Self indulgent sketch of my favs. Of course, Leila approves.

I also approve, Leila! 🥰👍 (totally having a gigglefit over here)

RBOZ

Couldn't help myself 😆

Yes. Like, I feel like Leila knows--she knows it's Rip and Latla. Like girl: if you don't bless that holy union.

I have a question/critique: Is there a reason why you don't shade Leila and Latla darker in your sketches like in the color spreads? I find it disappointing that Tozuka, but seeing that you don't do it as well, I'm wondering if there's something my non-drawing 🍑 doesn't know. Is there a reason why it's avoided?

RBOZ

Oh I guess it's just an artist preference. I don't think it looks "right" if I darkened her skin in a black and white sketch. Idk...🤷‍♀️

RBOZ

She was crying, clearly touched back when that strange Cinderella play happened so... I think she does approve lol. Fingers crossed anyway.

J.A. C

okay. i guess i can understand that.

she’s not shaded darker in the actual manga soo. It wasn’t until the color version came out that I even realized she wasn’t lighter toned. And this is a black and white sketch soooooooo. Rboz does draw and color her the way she’s depicted canonically, dark hair olive darker skin, in other drawings. Just not ones like this.

Sammie Pittman

And avoiding is the wrong word. 🙄. The mangaka probably didn’t color her skin in darker like Tops because she’s olive skin toned. She’s a woman of color. Non white but her skin tone doesn’t warrant the darker shading. Why he chose that idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

respectfully, i appreciate the explanation that *RBOZ* already gave me a week prior and see no need to further this conversation, including the words i chose to use when i asked the question, with anyone else. it's great that we both like the photo, though.
