    I've started drawing again, this Australian artist called Em Carey has started doing drawing classes on Instagram every week and I drew this from her class. Ignore my wonky circle! 

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    @Aife I love the detailed patterns, it must have taken a long time to draw :open_mouth:
  • AoifeAoife Inactive Posts: 3,222 Boards Guru
    @Eyepatch thank you! Yep it took a few hours to draw but it's really relaxing drawing all the swirles and the lines! It's called Mandala drawing, I'd defo recommend watching a tutorial to learn how to do it, it's also really relaxing watching someone else draw :)

    @Aife  I might give it ago :) I like drawing cartoons but haven’t tried pattern stuff. I agree, I like the videos where people have recorded the screen then sped It up

    @Eyepatch have you done any drawing recently? Would love to see it!


     I've been on Instagram just browsing on people's drawing and like time frames of how they used to draw and how they draw now. It makes me so want to start to draw.
     But all i have is some Shitty poundshop pencils and paper. Don't suppose anyone knows good cheap places to get some decent stuff to try to start?

    @Shaunie  I drew my profile picture recently, but I might change it 

    the works is a good shop for art things, it’s not the best quality but still pretty good. Same with the range, they have paints and lots of supplies for decent prices. 

    I like finding a picture I drew ages ago and drawing it again, you could try it too :) 
  • SienaSiena Inactive Posts: 15,759 Skive's The Limit
    Wow thats really good @Eyepatch how did you do it? Do you use an app
    ~Probably dead now
  • Former MemberFormer Member Smol Bean Posts: 666 Incredible Poster
    @Shaunie Yeah, it’s an app called procreate it’s on ios stuff, I use it for making comic pages :) 
  • SienaSiena Inactive Posts: 15,759 Skive's The Limit
    Oh that's cool!

     I've order paper and pencils and paint from The Works

    Need to commission you for my next avatar, @eyepatch. ;) You're very talented.

    Definitely share what you make @Shaunie. This is one of my favourite threads to check in my downtime.

    @Shaunie That’s lovely! I like that the trees in the background are more out of focus, it makes it have more depth :) 

    @Aidan I cannot draw cars or planes at all, yours are good, did you use an Ink pen? 
  • SienaSiena Inactive Posts: 15,759 Skive's The Limit
    Ah cool picture Aidan!
