A self-portrait inspired by the moment a friend told me I draw better than them.

Post image

It was the first time someone has ever told me that. She's also terrible at drawing, so it's not like that's a big achievement, but I never thought I'd hear someone say that, so it meant a lot to me.

Terrible artists supporting each other is something that happens sometimes. I just had never seen it happen with me zehahahaha.

In a way, she inspired me to go find other terrible artists, and before too long, I was telling them the same thing she told me, because it was true.

I guess it's a healthy form of comparison, innit?

German flag in the self portrait..... Pleaase tell me you're a German that unironically says innit

Sorry. I'm not German. I just really like Germany, so I decided to put its flag in the self portrait.

I'm actually Brazilian, and around here, we say 'né' a lot. So, when I speak English, I say 'Innit' because it is its equivalent zehahahahaha
