"Racist", "Entitlement" and "Objectifying" are words that are used so often that have lost all meaning at this point in time, but the first word is what i am interested for today.

I will like to know how to draw a black person properly and i want you to show me the best and worst examples in Anime/Comic Books/Etc of black people that you can share your opinion about.

I want to know this because i am supposed to make a drawing of a person that has features of a white person but the color of his skin is black, that i am afraid it will look like a blackface.

My template to have a point of reference (at the moment) is to have someone similar to the badass priest Enrico Pucci from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Unfortunately, because that series is not well know, i am not even sure if his proportions are alright.

I would draw a black person the same way I draw anyone else, i.e. terribly.

But on a serious note, it doesn't matter so long as you can tell the person is meant to be black, and its not done in some derogitory manner (I don't exactly know how you could use skin color in a derigitory manner, but hell).

If its black and white, Id draw them like a black person but wouldnt shade them as that takes too much time and Id have to be consistent.


but I like how masashi kishimoto does it



If its colored, well I dont color

Black obviously.

I'd also add fried chicken in their hands to add effect.
