How to Draw Native People: a Tutorial/Reference Guide

As requested, here is a basic guide for how to draw Indigenous peoples (mostly focused on North America)! Also please note that this is not an exhaustive list of Native American phenotypes/features, and more like an intro on very common features that can be found in us, and even then, not altogether at once on a single person’s face. I highly encourage the use of references and care taken into research when drawing. I may do a part 2 that goes slightly more into depth, but for now, enjoy part one.

Resouces:

How to draw Native Skin tutorial (don’t draw us red!)

List of Native American Celebrities, which include their tribe(s) and home country, with 1,250 names, to use for your referencing pleasure

the eye when jon disappears into the tunnels and is out of its sight, seconds from making an intercom announcement like a mom who loses a kid at the mall:

Oh! This is actually quite interesting. I’m pretty certain the reason your brain ignores the second “the” is because when reading, it only processes the words that are crucial to understanding the sentence. It skips the second “the” because the article does not affect the meaning and it would waste time and energy to process the word. I believe it’s similar to how your brain chooses not to process your nose in your field of vision. I’m no expert, though, this is just from what I’ve personally researched.

"It's Not Over Until the Mockingjay Sings."

"I'm a couple of days into the plan, making good progress, when something unexpected happens. I begin to sing. At the window, in the shower, in my sleep. Hour after hour of ballads, love songs, mountain airs. All the songs my father taught me before he died. [...] My voice, at first rough and breaking on the high notes, warms up into something splendid. A voice that would make the mockingjays fall silent and then tumble over themselves to join in." - Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay (pg. 376)

In which Lucy Gray Baird comes as an apparition to Katniss in her sleep. Set during her solitary confinement after killing Interim President Coin, thus ending the cycle of tyranny in Panem.

***Content Warning: Fictional depiction of blood stains/ bullet wounds under the cut*** Unfortunately I'm a Lucy Gray Baird was killed by Snow truther :(

Edit: Redid this piece since there were some parts of it that I wasn't completely happy with, but I love how it turned out now :)
