How To Draw Native People: A Tutorial/Reference Guide

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

How to draw black people by Peachdeluxe, & Black hair in depth by misslaney for mixed black Natives

How to draw East Asian People, a guide by Chuwenjie, for mixed Asian Natives AND because it includes a lovely tutorial on monolid eyes, a shared feature of Native people

get drawin!!

Sam writing band fanfics is golden 😂

So, I've noticed you're doing a lot of AUs, so since you're in the mood, I want to do this one, but I also want to see your version. 😆 So anyway... rock band AU. I am BEGGING you. Rock band AU. 🙏

Anon - I don't know if you were expecting this much but I HAD IDEAS and COULD NOT STOP!

Anyway, this is what I came up with!

Jody, Simon and Five are in a famous band called the Noisemakers where Five is just living their best life.

Janine is their manager.

Sara is their bodyguard.

Sam is the bands #1 fan who write 2011 Wattpad fics about being bought by one direction the Noisemakers. He wins a competition to meet the band and finds that Simon has read ALL his fanfiction (because Simon would read fanfiction about himself) it was funnier in my head.

Thank you!!

Hey does anybody in the Zombies Run gang know if it’s canon that Jody is asexual? I wanted to do some Ace pride but I was never sure if that was canon or not??
