I know white authors have a habit of describing dark skin tones with food or beverages and I don't want to do that.

Cocoa, caramel, coffee, etc. I'm not much of a fiction writer but I am running a dnd campaign with POC and don't want to be a stereotype lol

Edit: various soil types is a promising contender added by my partner

Take your time. I'm flattered that you would do this at all

Something I can do a lot quicker is landscapes. Characters are a bit more tricky but concept art for a location is right up my street. Buildings and trees are some of my favorite things to draw.

For this guy I'll probably do both a full body and a face closeup cause that's a face I wanna draw nice and detailed and i seems like a notable feature. Doing full body drawings i'm usually pretty vague with eyes and stuff. I can draw parts of the body really well but when doing the whole thing I end out getting more stylized
