bryanthelion:
I'm going to make a new comic soon. but there is a problem.

See my whole drawing style incorporates only two colors. Black and white.

Though, how do I draw african americans?

Do I draw diagnal lines were I want to show their skin color? Do I fill in the white spaces with just black? Or do I just not fill it in and let the reader decide the ethnicity.

Please tell me an honest answer and not goof around or make rascist comments. I really want to know.

Cam:
Facial structure helps a lot.

A few examples:
Boondocks comic http://www.gocomics.com/boondocks/
Reggie from pvp online http://www.pvponline.com/article/3268/tue-apr-17?y=2007
Also, I instantly thought of Banksy's Maid http://www.banksy.co.uk/outdoors/images/landscapes/maidinlondon3.jpg

bryanthelion:
bansky's maid is a great piece of graffitti

Also, I literally mean black and white.


I might post some pictures of an african american character. Then put stripes and stuff.

Cam:
Well, pvp online is black and while, aside from one color strip a week or so.  The boondocks is b&w as well.  And banksy's was Black and fleshtone, but is still two colors in the face.  I guess I don't understand what you are mean by black and white then.  One of my teachers always said, "the problem with communication is the illusion that it is being accomplished."

Everyone Drunk But Me



This girl draws only on grayscale and has a black character. For some reason, I remembered her just coloring her in gray, but going through the archives, I guess she doesn't.
