Description
It's been dark so long, the light is blinding. Its sharp harsh white rips my life open and shows, with naked clarity, all that I've been missing. At least the darkness lies to me.
~Just coming to terms with loosing a chunk of my life to mental illness
Mental health wise I'm on the up, but at the moment I'm tired a lot, which is frustrating because I want to do things but my limits are still small; accepting and working within them has been a challenge, but I'm getting there
I just want to jump on board all the things I've been missing out on! Been doing lots of pencil sketching, and speedpaints, since they aren't too demanding, and I can stay inspired
This is a 4 hour, polished up speedpaint, from photo reference. You guys said you'd like to see more of my rough work - So here this is!
The image is based on a photo I saved some time ago to my hard drive. I have a folder of photos of people who have left kind comments to me, who's photo look interesting, so I save them to draw - Sometimes I don't get round to it, mostly I don't like the drawings I do of people, so I hardly ever share or show them. I usually save the name of the person so I can find them - but I didn't here! So say hello if this looks like you and one of your photos! Thank you, and hope you don't mind! It's a bit weird I know XD (The likeness not great, sorry XD I got the mood of it though)
Peace, Love and Ocular Adaptation,
Blue xx

I like the darkness, it’s calming there. I don’t like light it’s bright and it’s too harsh. I also think better when it’s dark out.

Interesting part about the light/ darkness— like how it goes with this drawing. Beautiful lighting.

The dark doesn't lie, nor does the light. They both show their own perspectives, each denigrating the other, and you choose which to see through. I made my choice a long time ago, but it looks like you still have that choice. Choose what path you think will help you most, and choose wisely.

Very nice. I like how she has one eye peeking through her fingers, like she wants to look out the window even though it's too bright.

I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your style and emotion in your art. I tend to silently favourite them, but you should know how inspiring your work is, and how relatable your descriptions for them are. For me personally, my feelings, present and past are very much in line with what you've expressed. You communicate your journey with a clarity I wish I knew how to express in my own art. People like you are definitely who I feel I can learn that the most from. Thank you for sharing, I wish you all the best.
