That’s really good, in pen too !! Iv been learning to sketch for the past few weeks it’s really enjoyable.
I am trying to teach my self so I can sketch portraits of my kids it pencil and it looks like a photo… like what you are doing there.

You should do more, for me it really helps my mental health too as once you start it’s all I can concentrate on.

Started as a doodle to make sure I had expression eyebrows correct and became it’s own mini sketch thing

Found some of my old art from high school and right before I started using very heavily. It was very humbling and wild to look at it and think of how much skill I had 13-14 years ago.
I was so close to going to art school but but was influenced by some adults around me that it wouldn’t be a great idea and I wasn’t the type to push back at that point, so.

Trying to get back in touch with that; the focus is there again now that I’m clear headed which is exciting. It’s really like riding a bicycle, I still have the skill set, I just have to reawaken that part of myself.

I know this is just a tiny doodle but I have some other unfinished full scenes that I’d like to finish and put up here soon

Nice! I loved art when I was a kid, and was never encouraged either. Reconnecting has been really good for me. I love seeing others get reconnected! We live in a world that disconnects us from our inner artist.

Thanks!
And well said, it’s such an unlearning process of removing the “hustle” culture/grindset. The guilt I’ve had to grapple with and get over to do things I actually just…enjoy, for the sake of happiness, is wild.
The concept of doing something for myself without monetizing it or whatever felt almost foreign to me until recently, honestly. Also stepping away from all my social media forms except here has hastened changing that thought pattern that as well.
Happy to do it though, it’s brought me back to art and teaching myself piano, and that’s pretty exciting
