Final public LeonieUpdate!
I’m back with updated plans to future blog posts, why I’m quitting my instagram + facebook page (huge page of social media sources too) and interesting finds on beauty standards, stage shows, games, online boundaries, parasocial relationships, cultural belonging, changes to blog posts & more in this long blog post!

Fanart / Week of Molly from Animal Crossing + LeonieUpdate, reflecting on videos I watched, why the Japanese are so lonely, how we’re manipulated to believe that talent belongs to the beautiful & more.

Ignore social media and group social things sometimes, focus on occasional 1 to 1 catch ups & activities with my few, kind friends, do what I can with job hunting, freelancing and retreat into my bubble to learn and take care of myself.

Leonie rambles!
I’ve come across so many reputable artists talking about keeping sketchbooks all the time. Filling them, doing deliberate practice, studying and learning at tremendous speeds. That you have to have a sketchbook with you at all times. Fill up X number of pages a day, week, month, year.

That you *should* do this and that if you want *this career*.
