FCUK THE MAINSTREAM

So, since the wind decided to run 117km per hour and people are freaking out, I decided to draw stuff with the intention to not give a shit about anyone. My obsessive compulsive trait is very pleased of all the thin repetitive lines. Here I am working on the photocopy of the sorta-cleaned up lineart cause I want to try different things before actually drawing on the cool expensive paper.
What are you doing you creative freaks? What is your approach to your creative things? Are you super cautious or you just do the thing not giving a shit of how it will turn out in the end?

like the contrast of soft & angular there.

i drew all the time as a kid & young teen, but not now. keep meaning to pick it back up, but where to begin? these days i am a very slow writer.

My suggestion is: start wherever. Even on a post it note. Never plan on doing it else you won't do it. I am starting to draw again thanks to my therapist cause I'm an idiot and I couldn't draw on my own again after years.

hmm, i do hate plans...

if you don't mind me asking, what help did your therapist give you to start anew? words of wisdom or homework?

ALSO THANK YOU for the feedback, I'm an idiot

...it's weird to say but it makes me talk with the little parts of my brain. Or parts of myself. Or..well. my multiple selfs. And nope I'm not bipolar nor I have multiple personalities, apparently EVERYONE has these. URR it's weird to explain but yea. One of my parts needs to draw to ease the suffering or else my urge to stop my pain comes out in trying to kill myself

there's a bunch of random strangers in my noodle at any given time, it's cool.

oh, well... pls keep drawing, then! ^_^

I try. I can't die yet. I still have to molest @Code before leaving this world.

I love seeing wips. It's cool to see the tools or your trade too. Updates!

It's great people are posting creative stuff to the board. I like seeing that. I've spent so much time on work and study, which is not creative at all, so this is all like fresh air. I haven't done anything too creative lately. Nothing big anyway, just a few little things. It felt good

When I start to get creative my work suffers. I have great difficulty in swapping between tasks and prioritising.

Damn straight.

But you're not allowed to die after that either.

Also, stop being awesome at everything.

I have the very same problem. I was supposed to continue the work but I changed my desk and did stuff to my room. I'll show you guys when it will be all cool

I'm hoping to get back into drawing soon. I'm still slowly stepping up with my meds and I'm hoping to feel better once they start taking effect. Then maybe I'll actually feel like doing things, other than just sleep.

Take your time! We'll be happy to see once you're ready!


.... I drew the outfit I want to wear on Saturday night because I never go out and I'm nervous and I'm always thinking certain clothes don't suit me at all.

I always feel awkward wearing skirts and dresses or blouses and other feminine clothes. I'd loooooove to wear more of that, and I'd looooove to look more feminine. But it just makes me feel like a transvestite somehow. Like people are laughing at me behind my back because I look like a fat dude trying to look like a woman. So I just stick to leggings and big hoodies. D:

WELCOME TO MY WORLD.

and I'm wearing a skirt sat. A long skirt. WHICH I LOVE. But I always feel it makes me look like some dwarf with bad taste. But I decided I don't give a shit I'll wear it. I'm kinda forcing myself to wear some little dresses, nothing too fancy cause I LOVE feeling a little more feminine and I love dresses but I have fucking complexes. And I don't want those to win over my happiness. Also they've been doing it for way too long.

Sounds like we're in the same boat there. And you're gorgeous! I can only imagine you're going to look absolutely stunning on Saturday! :heart

Oh don't worry I'll still wear it with a Ramones sweater and boots, BUT STILL LONG SKIRT AND RED LIPSTICK ARE FEMININE ENOUGH.



I'm trying. Drawing myself in the outfit made me feel a little better.
