Barely holding on at this point

I’ve been gone too long but let me share my week with you- This week was the longest year of my life but it had more ups than downs!

I’ve been working, got my Beyoncé tickets, did a Bath & Bodyworks haul, and we got more snow!

This has been a week 😓😓

Discover how sharing weekly experiences can enhance our mood and provide a sense of connection. This week has brought both challenges and joys, from long work hours to exciting events like securing concert tickets. Engaging with these ups and downs can foster community spirit, especially in times of uncertainty. As winter sweeps in with more snow, it's essential to embrace the warmth of indoor activities – whether it's pampering yourself with Bath & Bodyworks goodies or catching up on life with friends. Building connections through shared experiences can create a fulfilling sense of belonging. Reflecting on our week, we often find the small wins, like those concert tickets, can brighten our spirits. Keep sharing your stories and let’s uplift each other through this winter season.

GOD IM TIRED, BUT IM STILL HOLDING ON

A sketchbook page displays two pencil sketches of hands holding apples. Overlay text reads "HOW I DRAW HANDS HOLDING OBJECTS," serving as the title for a drawing tutorial on drawing hands holding objects.

A sketchbook shows two light pencil circles. Two real hands, one at the top right and one at the bottom right, hold red apples, demonstrating the initial step of drawing the object as a reference.

A sketchbook displays two circles with rough hand outlines sketched around them. Two real hands holding apples are shown, with green lines highlighting the main shapes of the hands for reference.

How I Draw Hands That Are Holding an Object

Using the object as a point of reference is just another way to get more accurate placements of the fingers and palm (you can use anything that’s in your reference photo and on your drawing). So for example: when I map out the fingers on the top hand, how far does the pointer finger extend to? Of

A yellow limber in a plastic cup is surrounded by four mangoes, with the title 'THE LIMBER Puerto Rico's Frozen Cup of History, Hustle, and the Nazi We Forgot We Honored'.

Two soursop fruits flank a limber in a plastic cup, illustrating the 'SWEETNESS SCIENCE' of limber making, where sugar is adjusted for freezing, a generational knowledge passed down.

Several red limbers in plastic cups are shown, demonstrating the 'DIAMOND' shape formed when flipped, with the cup acting as a reservoir for melting juice.
