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

There's no need to apologize for it looking "rough." It looks amazing like this. ^^ You're such an inspiration to me. To get better at art, that is. It's something I'm really passionate about and I one day hope to be as good as you in the terms of my own art style.

Without reading the description you can really feel the emotion in this piece with the use of colors and lighting compared to previous pieces of yours. This one really stood out to me in a good way, of course.
I really hope you can fully come to terms and learn to fight your mental illness and not let it get the best of things so you can accomplish what you want when you want without it getting in the way. Keep strong and continue to draw, your works are always so stunning

This is absolutely beautiful blue!!! Especially for rough work! personally i love the feel of sketchy rough digital painting and this is absolutely amazing, it's quite cool to see you use more muted and realistic colours compared to your other stuff, which is still amazing as well of course c:
I'm also super glad to hear that your mental health is on the up, you are so strong and inspiring <3 It's so great that you've been eager to do more things, i hope you're taking lots of breaks and drinking lots of water

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful! Lovely work here, I love how it captures the lighting in all effects.
I'm sure you'll soon be able to grow back into those shoes, and get to all of those missing things, but for now you're trying your hardest, and your art is no exception.

"At least the darkness lies to me" So true, so true. It seems so much easier to hide in the darkness than light sometimes, I know how that feels.. I am so glad you are doing better now!

I don't know what its like for you, or have any idea in comprehending what its like to be in your situation, i can only imagine how hard it is. but I've had moments in depression where i wished someone would say to me what I've said to you, something nice to keep me going.
You deserve something bright and i meant every word.
