Beach day
Hello everyone! Today I went to the beach, was really nice and calm, I enjoyed it so much, too bad I had forgotten the sun cream and I got burned.
Ps, this is the first time I draw on digital, I hope is not that bad
That's why I'm so sensitive about Sand. I relate to him so much it hurts. He's a person who has learned that there's no point in expecting anything from people. He doesn't see himself as anyone special, as someone who can be "the one". He takes responsibility for his feelings and doesn't blame anyone for being hurt. But he feels so,so much. He cares more than he can take and more than others can appreciate. He's doomed to get hurt and I am too.
And that is absolutely tragic
You know what absolutely kills me about this? Sand doesn't even look surprised. He isn't teary or wide-eyed. It's a look of pure disappointment. The kind that says he knew this would happen from the start, and he's utterly powerless to stop it.
While seeing Sand breaking down in tears would have been devastating, there's something very achy about this reaction. It's hard to put into words.
Sand
Change a single letter and change the word game
I want to play a game with you all.
You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.
Dirt
Two vaps named splash. The one on the right is mine.
One of upcoming characters. Evelar wandering hunter, who will be featured on some future artwork. He is one of darkarian species. Who looks like anthro dragons, but actually not related to dragons in any way. And they do not like being mistaken. Evelar is part of "Sun" supspecies, who lives in region which consist mostly savannas and deserts. They can sustain extreme heat and are closer to fire element. Many of them gifted fire mages. Soon i will upload more sketches of this species and more background about them.
Thank goodness the weather cleared up last weekend and we're able to have fun on the beach...😎😎😎🏖🌞🌴🌴🍹 #beach #sea #ocean #roadtrip #naturephotography #photooftheday #sun #sand #blue https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Dv81kp-GD/?igshid=bl7sjavur2fg
A redraw of a screenshot I saw somewhere. But eh this was chill to draw. And I couldn't say no.
The piece for my art course portfolio is finally finished !!!!! :’DDD

Final product! I’m proud of this one, well worth it!
This might be the trickiest thing I’ve drawn so far. I’m planning on finnishing it properly, this is how it’s going so far.

We See Seashores Shifting with Satellites
If you’re like us, as soon as the summer Sun is out, you start feeling – well, just beachy, sand you very much.
Lots of our favorite beaches are inside protected marine areas, which are regulated by governments to keep their ecosystems or cultural heritage intact. If you beachcomb at Cape Cod, swim in the Florida Keys or learn about Hawaiian culture at Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, congrats! You’ve visited a protected marine area.
But time and tide haven’t been kind to some protected beaches.
Beaches are constantly changing, and science teams are using our 30-year record of Earth images from the NASA/USGS Landsat program to study what’s happening.
Overall, the sum total of sandy beaches has increased a bit over the last 30 years. But time and tide haven’t been as kind to our protected beaches – the team found that more than 1/3 of sandy beaches in protected marine areas have been eroding away.
Some of these areas were designated to protect vulnerable plant and animal species or connect delicate ecosystems. They are home to humpback whales and sea turtles, reefs and mangroves that protect the land from erosion and natural disasters, and species which are found in only one habitat in the world. Losing land area could upset the balance of these areas and endanger their future.
Next step: Looking for pearls of wisdom to save the beaches!
Right now, we aren’t sure which beaches are eroding due to natural processes, and which are due to humans – that’s the next step for science teams to investigate. Once we know the causes, we can start working on solutions to save the beaches.
Those 30 years of Landsat data will help scientists find answers to these questions much faster – instead of using airplanes or measuring the beaches by hand, they can use computer programs to rapidly investigate millions of satellite photos spanning many years of change.
By tracking beaches from space, scientists can help keep our summers sandy for years to come.
And that makes us as happy as clams.
