John Boyega, for my Inktober Day 3.

I really enjoy drawing this guy. Just something really great about his face. I enjoy his acting too. Been a fan since Attack the Block. No time for gray tones tonight. I might take a short break from doing them. Need to get some new brushes cause these ones are pretty old. Haha.

you can literally always tell if an artist is/was a furry or not by asking them to draw a dog

Lucy Liu in her studio

Oh another rec is Children of the Sea which is a really beautiful manga. It’s also the only Manga I know with a black protagonist so that definitely sets it apart!

More Beautiful After Being Broken

What this trite imagery misses out on is the fact that kintsukuroi requires a lot of work to repair a piece like that. It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, a great deal of investment. Sometimes parts of the original are damaged beyond repair, and you have to instead painstakingly create entirely new ones.

It’s still not the same. Maybe it’s something more beautiful. But it’s not the fact that it broke that makes it beautiful. It’s the work put into it. It’s the fact that people made the effort to salvage it, because it was worth salvaging, because it was important enough to salvage. It’s the care that makes the beauty.

An apology can’t always fix what has been broken. That doesn’t mean it’s not irreparable, sometimes you can go on to rebuild and repair. But it won’t ever be the same as it was again.

I really appreciate this addition because I’ve always hated the “more beautiful for having been broken” thing. Being broken sucks and I hate all those tragic romantic sensitivities that try to make it what it’s not. These pieces are beautiful because they’re repaired with effort put in to making them shine.
