skl. nakita ko sa gallery while deleting stuff.

naalala na naman. i made this before we stopped talking. she was my bff first eh. now, i'm like "i know she's your girl now, but she was my girl first" by ethel cain. lolz. she seems happy and open about their flaws, which i'm nothing if not envious about. but we were something don't you think so by taylor swift eh, like, happy to just have each other. even thought and wholely believed that i'd be fine with whatever happens as long as i have her. that's so naive of me to think pala.

well, things happen, and it kind of pisses me off lang when i think of how we didn't even go out badly, like no fights or disagreements. but it was gradual and quiet, and at the time i let it because akala ko it was just a latency phase where we were busy trying to survive college. but even talking ceased. knowing her paused, her knowing me eventually faded away into the background. and kahit man she's private and low-key about her new girl, she does seem more like herself. but she's more confident than i've seen her, and i'm sooo so jealous i don't get to have that version of her.

it'd partly be my fault that i didn't reach out first or reach out enough for that matter. maybe i overestimated my value in her life when i was placated that she would seek me out, and there's still this thorough ache in my chest every time i remember. i think that's all i ever do since we stopped talking.

the text behind the subject is a lyric from mitski's heaven, "can we stay a while and listen for heaven?" dedicated 'to sa amin sana eh. i believe i didn't even get to show her this. and she loved that i introduced her to mitski and we don't even get to talk about that now. 😤

FAHHH i miss her guys you guyssss. ✊🏻🤕 QUICK, what's a song that can describe this situation? i wanna feel the gravity of losing you by underscores- eme.

i need advice :'o

how do i go about making illustrations for zines? is there a formula or a format i can follow? i'm pretty new to working on zines :')

these are some of my works that i really like and they're mostly portraits, but the zine i'll be working on with a friend is about nature which i hope i can really pull off. i actually also already wrote a nonfiction piece that was then compiled with other works of my classmates to make a zine but i didn't illustrate for that... (idk how that's related) BUT i badly need advice. mainly on how to work on a zine, what to do, things to keep in mind.

constructive criticism is highly appreciated. 🙏🏻

first time being commissioned ^^

hiii i just wanted some tips and advice. it's my first time being commissioned to illustrate some stuff for a friend who's writing a zine (includes the cover and pieces for each entry in the zine). i kinda don't have profound knowledge on how commissioning works but i'm eager to work with this friend and on this project.

my first concern is: how to set the pricing? how do i measure how my work is worth?

second: just any tips on how to polish my art?

EDIT: third: has anyone worked on zines before? i also need advice on how to layout properly bc i only have ideas based on the zines i've seen. is there a formula at all?

it's pretty intimidating to do this since the zine will be marketed, and i don't want the impression on the art to be amateur. i believe my works aren't worth all that much to be sold, but this friend asked me to and i don't want to disappoint.

i'm nervy about all this :'k insights are very much appreciated, thank youuu!

i can't flirt for my life.

how do girls get girlfriends man? 22f, kinda late bloomer. mostly closeted din except for friends i'm really close to. i can't flirt even with a gun to my head. i've never had yung actual na rs, only online, and even then it's very little experience. recently, friends urge me to put myself out there but how does one even do that? like. i need step by step details it's kinda embarrassing on my end. do i dress up in certain colors or style? how do i signal to other women that i'm into women? what to dooo huhu
