not the grey washed dark skinned character. Webtoons/manga/anime. They continue to kill me with these weird skin tones for people darker than a light tan

    There are many shades of brown, but for some reason people who are not of color just draw us different shades of grey, and a hint of brown (if we're lucky). We have ranges of warm and cool undertones just like everyone else as we have blood vessels and light reflects off us. Some people of color (amongst subgroups of indian, countries of africa, american, african, etc) may more hollow undertones. But I don't think these artists are doing this on purpose. I prob over-explained. But it's a bit of a strife amongst the black community as this happens in make-up tints and representation!

    These countries are quite closed-minded about this so yeah it's intentional, the artist doesn't want to lose his main audience for that
