Lotus flower... these are one of my personal favorite flowers.

Cherry blossoms, or, as some people call them, sakura tress!

A snowdrop flower.

What are your fave flowers? I like lotuses, cherry blossoms, and snowdrops simply because of their meaning in Japanese society and their beauty...

So, the art class went OK. The teacher liked my art and said I was very talented... the other kids were in awe too XD I may cont., IDK.

#OnlyArtistsAppreciateTheseThings
1. We look at art from movie posters, animations, etc and whatnot and think, 'WOW DUDE, YOU ARE SO GOOD!" when everyone else is focused on the movie.
2. We tend to appreciate our science books that show the human body because they help us draw XD
3. We get excited over watching animes or hand drawn animations because " we can pick up tips".
4. While others ask, "what's the difference between these two brands of colored pencils?!", we have our preferences and if Mom gets us any other than (or gosh forbid, the WRONG TYPE, like normal colored pencils besides the watercolor type) the correct brand, we go haywire.

Like, comment, or share if you relate to any of these XD

Here are 2 challenges for you.

#GemChallenge2: Post a drawing of Rinji in your own style (or make an avatar using an app if you are "not good at" drawing).
#GemChallenge3: Try drawing something you usually don't do. For example, if you usually draw animals, try drawing a person, or vice versa!

(You can do both or either! Create your own challenges using the hashtag #[YourKSNickname]Challenge. I would love it if you accepted either of these challenges and posted your pic!)
