Best of luck to those still at work today too. See you later! Am done with online training now and feeling a bit sleepy. But first, to cook + eat late brunch. :3 PS. Salamat pa rin sa paghihintay post-OL training... kahit nandito lang kami both hehehe. ♡♥︎

At the end of it too, everyone was satisfied with their portrait sketches and agreed to send the guest artist sweets/desserts days later as further token of appreciation (hey, was not the only one who suggested it, swear XDD). All's well that ends well. :3

Not really about being "more beautiful" or "favored", when honestly, there is usually more logical factors at play. The guest artist is as professional as they can be too. Lastly, it is the usual trope of self-perception too: for example, I disagree... /20

Because my co-teachers were lightly joking around and poking fun at how it was "unfair" that I was "sketched like that". However, there are actually more realistic and boring reasons as to WHY, which both OP's message and the guest artist's comments... /16

Which brings me to my next point too: while of course grateful that they found the sketch fun to do---which DOES explain why it looks "alive" or "well-done" as per everyone's synonymous feedback---learned that it is not really being biased or anything. /15
