Discussion Art is like having the control

[obei]

Ngl the only thing aside from my family being devestated that keeps me from ctbing is art.
I struggle with an eating disorder as well, and having art as a healthier way to have control is really important to me.
You can literally do anything when doing art; clothe someone differently than in reference, put a character in any position, have them make any face you want them to have.
I feel like this can be very healthy for a lot of you guys. You dont have to draw good or anything, just have your imagination do everything. It is really the only thing that I have rn that is going for me.
Anyways, here is a few artworks of mine

yeap there pretty good
i like programming

Dude your artwork is hella amazing!!!! I feel the same way about art. It's so amazing to get lost in a piece for hours as everything melts away, I also love how you can do anything with art. I'm very passionate about it and it's so cool to see someone who feels the same way :D

Lets share art in dms if you want :)

These tips could help your creativity to better path:

1: Work in comfy, recourful and innovative environment.

2: Try to set on flow state.*

3: Practice, learn, and you will eventually get better- more skilled and creative.

&: Keep a record. Some journaling while drawing could help you analyze and bring up ideas.

*: Music, suplements, substances, ect...

Sorry for the late reply, yeah that would be great!!! I would love to see more of your work :] although mine is mostly in anime style I hope that's okay lol :> I love the fluttershy pfp btw!!

Having some kind of occupation that keeps you alive in a way, I think is recognizable for a lot of people. I like drawing and 3d-modelling a lot, you can just get lost for hours doodling about or getting frustrated over why something isn't working. It's a nice change of paste from worrying about your existance or chasing deadlines that don't really matter. I must say tho, your drawing skills are far beyond mine, that alexander portrait looks amazing

Art is a great way to express feelings. It is therapy. But I often am to depressed to do anything, although I have a creative vein. Your work looks very nice.

I can relate very much. It took me years to bring this voice inside my head to shut up.
