Cats and Nasturtium Flowers~ something which was going to be a custom sticker sheet (for me to decorate my scrapbook with) until I realized that most sticker printing websites have like Actual Guidelines you're supposed to follow in terms of file type of the image and other things lol.. A nice picture then, I guess at least

#cats #flowers #nasturtiums #nature #I thought you could kind of just upload anything of any type. kind of like how you can print anything on a shutterfly bag/hat/etc lol #even if it's some low quality super pixelly badly sized jpeg or something.. but alas... anyhow...#Hrgh.... my lifelong battle (cannot freaking draw cats despite me being both a lifelong artist and lifelong cat lover...#I have been trying to draw cats since I was 5 years old and I still can't get the anatomy proper lol ToT #I mean like they're not TERRIBLE or anything but it just.... idk it lacks a certain charm I'm looking for. I see cat drawings that some #people do and go 'YES. that is a CAT'. like the shapes. I think it's similar to how like. sometimes you can tell whether someone #has been an artist for a long time by the Effort of their lines.. if that makes sense? There's sometimes a breezy almost sketchy #style that comes with an implication of 'this person has drawn this thing so many times that its become intuitive for them and takes them #like 2 seconds to smoothly dash out this shapely line with the perfect weight and movement' etc. etc.#Some of my art looks like that to me. But then my cats are like.. This Person Was Trying Very Hard To Draw A Cat lol #to ME at least. It probably doesnt seem that way on the outside. And maybe I'm just too deep into it. My love for cats is too profound. I #spend time daily observing them. No line I could ever produce with my mere mortal hands could replicate the unearthly perfection #of the feline form.. hrmph... ANYWAY lol...#so sad because i did really want to decorate my notebook with the nasturtium stickers... one of my favorite flowers..#I like the one sticker that's just the lumpy little green seed (what nasturtium seeds look like when they first ... uh.. exist? I guess the #seeds don't ''bloom''.. when they first ''appear'' maybe? A fresh seed. The ones you get in the store are like dried and brown #by then. But one of my nasturtium plants a few years ago plopped out a bunch of these fresh green little seeds and they're cute looking to #me... like a little wrinkled pea... my son...#oh my GOURSH I just looked them up to check whether I was remebering correctly... YES.... they are soo cute and cool... i love #nasturtium seeds hashtag my nasturtium seeds #Truly the most Perfectly Shaped in all ways flower that exists. leaves. petals. seeds. roots. ALL of it. THE aesthetic ideal.#I'm not a big nature artist either (rarely ever draw flowers and stuff. not that comfortable with it) but for some reason I'm okay with the #nasturtiums lol... again.. maybe cats are simply too powerful of a subject matter.. difficult to capture in their ultimate divinity
