Black people aren't black, they're Brown, Dark brown, Mahogany etc,.

White people aren't White they're Peach, Preach-Yellow, Deep Peach, Papaya whip

I'm Black... Who care if people use the word black to describe people of African decent. In that case, White people should be offended for being call white. We're all mixed people anyway.

please to get so defensive. im black and i enjoyed this video bcuz it did help in some ways. he's not trying to be racist, that is way he says things lyk "commonly," "generally speaking," and "tends to be" because he's just giving viewers a general sketch to use as a reference. its a very good video

Ty so much for this video, I'm a black artist and I mostly have a problem with shading when I'm drawing anyone of color it's hard to contrast sometimes.
