recent flash sheets from drawing assignments my mentor gave me! one was for a skulls & roses sheet and another was for a simple, one-off sheet that i could offer to friends for free 🌸

getting closer & closer to being able to take apprentice rate appointments 😳

part of this saga included me having to spend a few hours back down in the states for the first time since february. everything went smoothly, but it did remind me of how grateful & lucky I am to be living abroad as a trans person rn. 💔

taking the train back was lovely though!
