newly troubled mind trapped and left behind anger hidden in tears blood of the deceased digging in the mirror looking for a view that would be clearer than just a guess overshadowed with meds crawling out of my skin thinking of a deadly sin am I still sane? mind is boiling body stays the same just a bunch of scratches hiding in red ashes of the soul what do I have to do to gain control?

I call this one the Crying Fairy.

I love to picture her as a young black woman with the beautiful curly hair and full lips... Also the purple color felt right.

I've been trying to draw a lot with the help of references. This one came from a picture of a boy staring at the underground tunnel ceiling... I quite like the facial expression.

[asimpleartist]

Just drew a pair of girl sketches.

[TW: self destruction, dying etc.]

I call this one The Shadow Guy.

At first he appears just as a simple shadow of a man, possible with concerning blood bursts coming from his arms.

However, once you get into his mind, you get to see all of the shadows in the shadows - the forever haunting eating disorder, the cover tattoos for the self harm scars, the never-let-out shouts and screams all framed with his unquestionable gayness, the times when he just wants to die, to stop, to switch off - but he can't.

just a confused fella

Finally I can draw faces from a side (at leeeeast I'm getting better at it)... And finally I made another male character... Enjoy

[asimpleartist]

Another one, letsgo

I can't draw mouths properly

[asimpleartist]

I call this one The Easy-Eighty. Yep, inspired by the eighties.

I know its probably weird how I post so often now just not to post later after a while... But hey, I'm after my third twelve-hour nightshift and happy that I can finally get back into some of my hobbies.

I like the combination of the colored pencil and black marker outline. However, sketching can be a little sketchy cuz the red isn't so easy to get rid of. Just sayin.

A singer-inspired post.

I think it's quite lovely how I use just the four colors all over again.

I know there's not much shading and that the coloring is far from perfect, the lighting is bad... bad yolo, I just want to post it.

I call him the Little Dorian.

Bad photo quality, I know.

I was inspired by a real-life Dorian, however very vaguely... It seems like pretty much all of my drawings end up in a different way than what I expected them to be.

Meet the cabin boy.

It’s quite… a simple pic but hey, I’m a simple artist so there’s that.

It was a bit funky to draw this since I have very limited supplies of colored pencils and didn’t have a pencil sharpener.

This is Layla.

Recently discovered the song by Derek & The Dominos and just... It's a vibe. Love those old rock-ish songs...

When one says "Layla" a beautiful black woman comes to my mind. The pic is obviously just inspired by that

[asimpleartist]

I’m angry as fuck Head is spinning make it suck Trying to run out of bad luck Thinking blank Its stuck Ready for some body rock Laying on the bed I used to sleep in as a child Oh it makes me sad to see the picture with fake smile Can’t believe that change that happened in a while People got the money and it changed them their lifestyle I don’t recognise those stupid walls anyme Flowers are polluted dad on duty changed the door Bumped into my brother finally stopped and he said heyo Scared him with my footsteps But the scars left him in no awe Talking bout weed he said no I said if you say so Don’t know if I succeed but Maybe I can lay low Wave goodbye now one more time and the house is all just yours You’re alone place you called home starts never-ending wars Stepping on the scale You can always hate How you gain it back Every time you see it Bullied you’re 11 again can’t believe it Searching for love Telling yourself you don’t need it Repeat it Wish you could switch it At least for a minute Fuck it

A soldier cuz military stuff is so hot

[asimpleartist]

I was considering whether to post this one or not - s o clearly the YOLO mindset won. I drew it as an illustration for some note in my journal and remember struggling with it a lot - especially with the face, the chin. I wanted her to be in a certain pose or angle but found out horrified that I didn't really have the skills to draw her so.

So I rubbered and rubbered the pic again and again till it settled into this. I like the final careless expression in the eyes and the fact that the nose is not THAT bad.

And yes, I was inspired by image of AURORA the singer while drawing this.

So I realised I have't posted anything in a while... And had this idea in mind, an idea of a poem? A slam? Maybe just a long hateful waffle. So here is Freak.
