Description Hi everyone! So the whole first half of the year I was suffering from severe depression. Last month I've found a solution for this problem and since then I feel much better. I restarted my learning, filled up one sketchbook of faces, read a book, watched a few tutorials and made a lot of progress with portraits. I still have some kind of personality disorder which I haven't been able to identify yet, but for now I'm happy that I'm in a good condition to progress my studies.

I) A random girl form the internet
II) Self-portrait
III) I don't know her very well, I just asked her to pose for me
To anyone interested in handling depression: check out cognitive therapy, Aaron Beck and David Burns in particular.

Man that's hard to hear, but it's great you're understanding what you're going through better. I really like your art, it would be a shame if that stops you. Going back to your roots is always good nice sketches by the way

Thanks for the support. Going back to actively learning and painting and drawing really helps me, feels like I would never allow deppression to overcome me again! Art is my medicine I enjoy to see how fellow artists grow and master their skills
