No matter what they say, you are who you are…
…and you are beautiful…
…and I’m proud of you ♡
Rather than drawing your character standing there doing nothing over and over again, here’s 100 other ideas to put them in action and challenge yourself as an artist.
know what’s wild? that the trope of like “my father always wanted a son so he treated me, his daughter, like a boy” is so popular and like lowkey loved, but if you ever saw a mother who talked about how much she wanted a daughter instead of a son, or if she treated her son like a girl, like??? people would think she’s awful and that poor boy??
damn wonder why that is 😒
you do realise those "straight men that think they're lesbians" are the ones that invented pride marches?
The first Pride Parade got organized in November 1969 by Linda Rhodes, Arlene Kushner and Ellen Broidy. They were all members of the Lavender Menace, a radical lesbian feminist group.
Nice try tho.
This challenge is made with an emphasis on human anatomy in mind because this is something I really want to improve on. Each week, I will make a post with references I find for the theme to help get everyone started. :D
Here, you can find all the reference lists I’ve made.
Your job, if you wish to join me, is to practice drawing the topic for that week. It can be doodles, sketches, an art piece that focuses on the theme, or whatever else you can think of.
Please join me in figuring out how to art, and tag your work each week under “50 weeks of arting” so we can find each other’s art and keep each other motivated yaaay :D
