Back again with another post with Sketchbook Entry #2!
Problem Girl
I quite like this character I made and she's heavily inspired by this fierce woman I saw in a mall a few days ago. She just exudes confidence that I can't take my eyes off her- just proved how attractive confidence is.
I made her tanned, or "Kayumanggi" in Tagalog, since I want some diversity in my works and also to raise awareness with Morena people. A lot of Filipinos think that the ideal beauty is white skin when we, Filipinos, are not naturally fair-skinned people- we live in a tropical island for pete's sake!
So to all my Filipino countrymen out there, be proud of your skin! Having fair-skin doesn't define beauty and being "Kayumanggi" doesn't mean ugly! Don't get brainwashed by all those whitening commercials or the outrageous whitening products in the market- being brown is just as beautiful as being white! There is beauty in diversity!
Ciao,
♥ Aly
