[08/28/2021] Shhh, they're sleeping

but who cares? it's just us

please please PLEASE reblog this if you care

*bangs fists on the table*

I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER-

Me? Posting a club penguin OC? It's more likely than you think.

(Note that I'm still getting the hang of drawing in this art style, so the ref photo may not be entirely good, lmao)

This gal right here goes by the name of Mallory Leanord. She's a 15 year old film prodigy living on the island. Mallory could best be described as a snarky, unfiltered jokester. Because of her sharp humour and untamed curiosity, she often finds herself in trouble. Luckily, for as smart-tongued as she can be, she does know how to find her way out of the messes she digs herself into.

When she isn't stumbling into ghost-ridden hotels or mocking grumpy, bitter polar bears, Mallory enjoys writing, filming, and producing her own short films. She has a passion for the screen, and wants to one day make award winning blockbusters. Even if right now all she really has is herself, a few friends, and a camera.

Despite what her personality would lead you to suggest, Mallory suffers from feelings of inferiority, and combats those feelings via her sarcasm and jokes, something that makes her feel confident in herself. That being said, Mallory has been working hard to deal with these feelings and move forward from them.

Mallory has a sense of loyalty and protection towards her community, especially when it comes to close friends. If you're close to her, she's practically ride-or-die. The last thing you want to do is hurt one of Mallory's friends, because if you do, you'll learn how fearsome a penguin can get.

Aaaand that about covers it! Of course, there are certain intricacies to her character that I didn't cover, but I prefer to leave those undiscovered so that they reveal themselves naturally as I write more about her.

Mallory is personally one of my favorite OCs I've made. She's a blast to write for and her interactions with the world around her are just really entertaining and fun to come up with.

And with that, good day to you all!

(And sorry, to the people who followed me for Goosebumps, Invader Zim, and/or Starkid related content lmao)

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
