You should make a photo copy of the sketch and try out the colors you have in your mind on that, and if you like it, then go for it, but if not, you have the backup. That’s what I always do. I never color the original, I like to keep a backup. Plus, colored pencils tend to smear when mixed with graphite.

@whalekeeper

YES!!! DO!!!

Celarent

Those were terrible reasons to not teach. “Why does she work here if she won’t teach us anything?”

@whalekeeper

So you aren’t ugly. You just don’t care for my questions. *raises eyebrow* I shall have to guess. Scared of COVID? Hiding from the police? Part of a circus?

Did you agree to go out with any of these random strangers? Are you married? If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why?

I have a drawing of young Barnes and I might post it tomorrow or something.

@rae

Well, good luck!! And if it turns out badly, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad artist. <3

@mineralizedwritings
My mum says they’ll probably numb me, but that isn’t the same as anesthesia. I guess we’ll see. 😅

Why does it look like my post didn’t come through?

@mineralizedwritings Oh gross I didn’t know they could be that bad. I used to pick up slugs all the time as a kid to take them out of the garden. (I washed my hands afterwards of course.)

@rae

Yes, he’s flying around in the sky over the same yard Chase and Fel are approaching.

I love how Barnes avoids the question, and then both Cassius and Gabriel give full paragraphs about why they wear their masks. It cracks me up so much. 🤣

@rae

WOW!!!!!! So good! The expression!!!!!! That is SO Baron!! Yes, this is perfect!

Where were we… oh okay, I missed the last thing

To be clear, they are not much like me in any other way, and vice versa. Which I am very glad for. I try not to overidentify.

@loopylin

🤣 I love that. Ellie is relatable, especially with the over-sensitivity.

I’d say identifying with my characters happens with me as well, but lots of the time the traits are negative thought patterns I need to grow out of. The only cases where I can identify with actual mental conditions the characters have are Marcel, Lucille, and S…[Read more]

@theducktator

*stares back* So you’re ugly then.

[Barnes laughs]

*peers back at meme topic* Have you ever had a stranger ask you on a date?

“Yes. Multiple times. Maybe that counts as a response to your previous point.”

@whalekeeper

Real.
Ok but actually that’s part of how I got diagnosed with autism. I was writing Ellie so much and realizing how much I related to her, and at the same time noticing how many autistic traits she had. So I started getting suspicious and researching it and then I finally asked my doctor and now here I am.

@rae

Looks good! I say go for it if you’re deciding on a pose for coloring or something.

@loopylin

I’m now realizing I can’t think of any of my characters who don’t have any mental thingys, lol. Lois and Liko are probably normal? Idk

For real. A lot of the time I don’t realize a character has something until I’ve used them for a year or whatever. Then there’s a period where you question whether or not you have the thing because you…[Read more]
