Your art, more than anything else, makes me go almost feral wishing I knew how to draw. I look at it and it scratches an itch somewhere in my stupid brain that just floods dopamine and serotonin. I wish I could draw like this so that I can activate that whenever I want all by myself. Unfortunately I have never had even a smidge of artistic talent and I have a condition that makes my hands shake really badly. I will just have to continue to offer my likes and reblogs as payment for the happy chemicals
Thanks, I really appreciate the sentiment :] and god i wish drawing was serotonin machine haha I think thats a case of "the grass is greener" or whatever, I love drawing but half the time its frustration machine. anyways though, you dont have to be "good" or "talented" at something to enjoy it!! my right wrist has some issues so sometimes ill doodle w my left, it always turns out wonky and wobbly but tbh a lot of times its more fun 🤔
Artist note: I’m so proud of this :))) I know it’s a lot of dialogue and reading, but dialogue is grueling work for me. I’m glad with the art and for the amount of pages I made in such a relatively short time span -w- page 5 was super fun to work on. A lot of blood, sweat, and hours here... :) The backgrounds were a big bore tbh, but I finished them! Yippie!

Hello! Fellow teacher here. Feel free not to answer this publicly, it's just me giving out advice.
Tips for the voice: sing on your way to school to warm up your vocal cords and avoid drinking cold drinks because they can hurt your throat/vocal cords when you're talking a lot.
Also, it just comes with practice. I used to get a really sore throat by the end of the day, but now I can pretty much shout for several hours and I am fine. You could definitely use things like bells or whistles or anything that makes a loud noise (like a buzzer) to get their attention instead of shouting. I always do a countdown from 3 to 1.
Also, don't use your phone in lessons 😉
Love your art, btw 💙
Can't do the singing thing because I take the train :( sounds like a good idea tho!
Thankfully theres not that much lecturing involved in being an art teacher here, so I haven't had any issues with a sore throat (yet). Makes sense to avoid cold beverages!
My teacher at the school claps her hands when she wants the students to pay attention to her, I've thought about doing that too but idk it seems so abrasive and rough? too sudden, especially when the students are relaxed and not expecting loud noises? idk man it feels mean to suddenly take up sound space 😭😭(this is the swede in me talking btw)
I'm on desktop during classes because the teachers here are constantly on their laptops when they're not actively teaching, so no worries about that!
my piece for @thecodywanzine! thanks to the mods who let me go completely ham and cheese on this bad boy. this one's about living longer than you ever expected and not knowing what to do with it
