Vignettes of Joy A mini series for fun to practice

Vignettes of Joy
A mini series for fun to practice my portrait skills and show appreciation for those people in the world who inspire me to keep on following my dream.
•
This time it is the original YouTuber @shanedawson 🐷‼️
Shane started by being one of the very early content creators on @youtube, posting hilarious videos and really helped to popularize the platform. He has built a massive following, written a few books, and co-created one of the biggest selling make-up products in the past few years.
But through it all he has been 💯 honest with his struggles with mental health, body image, and confidence, instilling in his fans the powerful idea that everybody struggles and it’s okay to talk about it. He has paired this with high quality humor and sarcasm that is one of the main reasons why his fans love him so much.
Shane, I want to thank you for being an inspiration to me and bringing me joy with your absolute hilarity and honesty. I’m sure there are MANY more that appreciate you just the same.

#appreciationpost for the maped eraser by @alvindrafting ‼️
I have been using this model for 8 years and it has never let me down.
Long-lasting
Good texture
Fully removes marks without streaking‼️

Anyone who appreciates quality #artsupplies should definitely make the move to this beast!
Thanks to the late @vcuarts professor Albert Epshteyn for putting it in your class supply list. Nothing will erase your impact on our lives.

This time it is JINKX MONSOOOON @thejinkx ‼️
Jinkx was one of the first drag queens I became a huge fan of while on @rupaulsdragrace season 5. Their positivity, quirkiness, and alternative perspective were so refreshing and inspiring.
Their mantra “Water off a 🦆’s back.” Has been something I try to incorporate as much as possible. Especially as an artist, it’s important to let the hate and BS just roll off.
Since WINNING #rpdr they have been living their life unabashedly; producing and starring in amazing shows, making hella good albums, and being an advocate for living your truth.
Thank you Jinkx for just being you and bringing joy & inspiration to many.
