In 2021 I downloaded the demo to Colors! Live on my switch in the summer time since I wasn't able to get the full game and spent countless hours browsing the gallery thinking "HOW CAN PEOPLE DO THIS??!!?!" and seeing how much love and thought that was put into each and every piece was really so cool to me having never been on an online platform before that shared art. So many talented people drawing things that made them, them and i felt so safe there thinking I would one day like to be able to-

comfortably express myself through art without the fear of getting bullied. In 2022 i was able to purchase the game by selling an old doll house, i never put a cartraige in my system faster in my life. I was so excite to draw my first ever digital artwork. So i grabbed my sketchbook and flipped through to see what drawing i could re-create, which i then found a porco rosso drawing and i thought it was perfect, not too detailed and fairly simple. After finishing i was so proud of my first digital

piece, only to find out i wasn't old enough to post yet. I then began redrawing my favorite scenes from things i enjoyed like Studio Ghibli. A year went by with only about 10 paintings in my gallery and i realized i was old enough to post. from there i uploaded my old artwork and created hundreds (literally) within the first year. I got so much love and made great friends which i never thought would be possible.

from recreating anime scenes to drawing my own original fanart is something i thought i'd never be able to do. Without the support of the many fantastic artists on here i would have quit a long time ago. I cannot express how much this amazing community means to me and i cannot thank you all enough, this is absolutely insane!

WOAH HECK YEAH CONGRATS!!!!

from an 11 year old hiding under the covers browsing the colors gallery to an almost 16 year old, still hiding under the covers, creating art for the same community I would go to all those years ago to find such warmth and comfort from the community and the art and people inside of it.
