Once when I got my hair cut as a tween I brought in this picture and asked the stylist to cut my hair like this.

Her response was "this is a cartoon character"

Current desk view. #kidlitart #illustration
A photo of a messy desk with a laptop and tablet pushed to the side, an open sketchbook, some drawings and a half finished painting sitting out. Tubes of gouache and a palette lay haphazardly in the background.

Whenever someone asks for my 'artistic opinion' I think to myself, "Okay time to show that I know what I'm talking about. I need to say something INSIGHTFUL." 🧐

But really they just want me to tell them they did a good job. 🥲
