Drawn for @qibsichan ‘s awesome series! For this fic, the latest installment! ^^
I've been writing for years and I still struggle with this, especially since posting publicly. So to any writers out there who think their work isn't good enough, I've discovered your own perception on what you write is a lot harsher than how people will actually view it. You're doing fine. It's alright. :) Perfection is unobtainable so let's accept what we have!
It's going to be fine. <3
Quit judging yourself for every mistake you make along the way. Whether you're writing fiction, fanfiction, or nonfiction, just write. If you can't correct your errors as you go, that's okay. When I don't have the brainpower to multitask, I focus on the writing stage one step at a time. Just write!
"It's not ready if it's not perfect." That's a lie. When you're in the process of writing, it's best to concentrate on getting your thoughts on paper.
Join lively communities with active writers or forums that host events inviting writers to share their work for critique. Not every critique is constructive; learn to discern which feedback to take on board and which to ignore.
You can't give what you don't have. You learn a lot from reading similar pieces in your chosen genre. Reading is also a source of inspiration that fuels your writing process.
Writing is no small feat. It takes talent to formulate a story with your mind and skill to visualize it for others to see. Do you love writing? Then keep doing it because it takes practice.

Hello! If it’s okay, can we see bigger bodies dogday and cartoon catnap? ( with legs on both of them )
Hold small cat like football….
They’re so pretty!! :0 Well done!!
been getting into the smiling critters lately and thought I showed my edits of them that made yesterday!! will do the boys soon or later
Bestie’s new and improved token art!! Here’s how it holds up against the old one:
Difference: six months of studying and practice!
Improvements:
Clothing folds
BEYOND insane colour palette improvement
Shading/rendering for the colour layer, including tiny dots in the shadows for depth
Experimenting with gradients on the lineart layer
Better idea of shape and direction - feet clearly flow out, hair is obviously curly
Joints that are built-in instead of being drawn onto normal legs last-minute
PROPORTIONS. I'm not sure how, but for this one it's very obvious Ollie has a small(er lol) body, and it would be easy to mistake them as a kid while wearing kidcore.
Expressions/visual communication with personality
Trying to get them (Ollie) on a keychain. :3
Sharing my Smaller Bodies Initiative playlists with you guys because ily and also I jam to them :)
Listen in order for her story :) listen on shuffle for general cat pookie slay queen
This also includes hints to thinks that haven’t happened in the canon yet! The ending songs were very deliberately done :)))
Kitty’s overall vibe is “emotional baby bean who slowly turns evil”
Doesn’t have to be in order :) for me it’s very day and very dog. It’s my boy in his pre-Destroyed era.
Doggy’s vibe is “just a wholesome guy who gets mistreated occasionally but is trying to live his best life”.
She’s delightful.
I’ll see myself out 😇
As you can see from the title, this thing is a WIP and therefore is a little funky because to be honest I don’t think Miss Delight likes music…
This phone is my absolute comfort character. You don’t understand how serotonin this stupid little high-pitched battery-spitting maniac gives me
I know he isn’t a super main character in the canon… but…
I am attached VIOLENTLY to this kid. Him. HIM. Little phone man
Ollie’s vibe is “I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing lol”
DEATH MUSIC DEATH MUSIC RAWAAAAAAAARRRRRRR
It’s for when I actually have to write the event so I can get sufficiently death-y.
Hey there, I’m Qibs! (she/her) Author of the Smaller Bodies Initiative and Destroy-A-Toy! Lovely to have ya here! 💜🫂
