Thanks. I've got loads of ethnicly diverse character in my folio. I illustrated a few titles for Tamarind books over the past 10 years.

I noticed! Β It's good to see. Β Part of the objective of our group is to bring overlooked ethnicity (specifically Afrocentric ethnicity) into the mainstream a little more. Β I applaud your effort!

If I'm honest, it's not a conscious effort. It's just how it comes out.
I come from a very rural area in North Wales. There aren't many varying shades of skin colour around here other than the lads who work in the local Indian Restaurant, for no other reason than how remote we are. However, I'm a huge movie fan. Always have been from a very young age. I'm used to a world of different races through the movies, but being from a smaller area, there has never been any issues over race bias, like there is in cities. I've never seen the point of issues due to how people look or where they're from. If anything I find it more interesting meeting someone who isn't like me.
So I naturally add different races to my stories as a reflection on how I see the world. Publishers saw that and took me on for that reason. I just present the world around me. Well. The movie world around me. If it was the actual world around me it'd be mountains, lakes and rough seas with more sheep than people, ha ha.

I'm right there with you. Β I only knew two black before the end of high school, when I moved away from my home town. Β Up until then, I mostly drew white folks and Native Americans (coz those were who lived in my area, and I tend to draw from what's around me). Β Then I moved to a university town, and my racial diversity in my work just exploded! Β ^^
