In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

Sketch of the week! In which we talk about the snowy scene with the Christmas lights!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday to you, and good evening! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope you are having a good day! My day today was productive and calm at the same time, I'm on the process of watching the voice finals, which is always amazing to see, I'm making some sketches and slowly trying some new stuff, and my plants maybe will get new vases soon, because many of them are growing so much! My experience with my plants has been enriching so far! Some have struggled but are starting to come back to life now, a couple have died, but most of them are doing well! It's always complicated, of course, you have to make sure everything is doing well with them, but overall I think I'm doing fine with them! 
Something really adorable happened today! I was on a walk earlier today, and I found a kitten on my way. I petted the kitten, and the lovely creature followed me around for a long time, and she was being (it was a she!) really kind towards me, rubbing on my feet and my hands. I was a bit concerned about the kitten, since it was on the streets, but I'm happy to say the kitten is being taken care of! She has a nice place to sleep, food and water and most important of all, the kitten is neutered. She was a bit thin, but overall looking healthy and really sociable, so that's lovely! Anyway, I don't doubt the incredible ability of cats on being independent and thriving even living by themselves, but for a pet it's always nice to have a home!
I think I like pets a lot, I'm not a huge pet person, but I love cats and dogs, and I'd love to have a cat one day, when I have the chance to have one.
I'm so happy it's December and Christmas season, but how fast this month of December is passing! It makes me both happy and sad that December 24th-25th are so close! Because it's the height of the season, and after that it's gone for another year... Christmas oficially goes until January 5th, but still... And let's not talk about the next year now, still too early for that!
Okay, long text for our Sketch of the week post of today! Like I said, I made some experimentations on drawing and coloring recently, and I made this christmas drawing I'm about to show!


These are the winter trees and the snowstorm, and also the christmas lights on them! We have red and yellow! It's windy and cold, most people are at home, appreciating the snow, because snow is beautiful indeed, or at least I think so! It's crazy how seasons work, I can't experience that, where I live we only have wet summer and dry summer, I want to see snow and cold one day, or see how spring works, and stuff like that. I do love Christmas even without snow, it doesn't lose its magic for me, just seeing the decoration around, it's impossible not to love it. 
This drawing has my dry trees, my snowy ground that I'm always looking on how to improve, and my snowy sky with wind and snow, and something brand new: the Christmas lights! Without the ugly wires though, let's leave it for another one, and anyway, this is not real life, this is my drawing, and it doesn't have to be 100% like reality...
And this drawing I made on Christmas season is what we have for today! Thank you so much for being here and for reading this! You are the very best and you know it! Have a wonderful night and I see you on my next post! Yahoo! And happy December!
