If I'm drawing a group of people of the same ethnicity, I usually reference foundation swatches known to cater to that group of ppl well. I'm not sure if this is a 'tip' that would be helpful to anyone else? I also use LOTS of photo reference.

Can we please get this trending beyond Canada? Canadians think this is an American problem. They kicked out a visible minority in parliament for not apologizing for calling a racist a racist when the racist said nothing should be done to protect Black and Indigenous ppl

budding illustrators need to remember that they don't need to appeal to EVERYONE. Focus on what you want to do. Do that well. Find the people who will hire you. Reach out to them. Reach out to them again. Share your work on SM. Make more work. Reach out to em again.

Being aware of the serious effects & spread of COVID 19 and reacting calmly to it is not mutually exclusive. I go back to this: if you panic you put ppls lives at risk. If you don't take the proper precautions: you also put lives at risk.
