︵‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿︵ ★ cozyday ★ issue 3 ~ May 11th ★ 2026 hello my little cozies and big children, here's today's update \(^-^)/ ✦ mini riddle ✦ I get smaller when you use me, and I make color go away. What am I? ★ personal update ★ I have these two really annoying boys in my class (social studies and english) and they both got referrals today. it made me weirdly happy ? on a different note, I am pushing the freebies back a little more and prioritizing the pays I have to do for @lost_misfortune. I'll still try to make some designs here and there, but prepare for maybe around a month-ish wait. I'm literally so sorry, but what has to be done has to be done. ✦ cozy thoughts and advertisements ✦ summer is getting closer and honestly that means more sunsets, more staying up too late, more cold drinks, and more time to create random things for no reason ^^ also reminder that your art doesn’t have to be perfect to deserve attention. messy art, experimental art, and silly little doodles are still worth making <3 if you want to make a change and are prepared to bring happiness to the world, go check out the sunshine spreaders movement on @TealAndCozy! ★ shout-out corner ★ newest follower: @sandstormwc1 ★ welcome to the community! I hope you'll like it here :) random follower: @purplecatbunny friend spotlight: @OGSunnyFromWoF ★ sunny is amazing, with a beautiful personality, super cute art, and delicious designs. go leave a lil follow and spread some brightness ^^ cool person/dreamie spotlight: @peekyboo_ ★ one of sunny's best friends, with beautiful art and another amazing personality! she asked if she could get to 2k by the end of May. I said bet. now we gotta help her achieve her goal >:D random note: both of these people have already survived the attack of the cozy army and received follows from all 56 of my alternate accounts, so now you're on your own. :D ✦ mini art tip ✦ fancy brushes won't magically improve your art. most art programs that focus mainly on brushes aren't really worth it by themselves. what's ACTUALLY useful is lots of layers, blending modes, and alpha lock/clipping features. try using just a smooth round brush and an airbrush for a while — you might be surprised by how much cleaner your art becomes ^^ ★ nature fact ★ coconuts can float across entire oceans and still grow into palm trees after washing up on beaches ^^ ✦ art/history fact ✦ some artists purposely use slightly different colors in shadows instead of just darker versions of the same color. this is called “color temperature,” and it’s why skin, sunsets, and tropical art can look way more alive and vibrant ^^ ★ tiny poll/question ★ do I overuse this guy \(^-^)/ or any of the similar emoticons? /(^-^)\ --(^-^)-- and more ✦ mini prompts ✦ drawing prompt ~ sunsets and stars design prompt ~ yellow flowers and leaves writing prompt ~ someone is stranded on an island where something strange washes ashore... ★ answer to the riddle ★ an eraser ^^ that's all for today's cozyday!! ★ take a break from screens now and go live your amazing life \(^-^)/ ︵‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿︵ next article: tomorrow! this week's weekly page: previous article:
