Anonymous asked: you're really talented wow. how long have you been drawing? did you get visual arts classes in arts school? the colors are so bright and the designs are so cute and pretty and they remind me a lot of you.
im not that talented but thank you <3 :)
i’ve been drawing since i was a kid. i can’t really pinpoint when i started. but i stopped when i picked up writing in middle school. recently ive been itching to draw again so i did.
i’ve never received any formal classes. my major was creative writing. people tell me i could’ve gotten into the visual arts department but at the time, i was mostly invested in creative writing.
thank u kissy kissy <3
that last post really articulates my feelings well on the reclaiming of the word “ugly”
my brown skin and dark hair and body and my general non-whiteness is already considered ugly by everyone and their mama. i want to be able to claim my own beauty and be able to say “yes, yes, i am beautiful”
i don’t think calling myself ugly and proud is revolutionary.
i’ve seen this happening a lot and i understand it, but i dont identify with it. and it actually makes me a bit sad when i see fellow darkskinned/poc and fat and/or queer people referring to themselves as such. i respect everyone’s right to call their bodies whatever they want, i do,
and that’s why i don’t call myself ugly and proud.
if i call myself ugly that’s complacency. i have been deemed ugly by the wider society and there’s nothing rebellious about, me, saying outloud that im ugly. that’s the way im supposed to think about my looks, anyway. i mean aren’t there like so many tl;dr articles out there saying that just because im a Black woman im undesirable? i mean arent there Black men out there going off on rants explaining in detail why i, because i’m a Black woman, am not attractive and worth dating?
and that’s why i can’t call myself ugly and proud.
i would love to reach a place where i could call myself beautiful and proud, but honestly, im not there yet either. but on the road to get there, ugly is not an adjective i want to be using in reference to my Black womanness. there are already enough people doing that for me .
