Anyone else have an outfit that makes them feel like a minecraft dirt block?
Excited to say this piece will be featured in the next @belovedzine !! The theme was renewal and I want to show the importance of how a partner can help in self-acceptance and help you both thrive.

Hey everyone!
The carrd I made inspired by this post has been updated a lot, I think you should check it out!
In "extras" you can also find a health section with a couple of recommended stretches artists should really be doing on the daily.
Look after yourselves! ☀️
Hi! No one asked but I wanted to make a big list of art resources I use because I like to try and help people be creative! Not everything I list is free (mostly the books & some PDFs), but I’ll try my best to keep a big portion of it unpaid.
I've also made a carrd with the same links and a set of software links + prices but I'll be updating this with more things I find that I think would be helpful. :)

This painting’s been in the works for 2-3 years, mostly because I was intimidated by it, but I’m glad it’s done now.
