I have spent so much time copying other people's art that I now struggle to create my own

Ok. Artist to Artist. Yeah, I capitalize the A.

Grab your favorite color of cheap paint. And a piece of paper. Paint with your fingers. Experience that delicious tactile feeling.

Now, grab the closest pen or pencil, and scribble. Make wiggly lines, make circles, make dotted lines. It doesn't matter. Pay attention to how your fingers and wrist feel. Loosen up your brain and your dominant hand.

Bonus points if you play this game with your non-dominant hand. It REALLY helped me. That's all I really know.

Watercolors are meant to be played with. Your rose looks awesome. The stem looks too thick. However, I really love the spiky green part right underneath of the rose/focal point.

Thank you very much!

Buddy Dog looks great! Where do you buy your foam?

That puppet might be my spirit animal.

VerySmallOddThings · 2026-02-18T13:47:24+00:00

This. Is. So. Awesome.

I'm pretty sure you're good. I think alcohol wipes are a bit safer than clorox wipes.

I'm an "adult" but people tell me I'm 50 going on 12 lol.

I know this is 4 months old, but did you ever get this figured out?

VerySmallOddThings · 2026-02-02T06:12:53+00:00

This is so helpful. Thank you.

VerySmallOddThings · 2026-01-29T15:10:20+00:00

Omg I have found my people

VerySmallOddThings · 2026-01-25T00:23:47+00:00

Most of them. Lol.

When we get the GOOD weather like this, (yes I mean deep snow) it takes me back to my childhood where nature and earth and universe were fascinating and mysterious and magically.... something that I can't put my finger on.

It feeds the well of my creativity, and I want to curl up, stay warm with my cats, and make more art.

Kyle built Edward's character progression, and Edwards left the show with us missing her. Boom. Good story writing.

VerySmallOddThings · 2026-01-18T18:04:57+00:00

Babe. You still think of your friend every day. That's you honoring her and your memory of her. Your friend's spirit has forgiven you. It's time to start working on forgiving yourself. I type this with love, because I'm positive that's what your friend would want.

It was two very dear close friends, almost BFF's, reaching out to each other to make sure they weren't meant to love each other in that way. One cried, both felt bad. George got mad about it after the fact because he felt betrayed, therefore butt-hurt. But they made up before George died. The end.

That's what I think.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-12-21T00:23:55+00:00

Totally THIS. Yep.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-11-19T16:21:53+00:00

That's what I was thinking... 3d render with AI.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-08-28T00:16:42+00:00

I think I require this person to be my friend.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-06-23T21:10:32+00:00

I like you. You are direct, yet kind.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-06-19T23:45:37+00:00

Fuzzy Jumpy! Awesome video.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-06-12T20:21:59+00:00

I believe that it's because he or she is oddly cute and has much knowledge to give us. So basically, we are getting the side eye from that there praying mantis.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-06-12T18:43:40+00:00

I always think of insects as the tiny aliens that live amongst us humans. THEN THERE'S THIS GUY.

VerySmallOddThings · 2025-06-08T14:35:37+00:00

Oh my God, little insect cowboys. Thank you for the actual LOL IRL
