I've mentioned in a previous post about my first experience with a dissociative episode, and how I made up voices and assigned them to my characters in an attempt to comfort myself. During that short period I saw several vague images of them in my mind and one stuck with me and I wanted to draw it. Ashley being hugged by her friends during a dark, scary moment. I think this is exactly what I wanted to feel at the time but was so impossible and far away so I had to imagine it instead, with both of them saying nice things to her, or me but I felt less like myself and more like her.

I hope I don't dissociate again anytime soon but at least I got a nice idea for a picture out of it, among other things.

saw some art that inspired me to open up mspaint and make this doodle of Ash.

mspaint is hard to work with and I kept putting in too much pressure with my pen because I'm used to that making a difference but not in this software, so ouch. I think she looks okay-ish though.

I wanted to practice/learn how to draw birds better so I sketched this up last night at 3 AM, she's a raven girl. still have ways to go with learning how to draw beaks but I'm okay with how this turned out!

depression inspires art about depression I think, this sketch is that. trying to convey somehow how heavy the face feels when you're depressed, so you just end up looking.. not sad but just tired and done with everything.

I've been doing a few bust sketches recently because that's my comfort zone, I need to finish a bunch of other more elaborate pieces but these are relatively quick to do since I'm not doing lines or anything that takes a long time to do.
