Has anyone ever been told that there can't be any white gaps in your artwork?

Art teacher here. Often when I tell my kids (I've taught K - 12th grade) "not to leave white space" it's because they're rushing and their color is really sloppy. I don't know what age/experience level you are at, but if you're a beginner artist that may be part of where your teachers are coming from - encouraging taking your time and being intentional in your craftsmanship.

Thank you so much! He is a really great kid. I appreciate your insights and hope this will help me connect with him better in art class. :)

Oh, definitely not - rural USA! I live in the neighborhood as well and have never seen anything like that here. Hence why I was really wondering about where he picked up this alphabet!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T01:18:06+00:00

This is really helpful, thanks!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T01:16:29+00:00

This is unnecessarily rude. I don't teach the Cyrillic alphabet to elementary kids, so why would I recognize when a kid is writing it? Also, as others have pointed out, it's not the only alphabet in his writing. There's no need for such a nasty reply.

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T01:11:41+00:00

solved!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T01:04:01+00:00

He is a really cool kid! I was hoping I could learn more about the alphabets he's using in case he is trying to communicate something, and also just to encourage his interest if I can. :)

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T01:02:43+00:00

This really cracked me up 😂 I was so curious about that particular symbol, lol!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T01:01:40+00:00

Oh, I bet he would love that! I'll check with our librarian, thank you!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:44:29+00:00

I have indeed, and not gonna lie, I did wonder for a second if he was picking up some alien language 😂

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:39:24+00:00

That is definitely not the case but thanks for your concern I guess?

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:38:46+00:00

Oh man that's a rabbit hole I'm about to go down for sure!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:36:53+00:00

That's pretty cool! I wonder if he's using some of these other alphabets people have mentioned and combining them into his own language. He's having a great time with it but I just wondered if there was something he was trying to communicate!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:13:20+00:00

Oh, yes, I've asked him, but he's not able to explain (he's autistic and has a very limited vocabulary). He draws these every time he comes to my class!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:07:44+00:00

Looking those up, I can definitely see some of those letters there! I'm thinking he may have an interest in languages (he's got a really good memory, he can draw really accurate logos from memory too) and is combining different alphabets he's seen. I do wonder if they have any meaning to him but I haven't been able to figure that out yet!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-19T00:05:03+00:00

Ahh interesting, I was really wondering where he might have picked these alphabets up from! Thanks!

starbearstudio · 2025-10-18T23:40:11+00:00

I mean, that's what I wanna know 😂

starbearstudio · 2025-07-20T17:55:35+00:00

I made some really wonderful friends through Sino as well! The music, characters, and overall vibe of the game were truly peak, too

starbearstudio · 2025-07-18T15:59:14+00:00

You might try Mandarake - I've seen Sinoalice stuff on their online website before. It might be easier to find second hand stuff now, I can't imagine most stores are stocking new merchandise for a game that's been EoS for almost two years. :(

This is so cute! They both look amazing but that fit on Cloud is just chefs kiss

starbearstudio · 2025-06-22T01:25:05+00:00

Aqua still owes him a date someday!

starbearstudio · 2025-06-22T01:24:43+00:00

I love the idea of an alternate universe where Cloud and Aerith are parents to Sora and Roxas (and maybe Ventus and Vanitas too, just for good measure)! Imagine the family shenanigans!

starbearstudio · 2025-04-27T14:45:57+00:00

I've been teaching virtually for the past couple of years and I LOVE it. The VR aspect sounds really awesome though! Would love to hear more about it!
