My digital drawing!

with 46K brush strokes 😳🧐

Practice on pencil shadings with Batman

I'm not sure if this is proper hatching. Just imitated what I saw into paper rather than mindfully choosing the strokes. Need to learn more.

45K brush strokes! 🙂‍↕️

One of the drawings that took me the longest to complete 🫡

Natural strokes of beauty

Over the past 10 years, I’ve spent plenty of time eating fatty foods, and at one point I even started eating things I didn’t really like. Sweets have been my lifelong weakness, even though I hardly eat processed foods.

Watching videos of people who have suffered strokes is a wake-up call. I don’t want to gamble with my health and end up paying the price later. I especially don’t want to become so dependent that other people have to take care of me if I can help it. So it’s time to get serious again: exercise… read more

Another Grateful Glimpse of God’s Canvas

Standing amidst the harvest at Mt. Apo, I am reminded that life’s truest beauty lies in the simple gifts of creation. The fields, the soil, and the sky all come together like strokes on God’s canvas, each detail painted with purpose. This summer break is more than just a pause from routine, it is a… read more

Transform the image into a minimalist hand-drawn doodle illustration. Use simple brush-pen outlines with slightly wobbly, imperfect strokes. Reduce all details to cute, childlike shapes while preserving the main subject and composition. Naive sketchbook aesthetic, playful and whimsical character… read more

A Portrait of Us

He is a mirror of me, with a taller frame, just as I like, but beyond the surface, it's not the looks that drew me in. It was the gentle heart his parents spoke of, the kindness and understanding woven into his soul. We share midnight study sessions, a love for the color blue, and the quiet charm… read more

In a New Anime Situationship

I'm really enjoying "Golden Kamuy" so far. I love the buzzing of butterflies in the body when my days are gripped by a new anime romance. I totally just judge a book by its cover when browsing for an anime to watch on crunchyroll, only looking at the artwork 😋. That normally works actually, but… read more

different strokes for different folks

Just why?

Why paint in broad strokes like everyone is the same? I don't view everyone as if they're the same as my junkie exs or that everyone will only use me. Being nihilistic serves no purpose except to trap you in the same shallow pit you put yourself in. People change all the time and this means we will… read more

Afternoon cuddles and strokes with my girl

what song best describes you?

one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had was with my mother in early 2023, when I asked her: "Mom, what Brazilian song do you think best describes me?" then she thought for a moment and replied: "Aquarela, by Toquinho. Just as you have the imagination, the innocence and the colors… read more

Grieving a Relationship

I wrote a whole essay here at first, but I think the broad strokes are already oversharing. Someone I love isn't with me anymore, and while that might be for the best, it hurts, and that's okay. Sitting with that pain honours it more than distracting myself from it, especially given that part… read more

“Silent Gaze”

A hyper-realistic graphite sketch capturing the quiet intensity of a single eye. Delicate, layered strokes bring depth to the iris, while finely detailed lashes and soft shading create a lifelike sense of emotion and reflection. The balance of light and shadow adds realism, making the eye feel… read more

This is a variation of golden brown by the stranglers.

Multiple strokes up down. What you all thinking

🍾

The impossible became possible. 50 km, nearly 3 hours of rowing, and over 7,100 strokes. A heart of steel.

WORD OF THE DAY

Pencillate (verb): To express oneself in provisional strokes, to speak as though one’s words may later be rubbed vigorously into oblivion. In other words, speaking with a metaphorical pencil. Pronunciation: [pin-si-late] Etymology: I made it up 5 minutes ago. Here are some red flags that… read more

“Lost in Thoughts, Found in Lines."

Sometimes it’s not about posing or smiling for the camera. Bas ek moment hota hai — thoda tired, thoda calm, thoda real. Ye sketch wahi feel capture karta hai… raw thoughts, simple expression, no filters, no drama. Life ke noise ke beech jab insaan khud se milta hai, usi silence ko pencil ke… read more

Nothing like the morning breeze and the way the sun strokes the sea

The Strokes 🎶

Tsuki can't start her morning without listening to her favorite band 😆

Efforts of an artist

It all starts with a vision. The fire sparks. The fingers twitch. It begins as soft, tentative touches. Slow. Unsure. But purposeful. Gradually, the hands apply pressure. The strokes become bolder. Then comes the blurring of the lines. The skin starts to glisten. Things become slippery. After… read more

The Strokes ❤️

The strokes or arctic monkeys?

For me the strokes 100%

Damn poverty.

The Strokes are coming to Chile and here I am, so broke, noooooo.

THE ADULTS ARE TALKING🗣🗣🗣

I love the strokes

The Strokes - Reality Awaits (edited)

I keep on asking myself

Wny am I back a third time? No one was interested before I had my strokes and became a cripple

Breathe Beneath the Blues

Just like my other works, born from my palette that cannot contain my midnight moods and feelings that are witnessed only by the moon and stars, quietly watching me to express in few strokes and words. Life is unfair and will never be. I have reached the bottom rock and seems nobody understands.… read more

“Why do I only seem to attract men?”

For any guy who has ever wondered this: It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re unattractive. It may simply mean that the qualities people find attractive in you aren’t being communicated to women in a clearly romantic way. I’m under 170 cm, fairly effeminate, quite passive, and I care about fashion,… read more
