I’ve decided to separate my digital and traditionally drawn pictures into different accounts. Pet drawings are a rediscovered passion of mine, and I feel a bit better about giving them their own space. I will continue to post pictures with furry themes here 😊

Neulich wurde mir ein Foto von diesem kleinen Kerlchen - oder Dame - in meinen Feed gespült. Das Lichtspiel hat mir so gut gefallen, dass ich es als Anreiz für eine neue Mini-Zeichnung nutzen musste.

Besitzerin und Fotografin ist @buchstabenliebe.bsky.social 🙂

Thank you so much! I’m really trying to lean on this way of thinking. All of this puts a lot of pressure on me. I hope I’ll get to work with a good doctor.
May I ask what diagnosis you received?

Thank you, Juri! I think I’ve already written down half a lifetime’s worth of everyday examples… since I tend to completely blank out during conversations. I really hope it helps. It feels very uncertain when you can hardly provide any reports from childhood.

This doesn’t really belong here, but I just have to share it among like-minded people:
I’ve just requested an appointment for an ADHD assessment. I’m incredibly nervous. Please keep your fingers crossed that I get some meaningful results. My imposter syndrome is really loud right now.

🤍 That feeling captivated me as well when we were there. I think the mountains clearly show how powerful and timeless nature is. The area feels almost protected by them. It made me sad to see how overcrowded some of the peaks were with tourists.

A friend of mine grew up in Canada, and she says the Rocky Mountains make her feel very homesick. If I weren’t so afraid of flying, I’d love to see them in person.

I cried when we left the Alps.
I had never felt such awe before.
The mountains gave me something indescribable.

I’ve published a new donation goal on Ko-Fi! You’ll find lots of information about it there.
Thank you so much for all your support, not just through donations, but also by sharing & liking my posts. It means a lot to me to receive such kind and encouraging feedback.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Laura Finchwood @laurafinchwood.bsky.social · May 24

Good morning everyone,
I’ve set up a donation goal on Ko-Fi!
I’m currently on the road to recovery and wishing for a new pair of running shoes to help me take better care of my body again. Since my apprenticeship salary no longer allows for such purchases, I’m truly grateful for any support! (1/2)

Oakstone helped me out with my last donation goal and, as a thank-you from me, requested a drawing of my own character Goldfink. It was the first time I had the chance to draw her again! Thank you again so much.

Quoting with an animal that's you!

(You only know Lion Laurie, who represents me as a whole, but there are actually three more side characters, each carrying a part of my life! Labrador Hailey, Horse Morgana, and Aardvark Mathilda!)

For every donation over €20, I’ll create a small thank-you drawing (see description for details).
The drawings are not to be considered a commission - I simply want to express my gratitude for your support. Please note that I work exclusively with artistic freedom!

Take care of yourselves! 🫶 (2/2)

A tribute to one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
The composition and meaning are truly touching. I felt the need to do something with it.

Je t'en prie
Fuis ce tableau maudit
Cette toile d'une fausse vie

Portrait rêvé
Imparfait
Chaîne de ta liberté"

Current wip for @laurafinchwood.bsky.social 💖 Thank you so much for your patience. I did a completely new version of the first idea and all of that took a while. Now I'm so happy with the new result. I can't wait to do the shading ✨️
