day. COME BY AND SAY HELLO (AND MAYBE TELL ME WHAT TO DRAW)!!
So they were filming Winter Soldier in Dupont Circle last night, and while that turned out to be a disappointment (just the stunt double), it was SO WORTH IT because a guy there had somehow acquired 10 pages of shooting script and let me read them. I will not be sharing any of the actual spoilers contained therein, but I WILL reveal that the following is now canon:
Steve Rogers keeps a notepad in his pocket with a list of pop culture things he needs to keep up on, and it currently reads:
Star Wars
Nirvana???
