I have taken a step away from online things due to back issues. Again 🫠 Mental health always worsens if I am not 100% physically because it just feels like everything is going wrong, and my mental health is hardly great to begin with. Anyways, here is my cat! He loves his tunnel 🥰

In more positive vibes in this grim world, here is my cat playing in his tunnel today 💕

I never do this, but in the thread are the words I put behind the page, almost like a journal entry. I don't know what else I can do with the state of the world, so I channelled it into some imperfect neurographic art. Sending love to everyone struggling 💕

I came to share this colouring I did but ended up scrolling and absolutely raging again at stuff coming out of the US under the Trump administration and I just have no words, but I'll quote the late amazing Janey Godley, "Trump is a c*nt". Page is from Hikaru Kotz's Cat Moments.

Zentangle! It took me so long to do, days because I couldn't keep focus, which is very standard, unfortunately. I am proud of the result nonetheless, and got to try pencil shading. Did I do it well? Nah, but I can learn to and I'll get there.

There is an AI trend on Tiktok where AI makes two people in a photo hug, and idk, just something about it all triggers my psychosis. Especially when it is a photo of someone who's dead. Oh boy. I hope it is not just me it freaks out.

I finally coloured in again! First time this month 😅 Page is from Hygge Heaven by Sui Sui. I had so much fun with this one, and love how textured it looks with the acrylic markers used. I was dreading this page because some from the previous page bled through but it is not noticeable! 🥳

"Allow the ghosts of your past become the flowers of your future." I made another doodle of this that was meant to be more "refined," but I actually really prefer this simple little one. I have not been doing well with some things from the past, so I'm letting this be a little message to myself.

I have been quiet. Truthfully, I could be doing better. I don't want to get TMI on here about some things. One thing I forgot is that if I played video games or looked at a screen for too long, I hallucinate. Cue me seeing my sims in my flat. What do you even do with that? If you don't laugh 😂

I feel there is something meditative about Sims 1 freeplay on the PS2. It reeks of banality at one point when your sim maxes on career and already has a partner and 2 kids but in a destructive world where impending doom feels round the corner, it's very relaxing and somewhat even grounding.

Today's doodle. A bit of neurographic art and zentangles. Trying to process some things that came up over the weekend. Nothing new, just something I blocked out for years that came back to me. I can either dwell or make pretty art from it 🤷‍♀️

What is the the little ball inside bells made of? My cat may have somehow ate it. I noticed the bell on the cat toy he loves stopped ringing today and I am lowkey freaking out. Before people ask, no, I don't leave him with the toy. It's like a feather on a wire dangly thing I need to wave about.

Some drawings from yesterday. Copied from Journal with Purpose by Helen Colebrook. I figured it would be good to follow through with some of the doodles and just embrace the fact mine will look different, and that's OK. I am enjoying this process of finding the joy in my own drawing style.

I drew Chappell Roan by accident. I have shared the full picture already, I drew other things (terribly) too before I seen the Grammys, but I don't think people understand how freaked out I was when I caught up and seen Chappell's outfit. 😂

I was taught this is how you do automatic art on Monday, and this is what I got from it. I am extremely new to drawing, can you tell? Anyways, looking back, I think I accidentally drew Chappell Roan at the Grammys before it happened, as well as my huge cat, an octopus, a llama bean, and many fish.

Tried drawing from reference today. Photos by me. The cat drawing is cursed but I am proud of the rest. Make bad art. Interpret that as you wish. I think once you let go of the fear of doing bad, you allow yourself to just try. It's surprisingly freeing.

I don't know what style this is. Frankly, I am making drawings 5-8 year old me would have lived for. It's freeing to draw childishly for fun and just don't care. I call this style "Drawings that would have made Mrs C bring back the belt." Weirdly, I feel ready to try drawing "properly" now.

I am declaring my art style for the time being "drawings that would make my primary 1 teacher bring the belt back... BUT SHE CAN'T HURT ME NOW" because I am trying to be aesthetic and make something worth sharing but it is turning out to be childish nonsense. It is freeing, though...

I tried automatic drawing or automatic art. It's made me realise I need to come to peace with a few things: 1) I am not aesthetic 2) I love a Simpsons reference 3) If I have a style, it is Spongebob meets Picasso 4) I canny help but add writing, I don't even realise I am doing it. Yay 😂

I've been posting less because I am just enjoying the process of being creative for now. It's nice to just look at what I do and feel happy with it. Comparison is the thief of joy and I need remember I am pretty much still a beginner, at least to drawing. These are tulips I drew. I am proud of them!

Been drawing instead of my usual doodles and colouring. I am enjoying the process and I am trying to be more forgiving on myself because the idea of drawing was daunting (and still is) but I am growing fond of what I do after I have slept 😅

I haven't posted because I have been trying to draw. It is an absolutely new concept to me so for now, it is just doodles. My page is just full of cute doodles and some questionable flower doodles 😂 I will get there one day!

It's "mental health matters" until it is mental illness and it's symptoms they're uncomfortable with. "Why can't you do this?" "Why do you do/see/hear that?" It's almost like I am diagnosed with numerous complex mental health issues. Shocker. 🫠 But they'll post the green ribbon & heart for clout 💚

Today's colouring in! Yes, I coloured in today. I haven't in ages because I felt so overwhelmed with everything and seeing people's beautiful pages made me feel so rubbish. But I remembered comparison is the theif of joy and I just did it for fun tonight. I enjoyed the process of just creating 💕

pick up an analog hobby, I'm so serious. something that holds your attention and is fun for you, literally anything. Collect and identify bread tags or something, just don't fall into the trap of doomscroll paralysis again
