the fact that time passes and things change and people leave and you can only go back to a place physically and you will never be 14 15 16 again………….. i don’t understand how we are meant to endure that

The goal is never to have the mindset of being better than anyone or anything, It is to be better and healthier mentally/emotionally than my previous self.

Deeply inspired by the late and great Luci. You can find the progress shots and more of my artwork on my insta @dkayz_ If you haven’t read The Wicked + The Divine, you most definitely should, its addicting! Please do not edit or trace as it is an original artwork. I do not claim to be an official artist for The Wicked + The Divine, only a fan. Thanks! :)

If you're a creator and you needed to hear this today:

You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.

People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.

My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.

But don’t forget to love what you make for yourself. It’s hard when you rarely get feedback, creating for validation is the main reason we share the work in the first place.

I get hardly any feedback and I have come to terms with that. All of the feedback I get from friends is good, though. It does count, their opinions are valid even if they seem biased because I already know they love and support me 💖. I’ve gotten more negative feedback from family members than people on the internet, so I think that those silent likes from a few people I don’t know speak volumes.

This is exactly what I needed and I’m sure someone else needs to hear this as well , reblogging for you ✨

Covid-19 didn't just magically disappear. Don’t be a selfish asshole because you wanna feel cute or don’t feel like it. Please, just wear the fucking mask.

Self Portrait in progress 😘 
I’ve always loved drawing portraits, partly because Im better at it than imagining a new face all together. I decided to work on likeness because I have a theory that if you practice drawing features as close to the original as possible, than other imagined faces will start having different features as well instead of having “same face” syndrome. Maybe my style is more realism? still tryin to figure it out. I think the biggest obstacle Im having is blending skin tone because I usually do charcoal and pencil drawings when I do portraits and I cant seem to figure out how to make sharp edges without lines. Also mos def an old selfie 😅
Any tips are welcome :)

Go check out my art?

Anyone else listen to anime intros while they’re drawing? 😅
