made this a few months ago when i was feeling much worse, but it finally got me to put my hands on a canvas again & figure out my art style! i'm so proud of it; it's one of the first things that turned out like i wanted it to in my head. (i like going back over the painting with white paint pen & black ballpoint pen to make it look more sketchy & graphic)

i've been struggling a lot lately and one thing my therapist really stressed is that i need to push myself to do things i love even though i don't get the same satisfaction i once got
so today i got my coloured pencils out after a loong time and started drawing and i already feel a bit better
so i wanted to share this small step
it's not the best art but its art <3

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

This is the only thing that keeps me sane at work. It's so slow right now. If anyone is wondering why I've posted like 9 times today.

i always get stuck choosing which stuff to watch/read/get into next when i look at my huge former watchlists & TBR's. a lot of items are things i put on there years ago and never got around to, so usually by the time i check the list again, my tastes have totally changed. i realized it was hard to get myself excited or motivated about half the stuff i put on there anymore, but i felt indebted to knocking it out anyway just because it was on the list. i'd recommend letting your current feelings/impulses take the wheel, and trust that you'll come back around to any of the other options if they're right for you later on.
