    As an artist, I really do not understand how people have trouble with curls or drawing darker skin, when tutorials exist, brushes exist. If someone wanted a black model, I would be ecstatic to make it bc I think it's fun to draw something for other people and it gives me a chance to draw something different and practice for different hair textures. Artists are just making excuses and for what?

    • @zee_713
      @zee_713 Год назад +532

      No cuz right above you is a comment trying to excuse artist "not being comfortable doing black models" and their reasoning being the artist can be scared to get canceled for making the skin too light or dark. Like if you're making a model for someone, just check with the vtuber or commissioner on the skin color, if they're ok with it then it's not on the artist if people don't like it. They always wanna make excuses.

    • @TatianaCrosswicks
      @TatianaCrosswicks Год назад +249

      @@zee_713 True, true
      Honestly, an artist shouldn't be afraid of being cancelled if they're simply doing work for a client since things can be changed. I would ask specifics and give a few different shades bc I want the person to be happy with what they receive
      I guess I just don't understand fearing getting cancelled since I don't really care about cancel culture or anything like that

      @ackruhii32 Год назад +86

      this is a bit long so hope its coherent, but basically
      for me as an artist i find curls (generally any hairstyle) difficult to draw, as experienced as i am i find it easy to understand how it works but difficult to put it down,,
      as for darker skin, im somewhat dark skinned myself (pacific islander) but im so not used to drawing dark skin mainly because the art ive always seen when i was a beginner artist was white characters, i ended up getting so used to that that when I did try to learn drawing any poc like my own persona i found it difficult and ultimately didn't like how my attempt looked. Currently though I've managed to understand how dark skin tones and shading works (learned color values properly now that I'm more older and understanding of instructions ☠) and ive been using it more often, as for hairstyles im still kinda grey on that because I don't like how I draw it, it either turns out bad for me or the tutorials I watch and refs i use don't fit any artstyles I use. I'm considering letting my natural hair grow out properly and using myself as reference but I'd think this so far is improvement :3

    • @ackruhii32
      @ackruhii32 Год назад +69

      ​@@TatianaCrosswicks That's also another thing I USED to be afraid of but slowly im overcoming it.
      Normally I look online for references from OTHER artists that draw black characters but all I'm met with is someone (ngl its usually a white person) cancelling them for drawing the character wrong and stuff, makes other beginner artists feel insecure abt stuff like that and I really hate how toxic that side of the community is

    • @TatianaCrosswicks
      @TatianaCrosswicks Год назад +69

      @@ackruhii32 Yeah, sometimes I forget how toxic some art communities are, especially when someone tries to branch out if all you've seen is white characters or is just starting out
      One thing I will say as a white person who draws dark skinned characters and even have some of my own, experiment. Like you said, see what styles work best for you
      As for hair, I'm still working on it myself bc I don't want to feel like I'm using the same hairstyle for every poc I draw

      @@ANGELSFATALEFANATSY well the earlier you start, the more likely your following will be stronger/fuller by the time you turn 18. i'm starting right as im turning 18 so that when i am there, the success is there as well. it's all about your mindset though, and what YOU think you can accomplish. i wouldn't say don't start now, but i also wouldn't suggest starting now either because of the amount of toxicity in this community w/ poc alone. so i would suggest going at your own pace, because drama is almost ALWAYS going to be there.
      my vtubing channel is ReiriRei though, and i've already started gaining a following with little to know social media presence. you could always start off as a vtweeter and start from there to avoid hate, and racists. it's always the safest bet.

    As a black person. I've been trying to make my own models of the different races my characters are. The feeling of "getting it wrong" with skin tones is a real issue. But I have other races that I will be making sure I make perfect.
    It would be nice to see more POC models out there without the harassment. It would also be HELLA lovely to see more male vtubers. Which is what I'm working on currently. It's always females and RARELY any males because ig females get more attention with their "cute" voices, acting and men just...exist. I'd like to think both can make just about the same amount of views as the next guy

    Loved the reaction and the video does bring up good points about black vtubers. As a lantino who's been happy to see latinas like Reimu, Scarle of Niji and Ironmouse of VShojo and many others become popular, it makes me think it should be time for black vtubers become mega big, that was something that even Aaliyah agreed with. The fact that vtubers who are black don't get success is suprising. The fact some vt fans say that Tan Vtubers should be enough is dumb. Being Tan (asian, hispanics and some whites) and being Black is something very different and makes the idea that black people only can be tan very dumb. If many more black Vtubers join big companies like Hololive or Nijisanji or etc, it would probaly bring more and more people to join the fanbase and not feel left out. Also one major thing about enjoying the vtuber is to relate with them, and if more black fans could find a oshi like them in the aspect of Race, ethnicy or culture

    Even though I'm not black (I'm White/Japanese/Native American) I have wavy/curly hair when the humidity is high (and I live in a place where that is basically all the time). I wanted a model who had a similar hair texture and MY GOD. Every single artist I've commissioned defaults to straight hair. It's incredibly annoying cause even when I try to ask nicely if they could make it a bit curlier, THEY LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA. My boy keeps getting drawn with Anime Protag number 6 and it genuinely ruins the vibe imo. I'm sucking it up but I really wish I could find an artist who can wrap their head around the idea of wavy hair. I can because I draw, but sadly I don't do digital atm :///

It is truly sad how we are treated across many games, platforsm, etc. and to be honest it gets really annoying, then when i report them i get a warning on how i shouldn't scold them to not say that to people and ask for apologies and then the next day i see them in the same lobby doing the same thing they did to me the previous day.
