Experimental personal sketchbook spread

This is a double-page spread from my personal A5 sketchbook showing my experimentation with a more illustrative style of drawing. The pencil drawing in the top left corner is an example of how I used paint markers and black fine line pens to assist in the impact the finished drawing had. I used the paint marker and pen to create spiky shapes to represent strong emotions such as excitement and nervousness, round shapes were used to symbolise softer more compassionate emotions. The colour red was used as it represents strong, powerful feelings of both desire and passion. Small stars and sparkles were drawn in pen to invoke the feeling of excitement that the viewer can share in. This connection with others and the exploration of intimacy allows me to connect to the art I am making and this pushes me to create and improve more and more. The drawing on the bottom page is an example of my experimentation with drawing over and layering different materials to add contrast, as well as attempts in mark-making to create a more illustrative, engaging and stylised piece.

New Intro Spread

This design creates more balance in the design and leads the viewers  eyes to the important text. Previously the jagged pawprint took all the focus and kept it away from the text. This design has more breathing room and feels more original because of the added texture to the lines.

So someone under one of my posts commented that everyone who reblogs this should just " get some help instead of complaining about it "

I totally do understand where this is coming from since yes most of my followers are people who are dealing with some things of their own whether it be with their own selves or their lives or whatever is going on , and maybe yes talking to someone would help , I know it helped me.

However , it is very easy for someone to say " get some help " or " stop complaining about it and do something "

When you feel worthless, hopeless , lost , and nothing seems to really matter , you really don't feel like going to people and telling them hey I feel like shit because it kind of feels like we are burdening people too , from my experience I know that I was only able to tell my friends how I've felt after I got over feeling that way ? I know they were there for me , which is very lucky for me ,I know some people don't have many or any one there for them ,

What I'm trying to say is , going through shit that your own mind puts you through isn't easy,and it doesn't just ' get easier ' , getting better is a slow process and everyone has their own way of getting better ,I'm sure for some getting help would work but I also do know that for others they just need time and to figure themselves out and that's completely okay too, many people vent their feelings and thoughts out here because they can't actually speak up about it in their day to day lives to someone ,so instead of saying they're complaining I think we should be proud that at least they're able to be honest with themselves on here and they're at least expressing how they feel , venting does help a lot :) it may not be the ideal problem solver but it is one step ahead of just being shut off and not expressing yourself in any way .

I would really appreciate if people thought about what they comment before actually commenting it , especially if you're someone who hasn't been through it , I also do know some people are just trying to be helpful and it's good that they get to be aware of some things

Anyways , I hope everyone is doing okay and life is treating you well lately !

Please Stay off Tik Tok

(*Trigger warning*  Suicide)

There’s a man who went on Live and committed suicide by shotgun; the live was taken down but the sociopaths on Tik Tok recorded everything. These deeply sick individuals are now using innocent videos to hide the clip behind to shock and traumatize people!

Please for your well-being, your friends well-being, your siblings well-being, etc; stay off of the For You Page this week while empathic and human decency having people mass report and ban these accounts from continuously harming people.

If you’re one of the unfortunate that have seen the clip I am deeply sorry; please talk to someone you trust, use healthy coping mechanisms to work through your thoughts and emotions, PLEASE speak to a therapist or psychiatrist if circumstances call for it.

These deeply disturbed wastes of air already harmed so many innocent people, we must put a stop to this NOW.

As the holidays come around, I can't ever stress this enough. You don't have to face anything alone. Even if it is just through social media, if you are able to see this message my door is always open. If you just need someone to hear you out, or if you need help, reach out. Even those of us who try to watch out for everybody can't spot everything. #bethere #love #truth #heart #inspiration #lifetruths #mentalhealth #youarenotalone #help #Repost #spreadthis #wisdom https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gi5VIl0G7/?igshid=15higfq0vrrxu

LISTEN UP

READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Please. I need this to spread. I need this kind of stuff to stop. Everyone needs it to stop. So i’m on iFunny minding my own business, and I see something and have the urge to comment. So I did. It was something along the lines of “Haha dude the last guy that messed with my best friend got a two hour long lecture from me and basically a five paragraph essay. He cheated on her with like four other girls. He had it coming...” And I know what you’re thinking: That will probably provoke someone. Well: I. Don’t. Care. Honestly, I don’t. What bothers me, ohhhh what bother me, you see, is the comments that followed. The first: “Doubt.” Now you can’t comment pics or anything so oh well but I have the screenshots on my phone. I have it alllll. I explained this to him. He finally left me alone. This isn’t the asshole of the story. No, no he’s coming into the story next. I get a notification a few days later. Someone replied. Cool! Let’s go read it! As soon as I read it: I’m instantly mad. “You dumb bitch this is obviously fake shit girls are weak and have an IQ of like 18 and guys are smarter after high school” Like wow. Dude are you really gonna say that to me? Because I can prove you wrong. My IQ is over 100. I’m going to college next year an i’m only a sophomore in high school right now. This is bullshit. So, naturally I reply back... pretty mad. “Man, that’s not a funny joke, dude. And you know what? That’s the kind of thinking that ruins relationships. FYI” In hindsight, a little rude. But y’know what? Well deserved. Well. Frickin. Deserved. I’m just trying to let the guy know that if it was an attempted joke, he failed horribly. He replies: “1) it wasn’t a joke. It’s 100% true. And 2) I have never been dumped. I broke up with the two girlfriends I had. Also: if you think I act like this in public you’re delusional. I have manners. Just not for people with bullshit stories on a comedy app.” Boi. This ain’t bullshit. This is real shit. If you don’t like it leave. Like come on. It’s not unreasonable that my best friend was cheated on. I mean, it shouldn’t be, she’s freaking amazing, but he guy’s a scumbag who frequently cheats. So it’s perfectly reasonable. Not to mention it’s tHE TRUTH!!! Anyways, I feel compelled to reply. Because I don’t just quit. I go out fighting. “Leave me the hell alone! I refuse to stoop to your level! I did basically nothing to you!!” To which he replies: “You’re just a bitch. You didn’t do shit. Men are better than women everywhere.” Well. Bite me. Lemme just tell ya how wrong that is. Let’s see you birth a child. Let’s see you bleed for a week and not die. Still think you’re better everywhere? Hm? You have no idea how strong women are. You have no. Freaking. Idea. Try a day in the life before you insult it. And I reply: “Wow. It just makes you think...why is it SO unreasonable that 1) yes I am a girl 2) yes I protected my friend 3) i’m a girl and i’m Not weak OR dumb. I’m pretty sure no one with an IQ of 18 or above would be saying someone’s dumb and spouting bullshit because she spoke up for a friend.” And I leave it at that. Because that was my last reply. As of ten minutes ago.

Personal Sketchbook Spread

This double-page spread from my personal A5 sketchbook is an illustrative collection of pencil drawings. The text 'It's as if all I can do is watch' refers to the feelings of time passing by too quickly and not having the opportunity to stop and take it in. The faces of those in the drawings have been left empty to show the people changing or disappearing from life as well as new people entering constantly as a cycle. This page was also a chance to experiment in a more illustrative, stylised way of my usual drawing in which I could invoke a feeling through the layout and choice of drawings I put on the page.

Repost from @soaringphoenix333 • Repost by @climbingpoetree CO2 levels are down 25% in China. China produces 30% of the world’s CO2 levels. That’s huge! 🐚 Evictions halted indefinitely in New York City. 🏡 🐚 Prisoners who are not considered a threat to society are released in Ohio. Bout time! #spreadthis 🤛🏽 🐚 Major cities in China report blue skies for the first time in years. 🌠 🐚 Folks finally starting to understand the importance of universal healthcare, albeit, some still think Biden is the best choice despite being backed by corporations, opposing universal healthcare and limiting free education. On top of it all, he’s showing signs of early onset dementia or Alzheimers, if you ask me. He literally said “we’re going to win Super Thursday”, and “I’m running for the US Senate!”. @berniesanders all the way! 😷 🐚 Utility companies are not shutting off services for people who can’t afford it. 🐚 We are seeing that people and institutions can implement drastic change overnight. We are so adaptable and intelligent. Now we KNOW we can treat our climate crisis like we are treating this pandemic! 🐝 🐚 Free museum walks, cooking classes, yoga classes, concert series, art classes, schooling, online. People are sharing of their gifts and resources for free. #alternativeeconomies 🐚 The US is considering sending every citizen $1k or more, tapping into federal funds to support people economically. What’s up Yang!💰 🐚 Dolphins are coming back into Venice’s canals. 🐬 🐚 Kindness, creativity, and human connection despite quarantine mandates. As humans we come together better than anything else. ☺️ 🐚 Coronavirus lockdown has likely saved 77,000 lives in China, including 4,000 children, just by reducing pollution, according to Stanford University Professor Marshall Burke. That’s more than 20x the number of lives that have been directly lost to the virus. 🤹🏽🤹🏼‍♂️🤹🏽‍♀️ 🐚 Senate Dems propose suspending student loan payments amid coronavirus outbreak 🐚 Can you say #socialism? Not so bad after all! 😂 🐚 We are intrinsic to earth 🐚 #prayersup and they’re getting listened to.

I need to ask you something and I want you to be totally honestwith me, it might be awkward with us after this but I have to know how you feel, I have kept this is in for a while and it’s about time I was straight up and just confront you about it, I hope this doesn’t ruin the relationship we already have, I just need to know and I can’t see any other way to get over this, it just doesn’t seem fair on me if I don’t get an answer, I want you to tell me truthfully, no matter what it is, I just want your honest opinion... do you know the muffin man?

Please help my Mum and little sister!!!

Hey everyone! I’m so sorry to ask this of you guys, I know a lot of you have problems of your own and asking you to help my family is really a last resort for me. I wouldn’t be posting this if I wasn’t desperate. 

My mother and little sister are suffering from Lymes disease. Every single waking moment they are in chronic agony and fatigue, and riddled with other illnesses that the Lymes has brought on due to their crushed immune systems. My mother works full time to support us and is the most humble, kind and selfless person I know. She would give up everything for her family and I want to be able to help her and my baby sister any way I can.

 My little sister, Sam, is in so much pain every day that she’s had to drop out of school and isnt able to have fun or go outside or see her friends like other kids her age. She’s only 17 and her life has already become on of endless pain and exhaustion, though she puts on a brave smile everyday and doesnt show it. Neither of them do, but the fact that they go through boxes of painkillers every day just to get through the day tells a lot. Sam has been struggling so much these past few years to battle her depression and anxiety, and this disease has been a massive blow to her. 

In Australia, Lymes disease isn’t recognized by doctors and the only treatment they can get that has proven results is held at Ozone Therapy on Cyprus and its going to cost tens of thousands of dollars to get them there. 

I am literally begging you, my followers and other users of tumblr, to please donate what you can to the fundraiser or if you are unable to do that I ask you to please share this post so that others can see it and help. More information on Lymes disease is on the fundraiser page as well and you can read about how it truly is a devastating disease. 

You can also donate to my paypal, mcins96@gmail.com, and I will pass the funds along to their account.
