Watch in HD! it really makes a huge difference :D

i have this kind of weird thing that happens with me: i loooove to draw, and i know i'm absolutely TERRIBLE at it.

my husband actually completely disagrees with me and thinks i'm pretty good, but i personally know that i just don't know how to use colors together, i don't know how to do shading or calligraphy ... i don't even know what you call it? the words on it? the script? i don't even know the lingo. but i do have a strong message that i try to get across with my "artwork".

i like to draw about girl power, and i like to draw people that are under or misrepresented. i was SEVERELY bullied growing up, and i wish that i'd had a book full of pictures that taught me how to - and that it was OKAY to -BELIEVE in myself! because back then all the grown-ups i was surrounded with had no clue how to teach a little girl how to be brave and okay in the world. and because i was raised like that - i STILL have a hard time believing that my personal feelings are valid.

​so, i like to draw people being validated, and i like to draw people being brave :) it might not be good, but it makes ME feel good, and validated, and brave!
