Why sketching Ezra's face and hair is so difficult to meeee omg
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The reference I used 🥲
I want to make him all grown up, but uhhhhgghh I need to learn how to sketch his hair as our beloved teen first. In my style of drawing I usually try to make sure they don't get uncharacteristic, so I try to replicate their traits, but also try to get a little more close to reality
Ps: i don't even know if this is actually my style or if this description exists/fits my drawings, I've never had sketching classes (in school we used to idk draw trees and paint stuff and study art stuff but not exactly do it) ;u; but I hope that makes sense?

593 followers special! + appreciation & shoutouts <3
Hi guys! I’m back. Now, I know it’s been a while since I last posted anything as uni has been kicking my butt, and I was busy with my final sem exams. But now that I’m back, I would like to do something simple to celebrate me reaching 506 followers (596 currently) a while ago, and that is to open a discord server.
Yep, you heard me. I’m having my own discord server! :3 So don’t be shy and come join it if you want. The mods are lovely and so are the users that have joined. The criteria for joining my server is that you have to be 15 or older ! And don’t even try to lie about your age, we can tell from the way you carry yourself.
https://discord.gg/pA9au9S
In addition to celebrating my 5th milestone, I would like to thank these people, which are my lovely friends, fanfic writers and non writers alike, those who are in bold write nsfw/mild nsfw :
To start off, I want to thank these three servers/groups as wholes:
1. Jay and Co.:
@oikawasass -- Jay my spicy cinnamon roll! You are very cool person, periodt. Tbh, I was a little intimidated by you when I first spoke to you in your server. But overtime as I spoke to you more, I can see that you're actually a very lovely and sweet person in your own way. Also, I love how you can be super blunt and say the most hilarious things with a serious tone. You’re self-assured, bold and not afraid to speak your mind, and that is what I admire about you. And thank you, for being there and talking sense into me when I needed it, I appreciate that very much 🥺
And boy oh boy, your writing? *Chef's kiss* the first time when I read one of your works, I fell in love with how easy on the eyes it is. Your writing style is simple yet beautiful. Your choice of words, the imagery and the cohesiveness too! It’s godtier💞, must stan it. I especially love your crack fics/hcs and you whole aesthetic as well. Ma'am, pls spare some of your skills. 
@archn my dear cupcake! Honestly, you're the sweetest person I've ever met and you're so so supportive and patient 🥺, plus I love how crackhead you can get when we’re fooling around lmao. Other than that, you’re really easygoing, not only towards me, but to everyone in general. You’re like that cool cousin that everyone looks up to and deserves all the appreciation in the world.
Also, your writing style is gorgeous and you write the characters' personality so spot on! I also love the flow of words sm ahhhj. I especially love your  headcanons of the bnha boyos working out with their fem s/o, that idea is really creative!
@mizukuni -- Mizuuu, my beautiful, gorgeous sweet red date! Babe, you have come so far from starting off as a new writing blog not long ago to finally achieving 1k followers! I just wanna say congrats for reaching your 10th milestone and you deserve every one of your followers! You can definitely go further and achieve more milestones. As for your writing style, it is simplistic but beautiful: you don’t use many flowery words to express your writing,  yet those simple words you choose bring out what you want to show in your works exactly, and the flow of words is just rly smooth and I stan the cohesiveness 💞. Oh and you have such a cute minimalistic art style that is very pleasant on the eyes! And lately I can see that you’re improving at a quick pace; your drawings are getting more detailed than last time and that’s really amazing! Also, did I mention that I love your blog’s aesthetic as well?
Also, thank you for being there for me when I was feeling down and needed someone to talk to, I cherish that gesture of yours greatly luv 💞As for my first impression of you, I could tell you’re a really chill person and go with the flow easily. Honestly, that helped a lot to buffer my social awkwardness and made me open up to y’all easier. So yeah, I must say a very big thank you once again to you babe 💞
@cherry-pancakes  -- Diiii my sweet cherry blossom! You are the cutest person I’ve ever met sjdnjsn. Your antics remind me of a sweet little sister and that is pretty darn adorable. Even though you can be a little bit wild and spontaneous sometimes, that just adds to your charm! Plus, a little wild every once in a while does’t do harm < 3
As for your writing, it has a simple flow but it is easily understood. If writing styles were aesthetics/ sceneries, yours would be a small flowing stream-- small but smooth flowing, simple but not insignificant. Beauty in simplicity describes your works perfectly. Also, did I mention that you have a really adorable artstyle as well? Your art style is relatively simple but it is so so cute 🥺
 @chizo --Guava my gummy bear! Babe, even though you are no longer active here, I just want to say a very big thank you. Thank you for giving us so many beautifully written works. Seriously, when I first met you through discord and followed your writing blog ( @izukyu ) I fell in love with your works. Something about your writing is just really special, plus I love the fact that you start sentences with small letters (Caps lock be damned lol). Your writing is a mixture of sophistication and simplicity, yet they compliment each other perfectly when you incorporate them into your works! It is pretty impressive because it is not an easy thing to do.
As for my first impression of you, I can tell you’re genuinely a vv caring and supportive person. You give off motherly vibes as well in a good way! You’re like the cool mom friend of the group who looks after everyone tbh 💝. So yeah, once again I want to say a very very big thank you to you again. Thank you for blessing the writers’ community with your wonderful fics and thank you for being such a good friend, let’s continue to be good friends in the near future!
@sourbkg  -- Emmie my blueberry! Babey you are another sweetheart who is caring and so so supportive. I still remembered that time when I felt a little ill and sad and you immediately sent some cat pictures to cheer me up, thank you sm for that love, it helped me a great deal 💕, plus I’m never one to say no to cats and kitties! Also, you know exactly what to say at the right moments! Your easygoing personality makes it easy for other people to open up to you as well.
As for your writing style, it has a simple yet realistic approach. It’s like I can see what is happening in your works like a movie scene and I think that is really cool! Keep up the good work < 3! I really love that one shot with Shoto’s s/o attempting to scare him, it’s so cute ahh! And I love the ending lol, Shoto cracking a joke is golden. 
@kozumie -- Kai! Oh man, where do I start. Okay, here we go. When I first met you in the server, I gravitated towards your easygoing, cool and chill vibe. After talking to you more, I can tell that I love the laid-back chill vibe you give off, you’re so awesome! 
Also, even though I haven’t read much of your work, I must say I really love the way you write. It’s precise and your vocabulary really helps with imagery, the words you can help the readers easily envision what is going on in your story, and that is really amazing! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more works from you. 
@succu6us-- Anni! Babe, ahh it has been a while since we last spoke too hasn’t it? I missed you along with the others too 🥺 But now that I’m back for the time being, I’m going to be more active. Anni babe, your writing style is minimalistic yet gorgeous. I can tell you’re not a big fan of writing long paragraphs and that’s completely fine! Because if I’m being honest here, I tend to keep things simple and short as well if I can. Yet your simplistic style captures the gist of your works perfectly! did I mention that I love your nsfw works as well 
As for my first impression of you, I could tell that you had a very self-assured, confident aura about you, and you still do! But you are not arrogant at all. On the contrary, you’re a humble and supportive soul! I quite envy that self-assurance and air of confidence you have dear, and I can say that I have grown to be a bit more confident in myself by having you around, so you’re a wonderful influence! Let’s continue to keep in touch sweetie.
@mysterypotatoink -- Morgann! Sugarcakes, let me just say that you are the best big sister figure we could ever ask for! You are so sweet, supportive, loving and willing to help us whenever we need it. You are our server’s big sister and guardian 💕💕 You always make us feel loved and warm inside. Personally, whenever we talk to you, it gives off the vibe like a child wrapped up in a safety blanket-- toasty and secured. 
You’re so strong and wise, I look up to you a lot and want to learn from you in terms of being the pillar of support. 🥺
@needs-serotonin -- Joanna! Muffin, you’re another one of the sweetest, most supportive people in the server. You’re so honest about what you say in the group and know when to say it at the exact time.
Also Joanna, you give off a really cool vibe! Initially, I was a bit shy and unsure on how to approach you but overtime as I warmed up to you, you’re actually pretty easy to get along with! I would love to get to know you better, let’s talk more dear. 
2. Deku protection squad! (Aka dps) :
@suckersuki -- Lei! Sugarplum, you are another one of the sweetest, most supportive people I’ve ever met. You are always there for us when we need it and I love how crackhead you can get hahaha, I still remembered that time when we teased you by shipping you with shinsou hehe. Anyways, back to the original topic of appreciating you, you are a great listener and offer good advice! Also, you’re very easy to talk to and give off a cute vibe! 
Did I mention that I love your writing as well? Your style consists of a mixture of comedy and seriousness. Like, your hcs for the tik tok trend and argument scenario for the bnha boys are really funny; on the other hand, your fic with yandere shoto gives off a completely different aura and it sent shivers down my spine. Miss, pls spare some of them writing skills.
@babydabi -- Mei! Gingerbread, you are a another kind, loving and supportive soul that I have the honor of meeting in the dps. You are really easygoing and considerate. You are not afraid to speak up for your friends, but you do it with a careful choice of words and this shows that you’re really considerate.
As for your writing style, it is much like yourself. You know how to choose the best words to express what you want to and you’re cautious doing so. As I can be a little indecisive on deciding my choice of words, I’d love to learn from you! 
@bakugoustanaccount — Bri! Dear, tbh I was a little intimidated by your vibe when I first met you, bc you just seemed so cool,,, and I’m awkward and still don’t really know how to socialise well with people. But after interacting with you more, you’re actually pretty chill! Let’s talk more, I’d love to get to know you better.
As for your writing style, it has a certain smooth flowing, poetic aesthetic. I fell in love with it the moment I read your latest fic. The way you phrased everything is just so fitting! Pls teach me your ways miss.
@bnhatrashh -- Izzy! Luv, you give off a similar vibe like bri, so I was also kind of intimidated by you at first. But like bri, I opened up to you more and here we are! Let’s get to know each other better, I’d like to talk to you more often.
And I really love, love your way of writing! Your writing style has a pleasant, smooth homey vibe. It’s very soothing to the eyes and your vocabulary complements it really well! 
@cellotonin  —cookie! Love, you’re another one of the sweetest and most supportive people in the dps server ahhhh. You’re always ready to support us whenever and I love your vibe! I’d like to get to know you better sweetie.
Also, I love the way you write! it’s so sweet, warm and ahh so pretty 🥺, did I mention that I love your blog’s aesthetic and theme as well? Your style of writing is mellow and gorgeous! I would love to learn some of that from you pls.
 @hoekaashi — Ash! Dear, you give off a cool and mature vibe. You’re like the awesome aunt of the dps. When I first spoke to you in the dps, I was like “this person is really cool, I’m kinda scared if I mess up”, but that thought quickly faded as I chatted with you more. You’re not only cool, but also super chill, supportive and easygoing! Let’s talk more, I’d love to know you better. 
Also, I really love your way of writing! It has this realistic touch and lets people have the feeling of being in that scenario/situation. Plus, the flow of words are smooth and complements your style! Keep up the good work dear, I look forward to see more works from you in the future.
@xoxo-dede — Dede! Darling, you’re bold, outspoken and really cool. You speak your mind and I like that, also I love your crackhead side. Most of the time, you can say the most hilarious and crackhead things that never fail to crack us up (hahaha, see what I did there? Ok I’ll stop) , you’re a big bouncy ball of energy that we simply can’t get enough of! Oh, and your art style is really cool too!
As for your writing style, it’s simple but has that realistic vibe, like I can see what’s happening clearly through your words and that’s really amazing! Your writing is gorgeous dear.
3. 我的家庭!= my family (tree <3) 
@moonlit-xio -- Ara! My sweetpea, love. You are the sweetest, kindest and most understanding sweetheart I have ever met. You are so selfless and loving, making sure that we’re always accounted for and put us before you. You always make sure to give us the attention, love and support. But love, please let us give you back the love and attention too, for you deserve them as much as us. And you’re absolutely adorable!
And did I mention that the headcanons you come up with for us in the server are absolutely 100% beautiful and on point? No? Well, now you know, because they are. Queen ara, your writing is gorgeous, has a poetic touch and deserves more love, your descriptive skills are immaculate! The words you use to express your writings is just immaculate. Also, you’re very musically talented! Your music taste is delectable and refreshing, not to mention that you have the voice of a siren as well. Your singing is lovely, sweetpea.
@sunshhinnee -- Sunni! My darling pudding, love you are literally sunshine (hahaha,get it? Okay, I’ll stop). You’re so bright, positive and always look at the good side of things even if the going starts to get tough. You bring a warm and chaotic good atmosphere to our server, which serves as a nice distraction whenever I had a bad day or feel upset about something. 
Also, your art-style is really really cute! I like your shortcut way of drawing expressions and the anatomy of your characters haha. It’s not too detailed but you can tell what their expressions are saying and their poses are clear.
@bumbbo -- Max! Bubblegum, you’re another one of the most adorable people I ever met. You’re really easygoing and chill, but can be chaotic good sometimes, I like how crackhead you can get when Sunni is in on it too, haha. I especially love it when you two send memes and funny tiktoks to the group, I do enjoy them very much! Also, have I mentioned how much of a cutie and sweetheart you are? You’re so caring, giving and strong. Always willing to help out and so patient with us.🥺
Also, you have great taste in music and you’re great at writing too! Have I mentioned how on point your headcanons you wrote for us are? If I haven’t, now you know <3. Oh, and your editing skills are superb too! 
@sondering-thoughts -- Aria! Macaron, you’re another one of the sweetest, most understanding, and supportive people in our server. You’re like the server’s mom, living up to your nickname. You always watch out for us and make sure that we are doing well; if we felt down, you never fail to cheer us up by writing comfort headcanons for us and console us with the words we need to hear! Thank you so much, for doing all that for us dear 🥺 Also, the way you fluster us? You’re a pro at it snjssk, you make us blush so easily that it’s unfair 😭😭
And speaking of writing, you sure have a way with words macaron! Your writing has a poetic take in it, which is something I hope to incorporate into my writing style one day.
@what-a-creative-username --Liana! Chocolate chip! My bro to my bromance, the kuroo to my bokuto, the bread to my shinya! Bro, you are another 100% cutie plus sweetie! I love it when you’re being chaotic along with the rest of them and spam the group with memes and chaotic Youtube vines/vids lmao. Also, the aesthetics you made for us are so pretty ahh! 
Besides that, you’re also really considerate and willing to lend an ear. I still remember when I was anxious and vented to you and you let me rant. Then you reassured me and comforted me, which both calmed me down successfully. Thank you love, I appreciate that gesture very much 🥺 . I miss your presence very much in the server, hope we’ll get to talk again and raise hell all together soon!
@txmxkis --Linds! Cake pop, dearie you’re another kind, loving and sweet soul I have the fortune of meeting in the server. If Ari is the mother, then you’re the cool aunt who’s always wiling to hype us up! And support us when we feel down or need someone to vent to ofc. You’re really chill, easygoing and so adorable! Even though you can be a lil mischief and fluster us on purpose sometimes, not that I’ll ever admit it  Your vibe is rly pretty, and okay...I admit that I like you flustering me...maybe a little bit. 
Honourable mentions! :
@cosmicskin --Lily, my dear love. Honestly you’re the sweetest person I first met on tumblr. Back then when you gave me that shout out, I felt happy, shocked in a good way, and honored all at the same time. And yet, you claim that you are not an angel. Sweetie, you are wrong. You are an angel, even if you claim that you are not. And the way you write? Immaculate, your fluff works have a poetic vibe in them and I’m in love with it. Even though you are no longer writing, I still want to say a very big thank you. Thank you for giving us so many beautiful, gorgeous stunning works. 
@keigos-dove --Eli my sweet! Dear, you are another lovely soul that I’m really fortunate to meet here.

Also, you’re really easygoing and I love the way you carry yourself, you’re not only sweet, but also really cool! I love talking to you and the way you write? Absolutely gorgeous.

I like how easy it is to talk to you and rant to you about ons besides bnha lmao, it has been a while but I want to let you know that I enjoy the time I spend with you and hopefully we’ll get to talk again! Also, the fact that you gave me and your fanfic writer friends a shout out on your birthday says that you are not only a sweetheart, but you’re also a really kind and supportive soul 🥺. And boy, your writing? beautiful. Your url complements your writing style perfectly. Your style is simple, but gorgeous and I can easily imagine what is happening in your fics, like I can mentally picture the scene and hear what the characters are saying. Keep up the good work sweetie!

@90s-belladonna -- Aixa! Queen, you’re another one of the coolest, most easygoing people I have ever met! I was kind of awkward when i first talked to you in our dms on twitter, but overtime we got closer and could talk about almost anything! I really love love your laid-back chill vibe, let’s talk more lovely, I enjoy talking to you a lot! Also, have I mentioned how delectable your writing is?

The way you write takes my breath away, I look forward to see more works from you! Keep up the good work <3
@pastelgurlie --Kassy dear, you are really dynamic, funny and outspoken.Thank you for approaching me first on wattpad and dming me, you give off a really fun and cheerful vibe that makes you easy to be around with. Initially,  I was a little stiff and unsure on how to interact with you, but fortunately you were patient and willing to stick around until I came out of my shell ^-^.  Oh, also did I mention how cool your artstyle is? Your style consists of a semi-realistic coupled with elements of anime in it and that’s really awesome! And the way you draw my and Amy’s oc for free? That’s so sweet of you 🥺.

           I’m unsure as to why the old man in the red beret first caught my attention. Perhaps it was his vintage style, plaid sweater vest. I have always been a sucker for plaid. Maybe it was the way his right foot tapped the floor beneath it in a sort of hypnotic, rhythmic patter. Or maybe, it was the way he admired the darling woman with the short silver hair in front of the baristas counter, as she fumbled through her handbag in search of the right number of euros. Regardless of the reason for capturing my gaze, there was no doubt that he had my full attention.
           I watched intently as the old man bent over to tighten the laces on his brown leather shoes. It was a slow journey back to the upright position, but his painful grimace was soon replaced by a smile of sincere admiration directed at the old woman at the barista’s counter, as he watched her delicately make her way towards him. With two white, ceramic mugs in hand (cappuccino’s, I assume), the lady wobbled shakily to meet the man in the red beret. He stood and delicately transferred the mugs from her shaky hands, onto the table. After helping the lady get settled into her chair, the old man in the red beret returned to his own seat, directly across from hers. The couple whispered and giggled as two teenagers in love would, their cappuccinos still steaming in front of them. The bright, green plants which hung above them accentuated the dark glow of their olive skin. Their language was foreign, but the laughter was quite familiar to me. I continued to watch as they held hands from across the table, and spoke so tenderly to one another. The lighting, the beautiful plants, the steaming mugs, her silver hair, his red beret—it was a picture-perfect moment.
           The morning was unusually cool and breezy. It was a nice break from the painfully hot temperature I had experienced the very first day I arrived in Venice. I sat in bed, thinking about all the things planned for the day ahead. Latin at nine, homework, lunch, and a day adventuring through the city! I slowly rose, and with a cat-like stretch, let out a ferocious yawn. Reaching over to my cell-phone on the nightstand beside me, I repositioned myself to be propped uprightly. Scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat was part of my morning routine. I decided to browse through Pinterest to get some ideas for cute photo opportunities in Venice. I imagined the various pictures in my head. The Bridge of Sighs picture, classic gondola picture, cappuccino-in-hand coffee shop picture. I wanted to achieve them all.
           I began to rummage through my suitcase to find the cutest outfit amongst all the cute, but not cute enough for a photoshoot outfits I brought with me. After deciding upon a white dress with colorful flowers, I headed off to Latin to start the day.  
           Upon completing the mandatory Latin class, lunch, and a bit of homework, I closed my computer, and lying on my bed, rested my eyes for a moment. “Are you ready to hit the town!?’ My roommate nudged me with excitement. I came to, and we began to quickly grab our necessities and stuff everything in our bags. We scurried down the steps, five floors to be exact, and busted through the front door. It was nice to finally have some free time to explore. We wondered through the alleyways which seemed to go on forever, then suddenly became a dead end. We ventured through the shops and alongside the glistening canals. “Oh, my goodness!” My roommate clenched my arm with an eager grip. We had stumbled upon arguably the most adorable little dessert shop there ever was. My roommate quickly snatched the camera dangling around her neck and snapped numerous photos. I reached down into my pocket, only to find it empty. I could have sworn I put my phone in this back pocket. I checked the remaining three pockets, and began to rummage through my purse for a few minutes. My phone was nowhere to be found. A rush of anger swept over me, and overwhelmed my entire body. I left it charging on the nightstand. I swung my purse back over my shoulder in frustration. I’m so stupid. I have no camera, nothing else to take pictures with. What an idiot! My roommate saw the irritation on my face and suggested we go somewhere else to continue exploring.
           I continued to pout as we passed hundreds of picture-perfect spots. We eventually came to an adorable coffee shop, and decided to wander inside for some lattes. The latte art was the most adorable I had ever seen. My foam was decorated with tiny hearts, each popping out of the other. Without thinking, I reached for my pocket and found nothing but the ghost of where my phone would have been, had I not been as forgetful. I let out a disgusted sigh. Idiot. What a waste of a perfect latte. Nobody else can see it. After the last sip of our delicious latte’s, we ventured back out into the streets and over the most beautiful bridge. It was coated with flowers of all colors, and contained the initials of various lovers throughout the years. G and J forever. Those are my parents initials! I wish I could send them a picture! I swung my head back with regret. I’m such an idiot for forgetting my phone!
           My roommate tapped my shoulder. She had a wild look in her eye which made me curious as to what might escape her lips next. “I bet K and A stand for Kyle and Amy. I bet Kyle was a country boy from North Carolina, and Amy was a city girl from New York.” I chuckled. “They met at school in Nevada, and left to Italy to be married.” She continued with exaggerated gestures. “Then on the night before their wedding, Amy received word that her father became deathly ill and she had to go home to be with him. So, she decided to leave to spend her father’s last days with him, and then planned on returning to Italy be married to Kyle.” I laughed at her wild imagination. “Amy and Kyle said their goodbyes on this bridge, and carved their initials here in the middle of it as a representation of their eternal love. However, the ship that Amy boarded to journey home was the victim of a crazy storm, and everyone on board was lost at sea. Kyle waited for a call, a letter, or any sign that Amy was home—but nothing came. Kyle was madly in love with Amy and couldn’t accept the fact that she wasn’t coming back to him. So, he came to this bridge every single day for sixty years, hoping Amy would make her way back to him somehow.” I shook my head in disbelief. “That was wildly depressing.” We shared a laugh and bid Amy and Kyle and the bridge farewell.
           We stopped at a little bakery just a few minutes up the canal, and shared the most decadent blueberry muffin in the universe. We danced to the band in Piazza San Marco playing “Volare,” and watched the sun dye the sky a dark pink as it whispered goodnight to Venice. We ate to our hearts content at a fancy dinner spot overlooking the gondola’s sliding across the canals, and happily strode arm in arm back to our apartment for the evening. What a wonderful day it was.
           As I sit here in this coffee shop, observing the old man in the red beret and his lady with the silver hair, I can’t help but reflect on the events of the day prior; the day I forgot my phone. I see it as a blessing now, the fact that I was unable to distort the beauty of firsthand experience through a photographic replica. I think that oftentimes, society can become so fixated on the re-telling and re-capturing of a moment, we forget what it’s like to encounter the original. We lose the intimacy that comes with experience when we feel the need to make every moment a communal affair. The day I forgot my phone, I was forced to be in the moment in a unique way. I learned to see something as beautiful in and of itself, rather than merely as another photoshoot opportunity. I was forced to take in the moment instead of show it off to my friends back home.
           Today, I purposefully left my phone on the nightstand beside my bed. I want to see what the world has for me that only I can see. I want to see what secrets Venice will share with me that will remain between us two. I think the old man in the red beret was a beautiful one. As he grips the lady with the silver hairs hand tightly, the stare they share is one of passion and decades of pure love for one-another. I can’t help but smile. Perhaps Amy made her way back to Kyle after all. This is a picture-perfect moment indeed, but some photos are just better left not taken.
