Cheryl Lynn on "Black Hair, Comics and You"

Cheryl Lynn of Digital Femme (and The Ormes Society) has a detailed and handy cartoonist's guide to black women's hairstyles, from relaxed hair to braids and twists and afros and dreadlocks. Here's her intro:
If you have been sent here, the likelihood is that someone asked you to draw a black woman at one point and you completely screwed it up. I kid! I kid! Seriously though, I'm here to help. Together, you and I will go through some of the most popular hairstyles for black women. Never again will you have leagues of black women giving you the side-eye and bitching you out in blogs. Ready? Let's go!

Hopefully some of the mainstream comic book artists who have been annoying her lately will read her tutorial and wise up.
