It Must Be Hard To Type With Those Wings ^^

Some Fifi's

Digital Pencil Sketchings

I’m just trying to get better about not policing my lines so much. I feel like it gets in the way of my enjoyment of doodling when I worry about getting the perfect stroke. 

I need to let myself be okay with laying down imperfect lines, or working with brushes that don’t give me just the most perfect taper or texture. ^_^

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend <3

All my love,

GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

(IMPORTANT UPDATE: Kosa will not necessarily pass on the 26th. It only has the support to pass in Senate, and we STILL HAVE TIME. That being said, time is of the essence.)

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

Reblog this post in every LEGAL way you can under the Tumblr guidelines with the appropriate tags. TELL AND TAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW, then add the tags to see below... and more if you can think of any complying.

Visit badinternetbills.com if you want to find a way to defeat KOSA. It WILL NOT take much of your time. Reblog with any other information or sources, too-- but make sure to reblog if you can.

Reblog if you support lgbtq+ content.

Reblog if you support questioning queer youth and/or abused youth getting the information they need.

Reblog if you support Ao3 and/or other sites that wholeheartedly preserve talentedly made media.

Reblog if you're going to repost this on other sites than Tumblr and spread the word across Twitter, Tik Tok, Pinterest, or elsewhere, alongside the link to badinternetbills.com.

Reblog if you think KOSA is unfair and shouldn't be anyone's problem -- including the adults ALL OVER THE DAMN EARTH forced to face the mass censorship it causes because "think of the American Children!".

Reblog if you support internet activism and Palestine.

Reblog if you hate fascism or censorship, and don't want actually serious and helpful conversations censored on the internet.

Reblog if you value the internet in any way at all whatsoever.

CHECK THIS PETITION, TOO! https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-kosa?recruiter=1331807538&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=sms&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf&recruited_by_id=57368c40-d0fd-11ee-98f7-2175430f819f&share_bandit_exp=initial-36809664-en-US

(Also, please reblog with at least "stop kosa" as a tag and not "kosa". I made the mistake of not adding just "kosa" as a tag...)

We won't let this stand any longer. Let's start a riot and get this trending.

Every Day’s a Good Day

Nothing spectacular here, but its still special <3

Bob Ross is one of my favorite people… I look to him for inspiration. I admire his positivity. And I see a lot of who I want to be in him. Not for his talents so much, although he’s an outstanding artist,  but for his patience, and his openness..his softness. His gentle strength.

I have had some people recently approach me,  send me emails, or texts..saying that they appreciate, or look up to my positive outlook or my attempts at kindness and, honestly I don’t feel all that deserving of that ‘admiration’ … I don’t even have a word I can call it that makes me feel comfortable. I sound boastful, but I don’t mean to be, really.. I’m only saying it at all because lately I have been very negative…frightened, and lashing out…curt and loud…bitter..and have just been very disappointed in myself.

I’m far from perfect, I’m far from good, but I’m trying…and when I really need help or direction, some way to put my life back on track, I try and look at Bob Ross.He always make me feel better. Not just emotionally, but … existentially.

He makes me feel better. like a better person… and I really want to try to be better for you all. Kinder, Warmer. Stronger.

I don’t know how much I have to offer, but I promise to be as positive as I can be, even in these not so positive times. We need positivity.

No matter what happens I want to be kind, and understanding, and loving, and forgiving, and I’m going to try. 

and I hope you’ll all be positive too ^_^ we need to be kind, all of us. For as long as we can, and then longer than that.

and so, that ends my little ramble, but I just had to say something, and draw a little something too.

All my love,

~FtK

and remember:

We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.

I took some liberties on the word ‘happy’ and went for a hungry shark instead. But she’ll be happy once she gets fed. ^__^

This little doodle is my favorite of the night I think. Thanks so much for requesting it @technochild89

All my love,

I feel like wanting things has been important to being happier for me

Digital Beast Doodle

Not much to say about this one ^__^ I was just a little bored and decided to sketch a Disney character instead of something in my usual simplified style ^__^ taking it a little easy this week after finishing up that Fluttershy animation, that one took a lot out of me ^^; Hope you’re all having a super lovely evening! All my love, ~FtK

Sorry this one took me a bit of time ^__^ I’m very particular about drawing Susie just cause I’m such a fan of @hernyart‘s work. If you aren’t following them you really should ^^

Thanks so much for your request @rubyfeathersblog

All my love,

Hows about just a Cuphead? ^__^
