I’ve Only Been Posting Art For A Little While, Here And On My Instagram, And Honestly, It’s Been
I’ve only been posting art for a little while, here and on my Instagram, and honestly, it’s been really nerve wracking for me. I kept wondering why I even decided to do this, but something happened that made it all worth it for me.
I was out and about with my family and ran into one of my old church leaders from when I was a kid and she shared a story with me about how my art had helped a girl. This leader has worked with foster kids for years, and is working on getting her masters in something related to helping teens and kids. As part of that she is working as a therapist for some kids, and in one session she was sitting with this girl. This girl was completely stonewalling her, wouldn’t say anything, wouldn’t even look her in the eye. My leader knew that she liked anime, and remembered all the anime art that I post, so she shared my art with this girl, and that helped her to open up. after that she wouldn’t stop talking.
I personally know how helpful therapy can be, and the thought that my art helped that girl to open up and be able to get the help she needed, well it makes it all worth it for me. I started making art because it makes me happy, not because of a class or for someone else, but because I love it and it makes me happy. I think I lost sight of that. so, I’ll keep making art, because I love it, and I’ll keep posting art, because maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there who I can help with my art.

I like my art skills, I like the bright colors that I use, I like that I can draw a relatively convincing human shape from memory, I like that I find drawing relaxing, and I like that I can find inspiration in anything.
I am an awkward bean, if you would like to do this please feel free. I only have 18 followers so I guess I challenge you all to do this.

Miscellaneous Fandom Doodles
Rambling below the cut.
First one is from a game I found on the switch called 'the last campfire' and I absolutely adore that game. If you want a cute, short, and emotional puzzle game go check it out. I will say that the game brushes on themes of depression, suicide, giving up, so proceed with caution. It does end on a happy note though.
The balloon girl image is actually an embroidered pouch I made for my sisters birthday. The rest are just doodles of what was on my mind.
Rough cool down sketch at the end of a long day. Black rock shooter from memory, might look up a reference and clean her up at some point.
