Excited
Here’s a list of the reasons why this video is so wrong:
- There is no one way to draw an Asian woman.
- Upturned eyes? Small nose? Beautiful, big and full lips? Really?
- According to eHow, people were genuinely asking how to draw Asian women.
- She’s not even wearing a kimono.
- I’m kidding about that last one.
- This guy is a horrible teacher. He doesn’t even describe what he’s doing or why. There’s a small glimmer of hope in me that perhaps he doesn’t explain what he’s drawing because he’s realizing how racist it can sound. Instead of “slanty eyes”, he just calls them “beautiful”.
- This guy is even worse at drawing. If that’s what he thinks Asian women look like, then he’s never met one of us before.
- Unless that was his point: there really is no way to teach someone how to draw Asian women.
- Then why did he agree to do this video?
- Now I’m confused.

There is a way to draw any woman...but only individually! :-P
Still, many artists believe there is a way to draw yellow, black, white and red charicatures. I do not agree with it per se, but any cartoon, even modern, uses basic rules for drawing any ethnic group; hence we have ''white'' people drawn in Japanese cartoons and ''black'' people drawn in English cartoons. So, there are set rules that cartoonists use but to declare there is one way to draw anyone is (maybe not racist; that seems a bit strong) very weird.

How did he get to teach drawing when he can't draw to save his life? Asian-phile at work here...

Tien, that was absolutely breathtaking. The eyes, the hat, the red beady nipples, everything about that picture is an exact representation of myself and my fellow AA/PI brethren's. While I was contemplating paying $1348931057gil for this masterpiece I mistook my computer screen for a mirror and had to do a double-take realizing it wasn't just a reflection of myself but rather a wonderful work of art.
No but seriously, at 1:22 I thought he was drawing a scarf.
