Disabilities Don't Define Who You ARE!

“Nothing about us without us” is a protest against discrimination of disabled people. And in my drawing I tried my best to get inspiration from this protest and draw it out. I drew people that couldn't talk, hear, walk, had ADHD, and was from LGBTQ+ community. I drew people who look different and added different things. I put on top of my drawing, “Disabilities don't define who you ARE!” because that is what I wanted to get out into the world. I tried my best to make it as neat as i can but I couldn't. Well, I'm proud of my drawing because I'm making this to protest something that can include everyone! Well I do have some things I do or don't like like how messy the top of one of the women is. But next time i'll take my time and be careful of where I add bold strokes.
