Check out Atomoon on YouTube. Watching them draw people really helped me think I could draw people. But then I tried it and realised that I still can't really draw people 🥴 https://youtube.com/@atomoon9531
i really enjoyed this newsletter! hearing you talk about memory and how it affects you made me realize that we all get frustrated with our brain. i’ve been told that i have “elephant memory” and remember random things from when i was 7 but i’m not able to recall the important things. it makes it harder to be present and connect with others, and sometimes i beat myself up for it.
but your drawing example is a good analogy on how we all can be a bit more forgiving on our memories. we’re all growing, and sometimes we forget how to draw our circles and lines the right way. and that’s okay. sometimes we choose to draw freely and explore who we are without guidelines (our memories) and maybe we should reel it in sometimes. but sometimes we don’t remember how to. that’s okay too. we’ll try to be more intentional next time and it will help us be even better artists soon.
might be reading into it too much on a friday afternoon but what a great read, jade! always proud of you :)

This was so dope, i love talking and reading about memory!
Welcome back, Jade! Excited to read more. As a fellow fan, I’d love a Ben 10 related thing from you sometime😂
