this is a good question! number one: take notes on how black ppl draw themselves! a lot of black ppl naturally have fuller lips and there are ways to draw them without them looking like caricatures! as an example, here's how i drew a redesign of Samus, giving her 1/ @babie_fluff https://twitter.com/Theclassicsin/status/1327759626817957891
fuller lips without it looking like a mockery or caricature of her black features (also peep the incorporation of her blonde hair in a creative way!)
i draw tons, and i mean TONS of thiccer characters both furry and human/humanoid, some that can even pass as like "typical bimbo features" and here's a quick example of how you can draw a black bimbo respectfully: meet Cutie!
what can be noted here with her design is that while I've (very quickly) given her the signature tits, hips, and lips of a bimbo it's done tastefully, not over exaggerated to the point of caricatureism (idk if that's a word)
and here, im pushing it to a logical extreme but still, i've not /over/exaggerated her to the point of becoming a caricature!
there's nothing wrong with giving us big thick lips, we just naturally have them! the problem is with bimbos, it also feels like...a mockery that more often than not, non-blacks are taking our natural born features that we are often mocked for
to represent us, ya gotta love us!
to represent us, ya gotta love us!
do studies and practice looking at black women and build from there! not only will it make your black ocs more authentic, but it can help you in your drawing of your beautifully big-lipped bimbos too! /end thread!
