Blob of tired is soooo agreeable. I did not watch until end yet, but I will

I would really like to see the gods! All of them. Also, my favourite flower since childhood is Forget me not, so tiny and cute and blueish purple

[@madden.r.grimes]

Forget me nots are definitely one of my favorites! Love when just a couple are pink at the top

[@lightlightpink]

I loved the florals

Thank you! The fight between heat and wanting to knit is real

I think the art supply 101 videos sound really interesting.

Noted!

Finishing a sketchbook is a better feeling than doing drugs (I've never done drugs 🤞)

[@madden.r.grimes]

Very true

Hi! There actually are artist grade magic pencils! Amazon has some! I use them so much they're gorgeous. Also you can use a UV fixative on your original art! It's a clear coat! Fading supplies on the other hand is just dumb, ngl

[@madden.r.grimes]

I actually have the uv protective spray, it just smells so bad 😅 But i will take a look for those pencils!

[@luxiolooma]

@madden.r.grimes I get that, totally. Another thing you can do is apply a wax based fixative that has UV resistance! The one I use is to waterproof my art, and I think it also protects against UV, but I'm not entirely sure. I bet there is one out there that doesn't smell bad. Another alternative to the UV fixative would be UV glass for frames. I think they sell some on Amazon as well.

@@luxiolooma I've never heard of a uv wax fixative, I'll have to look into that. I had trouble finding the professional magic pencils, do you have a link or full name of the product? Edit: spelling

[@luxiolooma]

@madden.r.grimes hi! I looked at my wax, it apparently does not protect against UV, however it does make it waterproof. (Its called Dorland's Wax Medium, if you're interested, it does have a smell, but not a super strong or overpowering one in my opinion) I did quite a lot of research and have yet to find a varnish that is low odor and UV protective. However, there are a few things to consider! If you have a uv spray, maybe do it outside and wait for it to dry? Or you can use UV glass if you're framing it. Also the "magic pencils" are labeled as "rainbow pencils" which I'm pretty sure is the same thing. The ones I use aren't necessarily "professional" but I use them in my sketches and drawings, as well as an underlayer to my other work. They are fade resistant, but they are normal colored pencils, so some may lose color if exposed to UV for extended periods of time. I've never had a problem with them, however. I hope this helps!! Also if you'd like to reach me easier, talk about arts stuffs or what have you, the best place to reach me is on Instagram. Looma.arts Thank you!!
