I have been loving drawing darker skin tones recently! (Probably after binge watching likelihood_art’s YouTube channel...) I’ve never felt comfortable reaching out to draw POC incase my lack of skill were to offend, however, I was really inspired by this girl I saw on Pinterest and decided to just go for it! I want to represent different skintones/cultures in my art and show some love for those who are underrepresented ❤

this took 1hr 57 mins in total and I had soo much fun with it! I love how I coloured the skin in this piece and feel it looks a lot more realistic/3D compared to the flat shading I’ve done previously. Overall I learned a lot from this one drawing and I’m excited to work on more like this in the future
