February is here and I wanted to start the month with some artists and resources I’ve been inspired by!
Lecture on Illustrating by Dapo Adeola: a webinar on children’s literature, diversity, and representation.
Illustrating African American Hair with Vanessa Brantley Newton: this 2-minute mini tutorial packs a lot of punch! And as a bonus, check out her TED talk.
Cartoonist of Color: The Cartoonists of Color as well as Queer Cartoonists, and Disabled Cartoonists databases were created and are maintained by cartoonist MariNaomi as a way to spotlight marginalized comics creators.
