It’s a Korean person trying to draw an anime style African-American. The author of Eleceed avoids this by making every dark skinned person, gray toned, purple tone, literally black tone with white hair… all kinds of not-natural tones, maybe with purple and blue hair? Yeah, there’s plenty of dark tone people, but no African-Americans or other actual ethnic groups with dark skin. The only plus from this is there’s not an overwhelming light skinned majority. Although it is still the majority being more than half, but then it does take place in Korea mostly…
Someone teach Asians how to draw other ethnic groups please!
It definitely depends on the setting of the story of course. Like, it’ll make sense to see more asians in Korean manhwas since the settings are usually in Korea, so what you said isn’t for all manhwas out there. This one definitely needed it though since he visits a lot of different countries and meets different ethnic groups lol
nah I said what I said. The korean entertainment scene has pulled from the black hip hop aesthetic too much for them to still be pulling the lack of familiarity card. If we can get dope looking black characters in anime (fire force and gachikuta), an artist can be bothered to figure it out for a few frickin panels in a chapter of a manhwa.
Oh, I’m not trying to excuse them – I’m actually ranting about the crazy lengths they’ll got to just to avoid it. Their inability, or unwillingness, (either way) to learn how to draw other races kinda pisses me off. I’m more or less pointing out how it’s cultural over there. They’re not going to learn it.
what in the messy cornrow and boho loc wig hybrid did I just see? Maybe if I didn't know textured hair procreate brushes are a thing, I wouldn't be so disgusted.
