Please read the chart's introduction carefully before asking any questions. IMPORTANT: Mixed types (such as Filipinos) are not covered in these guides, SO DON'T ASK. The book version DOES include a discussion of the major mixed types, just to help you get on the right track. The book also has North Chinese as an extra type, and quite a few correction and extra details.

Sorry but I no longer take corrections on these tutorials so please don't bother. I can't accept any correction without cross-checking it with reliable sources, and as this was made in 2006, I no longer have the time or incentive to do that.

SOURCES:
I get frequently asked for the sources I used to gather this research. The nature of the internet is such that every time I have looked up my sources list since I made this guide, 7+ years ago, some of them have disappeared from the 'net, until the list was reduced to a single still functioning link. So I had better explain how it came together. Obviously, there is no one book presenting all this info, or I wouldn't have had to make the guide in the first place. The research was based on hundreds of small sources both off and online (in some cases from direct observation and asking tribespeople how they could tell other tribes apart), most focusing on just one type, or the difference between two types, or even just the beauty standards in one culture or the average height of the inhabitants of a country in the past decade, making it quite useless to list them. Some books I found online, such as The Racial Elements of European History (Hans F. K. Gûnther) and The Races of Europe (Carleton Stevens Coon) provided a framework for more in-depth research and cross-checking, and there was a specialized anthropological forum, DODONA: Human Biodiversity Discussion Forum, now defunct, that contained treasures of articles and photos, as well as frightfully knowledgeable people to whom I could ask direct questions. Sorry therefore that I can't provide a bibliography; the last remaining link of my list that is still active is this one: [link] .

If you've ever wondered how to draw people from all around the world, then =Cedarseed's tutorial Guide to Human Types part 1 will set you off to a great start. This is the first in an ongoing series to show you how to draw people of all different nationalities. Very well researched and presented, something you should definately not miss!

These are amazing -- I'm very excited to work on my ethnic characters to get them to look right (:

BTW- I noticed the three tutorials cover types of Asians, Africans, and Europeans. Does your book have one for Hispanic or Spanish origin nationalities?

`majnouna 3 days ago Professional General Artist

No, mixed types are not covered because they simply can't be. There are some notes about them in the book, but not the same kind of detail.

you can do a guide of half blooded americans and half blooded africans,theres too much diference between haitians,colombians,brazilians,centroamericans and northeamerican africans

Mixed types not covered.

Hi, do you mind if I ask several questions/clarifications, mostly concerning the Margid Native Americans that you have in this tutorial?

`majnouna May 4, 2013 Professional General Artist

I don't have any additional info that is not already shown here, but if it's to clarify something on the chart you can try

~papa-paparazzi May 5, 2013

Okay, here goes:

In your catalog you mentioned that females usually have a lighter skin color than males. Would that mean that instead of Margid Native American women having very dark brown skin, they would have dark brown skin instead? If not, what color would it be?

You said that they also have a small "eyelid slit". What do you mean by an eyelid slit?

In this Guide to Human Types and part 3 you talked about Asian and African fingers being "tapered" at the tips as opposed to being padded. What does that mean?

I also noticed that you didn't include information about their body, breast, face, eye, nose, lip, eyebrow, and hairline shape, as well as their amount of body hair. Is this because you either were not able to find that information or it was the same as what you mentioned in the General Asian section?

Is the coarseness of Asian hair just like the coarseness of African hair, or are there differences?

Thank you so much! I hope that isn't too many questions. I'm so grateful for all of this information because I've been looking for an anthropological resource like this for a while and it makes me feel secure knowing that this is the most comprehensive resource available for something like this.

- Yes, simply. Use the color groupings in the Catalogue of Human Features for related skin colors.

- The opening of the eye. When the eye is closed you can see it is a slit in the skin. If it's smaller, it means the opening is relatively smaller and the iris/pupil will appear larger than usual.

- Look at your fingers from the side, see how they're padded beneath? Tapered means they taper. As in, they just get finer near the end, without padding. I don't know how else to explain it.

- I found no info to contradict the general Asian description so go with that.

- Asian hair is (for the most part) completely straight, African hair is (for the most part) totally curly, so there's no real point in comparing coarseness. Not that I could do and describe in more detail without touching both.

Bear in mind this is, as disclaimed, an artist's guide, and though in simplifying excessive branching I made sure never to be misleading, it does not in any way claim to be a scientific anthropological resource.

~papa-paparazzi May 13, 2013

I hope I didn't bug you, hah.

~papa-paparazzi May 5, 2013

You didn't include information about breast, nose, lip, or eyebrow shape in the General Asian section though.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why the two hair types can't be compared. I thought coarseness was unrelated to hair thickness and curliness, or lack thereof?

I understand, but you said yourself on your website that many of your tutorials have grown to be of general interest.
