fun update! for past month or so, i’ve started doing (mostly..) consistent sketches every other day in my sketchbooks for the first time in years AND!

MY FACES R CHANGING A LOT! it feels good.. like i actually know how to. draw a head now LOL and the style change hasn’t been as scary as i thought i would be

originally, i started doing it as a joke bc i told my friend “yk i’d probably figure out how to draw real good if i just. practiced everyday or so for 7 weeks.” and then he was like “ok. so do it”

so anyways here’s how much i’ve drawn since then (far left book i started at halfway point, far right i am 3/4 done)

2/7 weeks done!! yay

i don’t rlly work well with like. Grind Method, i’ve only been able to draw this much because the pages are small in size and i’m doing everything quick with pen and sharpie. Also! it’s just rlly fun to me! it’s not a chore, i just like drawing and i like feeling like i’m learning :’3

whatever that’s my diary entry for the day, happy holidays !

i think my style is shifting these days away from what ppl usually recognize it for but that’s ok with me

a lot of the habits i picked up that looked nice aesthetically were rlly hard to replicate bc my foundations wereeee SUPER WEAK (ie faces… ppl compliment them but i promise u i used to only post the ones that turn out nice and that’d be like. 10% of the time. and it’d take hours)

i’ll b a lot happier being able to consistently draw Nice faces quickly and repeatedly rather than one WOWWWW face every 3 years, yk

Israel has worked hard to portray Gaza as a barren wasteland, backwater that is a terrorist stronghold. In reality, Gaza is a beautiful city/region with a rich history that has been decimated from constant bombings and strangled by the blockade. So much of what is being destroyed by Israel are restaurants, bookshops, schools, universities, houses and much of what contributes to life in Gaza and people’s livelihoods. Places that are attached to and filled with the memories of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s not just about making life miserable for the people who live there, but about projecting a particular image of Gaza to the world. This is also similar to how the US has portrayed places like Afghanistan to justify its invasions.
