@goth: yess exactly. It's been doing a lot better than it was so we are making progress.

I know exactly how you feel. I have a lot of wips I am sitting on just because I just don't know if I like it enough to finish it.
And i am also still learning to paint clothes so sometimes I am just unsure how To continue a piece.
Yeah I used to have a lot of perfectionism in me though i have mostly stopped having that mindset. though sometimes it comes back lol.

Sounds great! Charlie is one of my favorite artists.

@goth: it's all trial and error. current shampoo is probably weighing it down since it's just for moisture and eave in conditioner plus oil do that. but I have to use it up before I get the new one.

haha thank you. I have so many paintings I'm working on. hair I'd the hardest for me to understand so I need yo do some hair studies.

@goth: Yeah I figured professional. though my stylist is moving to Canada so I'm not sure where to even begin looking for a new one.

the best I can do is change my shampoo best for curls or waves. and then maybe get some curl styling kit. one that has gel, creme and a moose. my hair is wavy but I treat it like it's straight because I'm the only one with wavy hair. it's a lot of trial and error. but before my hair was unmanageable but I can now brush it without knots or tangles thanks to hair oil and leave in conditioner. now it's a bit...flat.

Oooo yessss. I was going to work on [This Piece]
Did it back in 2020-2021? but adjusted some of the colors. Sometimes i go back to my old 2020-2021 pieces to paint over and see
how much of an improvement i've made.

@goth: haha yeah. I'm too much of a chicken to bleach my hair. I wouldn't even know where to begin but for now I'm just trying to get it looking less flat.

I think so but I'm just getting one from garnier because they have one I've been keeping my eye on. my hair isn't super dark so I just want to see how it looks

yeah it's been ages since I last updated my galley lol.

@Alexia: as much as id love to just do it, its not quite that simple in my situation.

I probably won't be getting on disability. if I get diagnosed at all I honestly don't want to end up wasting money for a lot of misdiagnosis. which happens a lot with females with adhd. and in my state ill be lucky to get a correct one at all.
my biggest disability isn't even counted as a disability at all because it's not physical. I'm also not sure if I want to be taking medication for it yet.

I dont plan on a roommate as my family have Been my roommates and I just need my own place alone lol. having to cook for people more than 1 person right now is kinda driving me crazy.

I'm planning to drive it's a matter of if someone will teach me. my family drags their feet on everything. I'm very close to my family but they are way too negative.

my biggest obtacle is just making enough. I can't get a job outside of art so everything is up in the air lol. my family is a little controlling so it may sound how I can easily do things, but it's not as I'm going from dependent to independent. it's just going to take a lot of work on my part. and I have to basically hide things from them because I'm so sure they will disagree on me moving out. but I'm always getting criticism for my clothes, my job, my sleep habits, etc.

@Stinky: it's not all bad. I usually get nice comments. only that video I got a rude one. but must mean people are seeing my work more.

@goth: haha yeah same. Oooo that'll look nice. I'm thinking to dye my hair a ginger orange or copper tone. without bleaching it. though might be a while lol.

aww thank you! I still need to edit my gallery here for my newer works.
oooo nice! I just love vibrant colors so been studying it more. I have more updated samples on my website in my siggy.

@goth: Ikr?? I do not understand what makes a person be unnecessarily mean or cruel to people online. Like I don't get it.
my mom always taught me if i have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all and I still stand by that XD

Oh no. Hopefully you can get some soon to get a different hair color.
I still need to dye my own. I haven't dyed my hair in like 4 years.I am stuck at brown with my natural hair color. Though right now i am figuring out how to get my waves back. Only now realizing my hair is not straight lol.

Haha yesss! I am hoping I can draw them tonight at the very least so then i just need to color them.
my painting technique is usually all over the place but i keep in mind the makeup contour placements which help. XDD
but the challenges are very cute!

@goth: I was so surprised someone felt so ill towards my art they'd just write a rude comment.
I usually don't get that many comments, so the fact someone just had to tell me their opinions was interesting.
I ended up deleting it just because i didn't want to give them any attention.

Ooo, is there a specific color you're going to dye your hair?

I have about 4 draw this in your style challenges to do.
I've been learning painting and never really tried to paint one so I was going to test my painting abilities.


@vaudevillain: Haha thank you thank you

Ooo fun! Sounds like you got a fun week ahead!

So a little joke about "making it" as an artist as I've now received rude or mean comments on my art over on YouTube.

I've officially made it as an artist

Hope everyone's weekend has been good!
anyone have plans this week?

I mostly need to survive the heat wave and work on 4 different art challenges.

I'm going to try to remember to play honksi star rail. Other than that I have a lot of footage to edit to post up on my YouTube channel as shorts for wip art drawings and to upload as regular videos.

hoping I can also figure out current painting project palette.

sometimes I just pick a subject to paint or draw off pinterest, put on my fave show or Playlist and just tune out my own thoughts.

it's not always easy but it's very therapeutic for me when my stress and anxiety is at it's highest.
