soooo i tried using a block brush and this is the result! i also experimented a bit with color and such. it was v fun! i tend to lean towards just blending everything together in one mushy mess but that leads to a mushy mess so i wanted to experiment with a harder kind of shading. there were still some mixing capabilities programmed into the brush, but they were by no means an airbrush. (i don't like digital airbrushes anyway but that's beside the point.) anyrate so i had fun! and of course even though i used a pretty normal skin tone even though everything in the face is colored with that skin tone, i had to go the extra mile with the color scheme and make the hair purple. that's just how i roll, y'all. also falling back into my procrastination habits ;w; haalllpp even though the most distracting sites are blocked i still find a way to get distracted and neglect my schooling i was doing so wellllll *cries* anyrate hopefully i'll be able to get back to focusing and then i'll have spring break so yey i'll be seeing hamilton in chicago!! so exciiteeedd!!! and also the blue man group and the chicago art museum bro it's gonna be liiiittttt and also likely going on a roadtrip to minneapolis with my best friend for her birthday so many exciting things ;w; i'm so blessed and i don't know why like i have food to eat in abundance and my parents provide for me and i have the opportunity to draw and read and get an education and just like i didn't earn this and i take it for granted but there's so much suffering in the world and just idk like i feel like i shouldn't have this life even if there are struggles, what are those struggles in comparison to world war one and two? what are those struggles in comparison to being in slavery and considered the possession of a cruel person who has the freedom to work you to death and beat you? idk man just like take a moment and maybe you really are going through something absolutely horrible but there are still so many things to be grateful for
