do you really think creating this blog and discussing racism will change anything? People are not willing to hear about it and no one cares tbh. You're wasting Your time, nothing will ever change
Asks like this are interesting to me for the number of assumptions that they make.
- That I think that I’m “changing the world” with my blog and that’s what I set out here to do, when in fact I’m using it simply as a space to grow and learn for myself as I grapple with issues anew post-awakening. I’m not here to “change the world” but to grow as a person through conversations, being called out when I fuck up and reading about issues that are important. But I guess that’s lost on people like this anon.
- That burying one’s head in the sand like an ostrich and not discussing issues is the best way to deal with them rather than confronting them directly. But honestly when has that ever achieved anything positive.. ever? Oh wait, wasn’t that what happened at the beginning of World War 2 in Europe and for almost a decade in Asia when World War 2 began there? Wasn’t that what contributed to the duration and magnitude of atrocities of the Holocaust and genocides in places like Rwanda and Bosnia? What the fuck does “not talking about” issues do other than make them worse? How stupid.
- That “nobody is interested” in talking about these issues, even as millions of these discussions take place everyday between people across the globe. But I guess by this they mean racist bigoted white people like them who can’t bear the thought that POC speak their mind and would prefer for me and other to get “back in our place, where we belong” (i.e. under his boot).
- That I’m “wasting my time” by talking about issues that matter to me and other people. Of course in your eyes it’s a “waste of time.” But then again, according to your IP info, you spent over an hour and half on my page for whatever reason reading about issues that you see purely as a “waste of time.” Who’s the one that needs to get a life, reprioritize and stop “wasting their time” then?
- “Nothing will ever change.” Has some progress not already been made? Are interracial marriages still illegal in America? Do we not have a black president? Is there a lot of work yet to do— YES! But this narrative of “nothing will ever change” is honestly just stupid and shows how incredibly ignorant you are of the historical record. Things have changed quite a bit already over the last century, and that was change led by people having frank conversations about these issues and standing up for what’s right. Things need to still change a lot. Will things be “completely solved” even in my lifetime? I personally am skeptical, but I do think that it’s possible that things could be better than they are today. But back to your dumbass “point”— what is this history you’re talking about? Like honestly I’m curious especially since history was one of my majors in college. Do you even know what history is? Do you even know what slavery is or that it happened? Let me help you, though, since you obviously have access to the internet: click me.
This entire ask is just stupid to be quite frank and so typical of how ignorant people can be.
Do you have any advice for someone who wants a simplistic style like yours?
Just…draw simple?
I’m not trying to sound cheeky, but honestly that’s all there is to it, as far as I know. If I had to go more in-depth into the process, it helps if you initially view everything in the most basic shapes and contours, with or without some exaggerations. Afterwards it’s up to you how little or how much details you want to accessorize your drawings with.
Not exactly an all-encompassing tutorial, but this should give you a good idea as to how I’d normally approach drawing. Hope that helps.
