Same time, please don’t spam the little white fuel they had play Holly in the movie — she was just doing her job.
Yeah of course
Did you mean for your Alex Rider to sort-of look like if Holly Short had bleached-yellow hair? Because like I thought that was a take on the ending of ‘The Last Guardian’ before I saw the tags. It’s cool though!
I... Didn't?
Stop whitewashing Holly Short
I feel like I have to have this talk somewhere outside my head.
I, a 14 year old teenager of color, have always loved Holly Short.
She was described as powerful, with features like a hooked nose, and a dark skin, that made her beautiful. Things that I have always been insecure about, teased for, insulted for, were what made her beautiful.
The powerful woman, who fought sexism and always did the right thing, IMMEDIATELY became my comfort character.
I started to feel better about myself. Draw portraits with my favourite features in my self exaggerated in them. I loved my own features, because she had them.
And then, after reading the whole series and loving it, came the thirst for content. Content in wich, Holly Short, was always whitwashed.
So many fanart, official comics, covers, the goddamn movie! In all of them, Holly wasn't how i imagined her to be. The fact punches me every time. Her skin, her features, are FLAWS that people just prefer to erase from her character.
I still remember how sad i got when i first was raving to a friend about Holly and she said 2 my face how she thought she would be prettier if she were white.
Whitewashing Holly is basically saying the same thing.
Many may go, "whatever, who gives a shit about her color".
But things like this are what make teenagers, kids, like me back at the time, insecure and hating themselves because of simply simply being born the way they are born.
Some people aren't destined to have a happy ending.
Finally colored this! I loved experimenting with this textured watercolor brush, it turned out nicely:)
A bunch of crops cause im proud of the details:')
i think you really need to know that your art is so so so pretty 🥺❤️ you deserve thousands and thousands of notes for each and every piece you make because its all breathtaking!
(also, hope this doesn't annoy you, but do you have any advice for getting started on art? i've been trying it out recently, and i kind of suck but wanted to know if you have any pointers to improve. feel free to ignore this part if you don't want to answer, though! <3)
once again, i just LOVE your art OMG ❤️
Sjkhwkaaawjh
Thank youuu :'))💕💕
Oh and this definitely doesn't annoy me! If you want to ask anything that you think i have answers for, ask me!
For getting started on art, first thing i want to tell you is when it comes to art, never, EVER push too hard. Coming out of your comfort zone? Experimenting? Sure go for it. But don't overdo it. Don't traumatize yourself, Ive done that it sucks. Keeping your art fun, is what will make you improve on the long run.
You don't have to attempt a master piece every single day to improve, just sprinkle art around your life. Doodle things, draw memes, draw for your friends, do silly things with it, this will help you much more than you might think!
Also have confidence in your art, it's normal to think your art sucks I always think my art sucks too its an everybody thing ig,
But what i specifically mean is, don't draw shaky, short lines, go for many (lighter), stronger and longer ones till you find your forms! Don't erase every single thing that you find slightly unperfect, go on with it, some 'mistakes' are what make your art, art!
Lastly, the internet is your best friend, my mom is an art teacher, but i would def say most of what i know, comes from the internet! You don't necessarily have to watch long ass tutorials that are 1,2 hours or more, short art tip videos on tick tock or youtube here and there between your daily dose memes will do!
Basically, TAKE IT EASY
Some people aren't destined to have a happy ending.

Most people who lose a body part experience something called 'the phantom pain'
Wich is basically when the brain goes "you know what? Imma refuse this body part doesn't exist, gonna think its there, and right now, it hurts like LITERAL HELL"
