Thought this would be encouraging: Today is the minor Holiday Tu B'Av or "15 of Av" in Israel, which is basically the Jewish equivalent of Valentine's Day, and one of their most joyous feast days. There is a lot of significance with this day in history, and it foreshadows the future wedding of the Messiah.

Even though this is a Jewish holiday, happy Tu B'Av / Valentine's Day CF.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Jesus loves you.

Won't you be my neighbor?

This post made me smile! I hope you have an awesome day!

Woot! Fair enough.

It makes perfect sense. Music is a very powerful force with great influence over our psyche.

... listen responsibly

Here's a couple drawings I made in Pokemon Art Academy before that look cheerful. (I used one of the pre-set backgrounds for the first one)



These turned out really nice. I love the shading, especially in the first drawing; that's something I need to work on in my own drawings lol.

Thanks! I think I can do better with shading on the computer, though, lol.
If you need any help with shading feel free to ask me! I've got plenty of tips from my own experience over the years.

Sure, that would be great! Maybe the next time I work on the sketch for a building or something game-related, I'll ask you for some advice. I do most of my work on the computer, so my hand-sketches are not very good lol.

These are all so good. I love your sun rays though in the 2nd and third photo. I just like how the 2nd photo captures either a sunrise or sunset. It's very artistic! I love it!

Also something positive for today:

I have awesome friends who make me oh so happy! Thank you guys for being there for me and being a friend. You all are awesome.
