Hello!

I just went for a snoop on my old account and saw that people still interact with it! Which is rad! However I don’t use this account anymore lol

You can find me on @jayandsilentsophie or my Instagram: Uglykidsophie :)

You can also support me on my Etsy! - Uglykidsophie - I try to make every purchase as personal as possible and try to add extra goodies when I can!!

Would be rad if you shared!

Black Lives Matter, a lot.

My Grandmother and Great Grandmother were two amazing black women who did everything they could to live a normal life despite the harassment they received throughout their time. My great grandma received it the worst, especially when she married my great granddad (a white man) and moved to England with him (England was never as bad as America during the segregation period but unfortunately there was still a lot of racists). Peace between all colours was always something they dreamed about, they died way before my time but I know it’d break their hearts to know of the amount of violence that is still occurring today. As a white person, I want to use my privilege to stop and also raise awareness about police brutality and racial discrimination. I encourage everyone else to do the same 🖤

I’m not black but I see you

I’m not black but I hear you

I’m not black but I mourn with you

I’m not black but I will stand with you

I’m not black but I will fight for you

Thank u!🖤

I’ve been drawing most of my life but started taking it seriously in 2014, I then moved on to digital drawing around 2016/17 - I was using Autodesk Sketchbook on my laptop with lil cheap Wacom tablet (if u want to try get into digital then I suggest starting with autodesk sketchbook as its now free! It wasn’t when I started using it 🤡) but as of the beginning of 2019 I now work with Procreate on an IPad and wow, what a game changer 😳 Procreate is perfect if you’re lazy like me, every bit of work on here was done whilst laying bed 💀 I’ve heard photoshop is good but it looks way too complicated and expensive for me
