Like TVTropes, Springhole, and Wikipedia, an author could spend hours following one link (Black Panther Fanfic Writing) to the next (Bad to have a Disabled Love Interest?) and the next (Baby Banks in an Infertile World, Eugenics and Racism) into the wee hours of the morning, only this one is tailored specifically to people who want their fiction to have as much positive impact as possible on ...
No, but you don't tend to describe yourself at all in real life. Even if I were to, say, describe myself to an internet friend who hadn't seen me, I would probably just say I was pale, not get into the details of my skin tone - I just don't get a lot of sun In writing, if you want to describe someone, you're almost never going to be using words they would use to do it - you're using your own ...
This tutorial makes me think a lot about not just writing and describing, but also about the place where I am when we talk about POC, how growing up in a country where people of color are not something common (Like in the USA, France, the UK, more), but racism is, had affected my perspective and my creative world.
I recently learned that using food to describe someone's skin tone is offensive. I'm trying to find an alternative descriptor for my Hispanic male character. I feel bronzed, tanned, golden are overused and I don't want to use one of those descriptors. Any thoughts on how I can describe his skin tone. Thank you in advance.
But damn, look at the flawlessness of that skin! Chekhov's pen, Mar 8 , 2021 ... Separate names with a comma.
The main thing you want to do is to say the color of the skin, specifically, because not all Asians have the same skin tone. You also want to avoid calling any hair or skin by a food name, unless you're going to start saying white people have yogurt, tapioca, or Alfredo skin (see, it's gross). If I'm wrong on any of this, please correct me.
Her skin was bare and it was distracting them, mangled scars around her upper arms that reminded Kayla of fire. She was burnt by ropes of fire (good old magical injury) several years ago and has been permanently disfigured. It's significant to the story so various people check them out and feel guilt/disgust/sympathy etc.

I feel like Sonya could at least have a combination of north-eastern African and Asian genes to explain her skin tone and most of her facial features. I am stuck on that weak jaw, though. What race would be represented by the jawline? If I can figure that out, maybe I can hold off on changing the drawing for now! Thanks, guys!
