For the first tutorial on how I draw skin, see the post here.
But seriously, I’ve seen too many drawings of Native characters with literal red/pink skin to count so just in case some of you are having troubles with drawing Native people, I’ve provided a guide for you. Please take my swatches if it helps!! and no more red skinned people, please <0<
Disclaimer: this tutorial is mainly about the artistic depictions of Indigenous Peoples in North America, where the slur and redskin caricature originated, but it would still be racist to draw other non-North/Central/South American Indigenous groups like this so…..don’t.

some depression tips:
Get several water bottles, fill them all up together, that way you’ll only have to get up once to have plenty of water for the day. Hydration is super important.
Get a Depression Bag prepped on your clear days. Put food in it. No perishables/cold stuff obviously, but things like crackers, canned food, chips, a loaf of bread + spreads, cookies, even some fruits + vegetables (just make sure you eat them either way before they go bad.) If needed, you can hide this bag in your room.
Bring a bowl, a toothbrush and some toothpaste into your room. Use a little bit of water over the bowl to wet the brush so you can clean your teeth. Other hygiene doesn’t matter, but you only get one chance with your teeth. Just clean your teeth and you’ve succeeded, well done, very proud of you!!
Try go outside or do something stimulating. I know, I know, some days you can’t and it is absolutely okay to just exist, but a lot of the time I find I get stuck in a cycle of misery and I actually feel better if I get out and do something different, even just going for a short walk can clear my head a bit. If you live close to a town, watch a movie, go and look at flowers in a florist’s, go to a bookstore and browse. If you can’t leave the house, download a new app that can work your brain a little bit (Duolingo worked best for me.) There’s also plenty of mental health apps out there that may help!!
Open your window (if it’s not too cold), fresh air will help, even just a little bit.
Remember that it’s okay, you are okay. All you have to do is stay alive. That’s it. Nothing else matters. Just stay alive. You are so much stronger than you know, I believe in you, I love you so much and I am so, so proud of you. 💕💕💕
“Perfuma’s kingdom, Plumeria, is located on the front lines.”
“The Horde has set up camp in her terr–”
“Wait, hang on. Glimmer, did she just call her ‘Perfuma’?”
“Her name is Perfuma, yes.”
“Perfuma.”
“Perfuma.”
“We have to go rescue somebody named ‘Perfuma’.”
“Look, don’t raise a stink about it, okay?”
“What is is with you people and names?”
“Could we please continue with the briefing? I’ve been awake for two days dealing with this situation and I’m honestly running on fumes.”
“Please do. Frankly, this situation stinks to high heaven and I’d rather it be dealt with as quickly as possible.”
“I have wanted to do that for so long.”
i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.
