http://www.operationsports.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2048388501&postcount=55This is actually a larger question about why artists have trouble rendering black people. It's not universal, obviously, but even in comics, many many artists struggle with typically ethnic features for blacks and Asians. The problem is, the people that are good at it might not be good at anything else you need on a team or project, lol.
My personality type is that I always work on my weaknesses. Some artists prefer to cover their weaknesses and really be strong in a few areas. As a Panamanian/Black guy, I decided as a teen that I'd invest time into learning to draw all ethnicities.
There are so many butchered shape ups/line ups in comics it should be an art felony, haha.
