Explain insider trading and why it's illegal

[karlidraws]

I made a baby blanket for a pregnant woman at work and I went back and forth about it like “is this weird? To like hand make something for someone when we’re like friendly acquaintances not like bffs. God why are you so fucking awkward.” Anyway I gave it to her and she said she loved it and in the back of my head I’m like yea she’s nice and probably just humoring the weirdo. Well she texted me a picture this weekend of a scrunchy faced newborn at the hospital wrapped in the blanket I made her. And I’m like. Wow. She loved it so much she took it with her! To the hospital! To give birth! She wrapped her newborn it! I am just so filled with love and joy right now.

People will love the things you make them. Because you thought of them and you cared.

I can’t even articulate how much of a role model this man is to me

Hi everyone. I’m typically a very private person but I’m in need of some help. My father passed away and wasn’t found until days after his death. The police failed to do a wellness check until 2 days after requested which is when they found him. I want to have him cremated and have his remains split between myself and his two siblings. The money is to have him cremated, the most basic package for a zoom memorial, and the cost to travel in order to get his affairs in order. I’m a black disabled person myself dealing with multiple mental illnesses and so was my father. My mother is currently going through chemotherapy and my dog is sick with an unknown illness and we’re having to take her to the emergency clinic tonight. Anything will help. Thank you

ive seen some posts lately about drawing diversity with actually diverse features, aka instead of just having a black character, drawing the character with nigerian features or instead of just drawing a vaguely indigenous character draw them with features from a specific tribe/area and in any case i figured you might want to check out this site because its a world map where you can click anywhere and it’ll show you different human phenotypes based on region and really goes into showing many types of people. like im making a chilean character so clicked on chile and it showed me this

which pops up this and this 

its just a pretty neat website to really become better at diversifying and strengthening your character designs

Little nugget of advice that really changed the way I approached painting. When I started blending like this it was a real turning point for my art quality.

Forgot to add that lighting conditions and other variables in a piece make the hardness you want to choose somewhat variable. Drawing things like skin is more of a hardness range than it is a hard rule. 

Eheh…get it? Hard rule? (aaaaaaaaaand i’m done).
