Fun new drawing meme (for me personally)
I have a list of 265 words (so far) of various words I've found that I didn't know of (or am familiar with but don't actually know the definition) that I thought were interesting.
Send me a number 1-265 and I'll try to draw something based on the corresponding word on my list!
(You could even send multiple that I'll have to try to put together lol)
