perhaps a correction that i can't colour for shit in procreate which is a mix of not working well with the colour picker and not liking how the brushes work
the reason i’ll always finish art on my computer is i can’t colour for shit on my iPad

I spent a lot of time over the past few days fiddling with code for TH; I’m sure it’s not a particularly impressive thing, but I still feel immensely satisfied when I reach a “finished” point and wish I could show it off to folks 😭
