People are diverse and there's so much overlap on literally every human feature. Not just between cis and trans folks, but for literally anyone you can imagine! Mirroring that diversity in art gives characters more depth, and it's OK if parts of who they arent made artificially+immediately obvious.

"I want to draw trans girls with classic trans girl features AND cis girls with some of those those same features AND trans girls without, bc people are diverse af" 💯 💮 exactly this!

(And because I will otherwise die of embarrassment, yes I do know the difference between "your" and "you're" and I hate that this was posted with the wrong one. I blame my phone. 😝)

So I guess I wanted to say thank you for helping me convince myself that there's nothing wrong with needing to go through a creative process in order to find the result you want. I think you're art is amazing, and it was neat to both see how it's made and grow my own understanding in the process. :)

Let me try again: when I draw, it takes me a while to find the shapes I want, and I use my eraser nearly as often as my pencil. Seeing someone whose art I really admire also go through the same intermediate steps along the way to making something beautiful helps me feel better about doing it.

Oh no, I'm so sorry it came across that way! And then I fell asleep and you had to sit on that worry. :(

Seeing this makes me feel so much better about the way I draw things. Thanks for sharing it!

I'm sitting here wondering why a person I follow whose reposts are consistently thoughtful and interesting chose to share this, and then just when I was about to nope out, things got interesting. 😂 A hair dryer?? Damn, girl. Now I gotta go see what I can pull off.
