Hello everyone! I hope you're all finding a way to be creative today! I started this last night (and stayed up way too late working on it) and it's the first self portrait that I've ever made. It's not finished but I am very happy with it so far. If anyone has made one of themselves, whether realism or abstract, please post below. I would love to see them. If you've never made one, give it a try! Who knows you better than you?

Can anyone help me understand how to post a picture on here? The only option I see is to attach a file. But it’s not opening anything. Thought I was pretty good at this but feel rather dumb right now.

Post your best work here 🔥 to get more viability 😍

Hey Responsibly Messy Artists 🎨 I want to talk to you from the heart for a second. I built this space for us — and I pay for it every month so you don't have to. That part I'm happy to do. But here's the thing: I can't make this a community on my own. No one can. A community only comes alive when people show up for each other. I get it — it can feel easier to watch from the sidelines at first. That's okay for a little while. But at some point, I'm asking you to take a breath and jump in. Share something. Comment on someone's work. Introduce yourself. Ask a question. Cheer someone on. That's all it takes. Those small moments are what make a place feel warm and welcoming — for you, and for everyone who comes after you. This place has so much potential. I can feel it. But it needs all of us. So please — don't just watch. Participate. Make this the community we all wish we'd had. Grow together. Stronger together. 🤝 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ If you’d like to support this free community, you can do it here: https://ko-fi.com/responsiblymessyart No pressure.
