Sometimes I colour in, sometimes I draw nonsense, sometimes I show off my cat, sometimes I crochet. I am like a weird pot luck.

He was an absolute menace during the Scottish Indy Ref and it really disappoints me that it will take something to this degree for people to realise he is a disgrace to journalism and nothing more than a conservative sensationalist.

(4/4) I purposely "botched" the purple section at the bottom to represent these imperfect and uncertain times.
My hopes from this is that all realise the dangers of fascism and fight against it, and we all need to band together to oust this evil.

P.S. Trans Lives Matter.

(3/4) I chose a variety of colours to represent the diversity of the world we must hold close during these divisive times.
I chose orange to reclaim it from the current US' president's (not king!) terrible fake tan, and placed it left as this is the direction the world needs to take for peace.

(2/4) For this piece, I wanted to process some uncomfortable feelings about things happening in the US politically.
I feel we are quickly approaching a new world war with Trump and his administration, and I don't know what else I can do besides make art and stay calm and focused.

Thank you! I love those particular colours and I feel the picture doesn't do them justice 😅

Thank you, it is so fun to do and I feel the meditative action from the zentangle compliments the processing side of neurographic art so well.

Oh, and a snake. I drew a snake. Reputation Taylor's Version when now? And hearts because who doesn't love hearts (pardon the pun?)

Exactly! It was really fun to just doodle and see what happened, even if it was childish 😂

Thank you so much Kim! I am going to try drawing upside down today and see how it goes!

This was my inspo btw. Instructions on the site were absolutely useless to a beginner tbh but the reference drawing was good to start with, not ridiculously detailed. I forgot to do the little leaves 😅

I feel a tough part is accepting whatever I draw will not be photographic quality. Having done photography for so long, I feel I am competing with what I could do with photos, which is automatically placing me at an unfair disadvantage from the get go and I need to let that go.

🧡 I will be honest, got to following you from promosky when I started my account and looked up colouring in. You seemed like a good person to start my bluesky with 😅

Aww thank you! It wouldn't have been weird at all! I do get in my own head sometimes and I think I have been like that recently. I've been trying to get out more which means I have less to share so I just didn't think 😅

Thank you Grace, it's sad but reassuring to know it isn't just me who feels that weird, kinda like secondhand hurt from comments directed at others like that!

You're absolutely right. Thank you. They haven't said anything to me directly but they bad mouth people with similar issues to me and it just makes me think "well what the hell do you think about me because I am like that, if not worse!" and then they wonder why I don't trust them 😅

Please don't get it twisted, I am not saying mental health issues is an excuse for the inexcusable. I iust wish people understood what it is like to constantly keep your mind in check when it feels against you. It is so exhausting and yes, things like hygiene, cleanliness, cooking, it slips.

There are only so many symptoms I can express in 300 characters and I thought of the most common I hear them moan about. I wish they knew how it felt to feel like cooking or cleaning could be the difference between swimming and sinking, and how it sucks to feel pushed down when trying to swim.

Only ones that don't streak so bad for me are alcohol markers but even with them, I get streaks. I just use an acrylic pen or two to add something over it and call it detailing. But then you're not meant to use alcohol markers on standard paper so either way, I am not doing it "right" 😂

Thank you! I always question how good I am with markers because the ink just spreads to where I didn't want it to go sometimes, and I think "well that bit is a smidge ruined..." so I appreciate that! Pencils are so fun to colour with, I wish I was better at using them!
