My guide on how I draw punjabi people (1/2)

#arttutorial #artguide #drawingtips
"[South Asian + Southwest Asian Features] Please note this is not a comprehensive list! but rather a compilation of what I have observed while drawing and within my own family. I am punjabi, most punjabi people are from north India + Pakistan and so they have both South Asian and Southwest Asian features. Because of this, we can look very diverse! (the image shows two faces with varying features and a check mark next to both) Both arew punjabi. The left has more southwest asian features while the right has more south asian features. [Deep-set eyes] (The image shows a set of eyes, one with double lids and one with triple lids. An arrow points to the triple lid.) I have this one. Many SA + SWA people have naturally deep-set eyes. This results in very prominent eyelid creases above AND below. Deep set eyes are also called "hooded eyes" because the upper skin tends to droop down over this space. (A comparison drawing is shown of a face in side profile with shallow set and deep set eyes. Another diagram shows the eyeball in the socket and the skin around it with the fatty upper eye area puffing out slightly.) Colours. A palette of colours is shown in a row, next to them are the labels "skin, eyes, hair". Below is a table of eyes and eyebrows displaying various combinations. Three are labelled "My dad" "My cousin" and "Grandma (Dad's Side)" respectively. The next row says "More examples I have seen." Although dark brown eyes are the most common, other eye colours show up too. [hyperpigmentation] Hyperpigmentation is when areas of skin are darker than the rest. Many SA + SWA people experience this, those with light AND dark skin, especially around the eyes in the form of dark circles. (An illustration shows eyes with and without hyperpigmentation.) Because many people already have deep set eyes that are shadowed, the result often makes the surrounding eye area quite dark. A lot of comments about if I sleep enough or that my stare can be a little scary or just a bit intense. (A diagram shows eyes labelled "bare" and "applied", one without any makeup and the right with black makeup in the waterline.) Traditionally wear black eyeliner (surma/kajal/kohl) for special occasions or as a medicine.

Another class, another random set of characters ill never draw again
A red gecko snowboards down a snowy hill. Three geckos behind up cheer 'we wuv u!!'. A second picture of the red gecko on crutches with a broken leg. A third picture of him on a recliner, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa thinking "oh. maybe relaxing is okay?" a drawing of a shitzu wearing a pink and purple dress and a crown. she is shouting your cooking is gross!! at a small dog in a chefs cap. the small dog says forgive me princess. In a second drawing, the small dog is rolling out some dough for some dog biscuits. the princess cheers him on in the corner.

The dog Jake from Adventure Time painted on a retaining wall. He’s wearing a brown sweater and red earmuffs or headphones. To the right in black text is pained “what shape is your soul?”
