The Graphic Thoughts of an Eastern European

I am moving my blog over to @kalinazlatkova and will be archiving this page so please come and link with me there instead if you'd like. 🥰

Why? Unfortunately Tumblr erroneously marked three of my posts as explicit (a tiktok comedy sketch, a video of painting Easter eggs, and a video of Xmas paper crafts), which in turn also got my whole blog labelled as explicit. I appealed the videos, tho the latter two got rejected, and have also appealed the blog label, but it's been over a month and have not heard back. In the mean time tho, all my posts and the blog itself have been hidden from searches and no one can see anything new I post. Given staff cuts I doubt I will hear back or that the label will be removed, so I've made my peace and decided to move on.

Learn to be more confident. Yeah, you should actively practice it. It's okay if it's hard and if you don't get it right immediately. That's why It needs to be learnt. But you need to learn it you need to learn to look at your own art with an appreciative eye. Constant criticism will not make you improve, it will make you hate your creations. You need to Also acknowledge what you like about them. So no excuses on that front. I know it feels really hard to look at something you did and feel vulnerable about how it turned out but you will genuinely feel much better about yourself if you firstly practice giving yourself mercy and from there on you need to start thinking of compliments.
