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

It's funny, but you and I seem to be at about the same stage of life-with-mental-illness... Every time you post something and tell us about how you're doing it's like reading my life (sorta) XD
Aside that, love your art, love the messages in it and love you

The light may show all you have been missing, but it also shows all the things you have and will have.

I just wish I were as strong as you...
I have looked up to you for so long...and you have gone through so much more than me, and are still going through...
And I'm just here thinking on writing my last words tonight...

Hi sweet heart, I'm sorry to hear that
Sounds like you are going through something really tough right now. It can be really hard to pull yourself out of that situation, because to you everything looks dark. That's why it's so important to ask for help. Do you have a friend, relative, or guardian you could talk to about these feelings with? I know it sounds really scary, but it could help.
If not you could consider calling a help line: www.ultimorecurso.com.uy./htm/… and speaking to someone anonymously and confidentially through there.
You reached out today here, perhaps because you wanted some help here, I can't do much more and nudge you in the right direction unfortunately.
I can tell you things will get better, and you can get out of the darkness,
I wish you all the best with your journey

T-thank you dear...
I just...I have no one to talk to, that's why I reach out online...
My parents have know that, for example, I cry myself to sleep every night, but they just tell me to stop crying because they go through worse and don't whine.
So I just keep it to myself...I tried telling my only friend and school, and she began avoiding me and stopped talking to me...
And everyone always leaves...I just don't know if I'm fit for life anymore...I just feel like a waste of space...
(Thanks for the help, I'm sorry to waste your time, and I hope you manage to recover babe, you do deserve a better life

I'm happy to hear you are doing better, finally
And the art, it looks amazing as always, love the contrast of light/dark and green/oranges! Her expression is great, too.

I like it. It's a very emotionally touching piece, with a powerful message behind it. The red-lit fingers pertains to an emotional wound-- the worst kind of hurt. Her expression, on the other hand, says "I'm getting better."

You'll find that the light is more loving than the darkness.
It is a truly beautiful picture. I hope you are doing well.
