Black characters references

Hello everybody! I've been thinking about making a web comic with characters from different ethnicities but I realized that I don't have a lot of references of black people in manga/manhwa. I was hoping that you could give me some recs so I can focus on the art part and not end up with a white washed character I can color diverse skin tones just fine but since I plan on making it b&w I'm not sure how to approach it... For characters with lighter skin tones you usually just draw the outline but that won't work here. I can study facial features by myself but color is a different deal for this particular style.

Thank you in advance!

Black characters references [Answer]

Witch Hat Atelier is a great manga with some dark skinned characters that don’t look insulting. Jujy is the only explicitly black character I can think of, but some of the others have tan or dark skin of different shades too, like Custas, Alaira, and Hiehart. Not to mention the whole series is just fun to read anyway, so I’d give it a shot! 1 reply
