Bro why they pack it in a bubble mailer?! The corner is dented, now I have to open it to make sure none of the pencils broke😭takes away from some of excitement for opening it Christmas day. But I want to find broken pencils asap so we can get replacements if needed.

There so much you can do to keep the cost down even with professional quality supplies. Buying second hand also exists, keep an eye out for good deals, etc. Drawing is one of the most accessible hobbies out there, just go be creative!

is a good all around sketchbook and can even take a little bit of water color. You can get yourself a pad of Arches paper for less than $30, get yourself some big sheets of good quality paper and make a small sketchbook.

add a tube or white and/or black. Markers and colored pencils is harder to mix(for me) but not impossible, just buy your favorite colors or primaries and add to it as you have money. The basics should cost you less than $50. You can get a Royal Talens sketchbook for less than $15, which imo

If you insist on professional material, open stock exist. YOU DO NOT NEED EVERY COLOR UNDER THE SUN! Buying open stock is more expensive in the long term but is easier on the wallet in the short term. For paints you really only need the primaries, red, blue, and yellow. If you got extra money then

I wanna host a Thanksgiving or Christmas for my immediate family so bad, but it sounds soooooo stressful. Its okay if the turkey for my partner and I is a little late, but if I'm expecting guests! I'd rather just die.

not that people don't smoke cigarettes and weed in a non smoking building :v I smell it in the bathroom every few hours and they are constantly opening and closing the balcony window X3

Where'd the contrast go?! It was there on my phone XD oh well.
While I'm here can you guys ignore the ugly color on the feets. The shape is so cute, but the colors did not turn out💀
