What's Bothering You?

I found another artist who makes really beautiful and adorable Fire Emblem fan art and also some random Hubert artwork whom I have no idea who they belong to or if they belong to the same person (there were several I found on the website). It makes me happy and in aw and at the same time depressed when I look at what I can only create and the lack of quality. At the same time, maybe this is good since it can be seen as a way of testing my interest and how committed to improving I am (then again, having no money may make it impossible for now or at least trying other coloring and drawing tools or going digital. 🤔).

I can give you the immediate tip for art that as long as drawing makes you happy then it doesn't matter how "good" or "bad" you are. Even just enjoying the activity is enough of a reason to keep drawing.

It also definitely isn't impossible to improve with lower quality materials. The more you draw the more you'll learn the techniques on how to use your tools! Those same skills you learn will be just as useful when you eventually do save up enough to upgrade. As a final tip when you do decide to upgrade your materials remember that you don't always have to go for the most expensive stuff. My personal favourite set of coloured pencils cost me about 25 euros and it remains my favourite to this day.​
 
I feel overwhelmed with ideas to model. I want to try and make it fun with my own style but I also need to prioritize what looks good on a portfolio :c

Thanks so much for the tip and taking the time to reply :).

I definitely am having a lot of fun drawing regardless of these doubts I’m having and I am going to keep drawing for now since it has been a great stress reliever and fun trying to get some of my ideas on paper.

I didn’t know that was possible. Thank you :). That is very encouraging to hear in fact.
 
omg im happy but this is so nerve racking ;-; I didn't think I'd even get considered for an initial interview but I get so nervous for them ahhh
 
This classmate I have never met in person won’t stop asking me for help with their homework. I’m taking an online college statistics course and I reached out to a person seeking help a month ago to try and be nice and helpful. After all, maybe they could help me too. Wrong. At first, I tried asking them for help but to no avail, they either haven’t done the homework yet or have no idea how to do it. Now it’s been EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I wouldn’t mind if it’s maybe 1-2 problems every now and then but no. I have been getting maybe 15 photos of questions and long strings of text messages for these past few days. I even tried helping them how to apply the knowledge but they keep asking me for answers and they‘re not even trying. Now they’re going so far as to ask with how to do their quizzes. No thank you. I’ve been trying to sound vague with my availability but they end up double-texting and I can’t help but to oblige. They sound nice and they’re a bit older than me but the only thing that didn’t sit right with me was “My boyfriend is taking me out to dinner. Enjoy your Publix xx” (Publix is a grocery store chain where I live and I told the that I just came back from the store) It just kind of sounded stuck up to me. I’ve had it. I really hate confrontation but I don’t like being used like this.
Edit: I blocked them. Hopefully I won’t get any messages from the actual website since they can still contact me there...

i hope the future is as bright as i hope
 
My new Joy Con shells were supposed to arrive 3 days ago. Yesterday I got a mail, saying they are sorry, but there was a mistake and that instead of delivering it to me, they forgot about it (it was in the delivery car already).. and today it's back on "Arrived at distribution site".. I really want my new Joy Con shells and I'm worried it will get into a loop D;

Also, don't make me pay for 10-day shipping, if it takes obviously longer :mad:


EDIT: Oh, it just arrived 🤣

lol even just texting my boss to let him know I want to use my company car to travel almost gave me an anxiety attack, like I got a headache and felt like I was going to throw up. I tried to explain to my mum earlier what I've been experiencing but she didn't seem to want to listen. She always says to ring her when I'm upset, but it's no use when she doesn't understand anxiety at all. My dad has panic disorder, but even then he doesn't understand either (nor does he listen). What's even the point of trying to reach out or not bottle things up when no one wants to hear it or understand? Hence why here is my only outlet, and even then it feels that I'm talking to a brick wall.
 
Good job Firefox removing like the most essential tool, view image info...wtf. Y'know knowing the actual size was nice and stuff.
 
I just woke up to give one of my cats her medicine and to go to the bathroom and, before I woke up, I was having a nightmare or bad dream and one of my late cats was in it; now I miss her more than I already was missing her. :( I’m going back to sleep now and hope I won’t dream or the dream isn’t scary. Also my cat was bad as usual when I gave her her medicine; I have a feeling I’ll find them on the floor later 🤢😓.
 
I STG I better not have Covid AGAIN due to the carelessness of a coworker AGAIN. Just found out today a coworker has it, after I've already been feeling like the past few days like I have a cold. I thought it was just my period but it may not be.

*Different job but still

Also I think I smell like dog ****. A dog had explosive diarrhea that got on me (not his fault, he's a sweet boy) but there's speckle stains on my pants still.
 
Well today isn't a good day in my neighborhood, so I'll just Spoiler tag the story because I don't want to offend/scare anyone
So I'm not sure what started it, but there is a shooting in my neighborhood right now and I'm scared. I'm in the basement along with my family for safety. Yeah, I'm not sure why this is happening but this is not good. Luckily no one is hurt, but we're still down here for safety. Now, I always have known my neighborhood is bad, but this is beyond anything I've experienced. I just hope I'll be ok by the time whoever is shooting is done.
Also, if I don't make it, feel free to have all my collectibles and tell my friends that I'll miss them in heaven 😭

Work accident ramble.

It's been a week since I was in an accident at work and it's still giving me anxiety. I drive big trucks that carry containers on the ports property (just like a semi-truck but fully automatic) and I was stopped so that a crane could lift the container off my back. Except somehow the can hit the back of my truck and my whole truck shook and the back had a big gash in the metal. Neither the crane driver or I was injured but it gave me lingering anxiety even a week later.

This is my 3rd accident at work in my truck but the last 2 accidents were deemed not my fault in any way, but it's still scary cause so many of my coworkers have been injured or died. Accidents are so normal that my foreman asked why I bothered to make a complaint about the accident. My whole truck was damaged and I thought I was doing the right thing. It's just cause it happened in the last 15 minutes of the shift, and because of the accident my foreman had to stay late to make a report. All he cared about was leaving on time and I could have been injured. I never wanted to be a longshoreman but now I'm stuck for financial reasons.
