I started sketching!

Hey there - I gave sketching/drawing a try for the first time yesterday (using a reference for guidance) and thought it would be fun to share my results here. It turned out to be really therapeutic and I definitely want to draw more in the future. I'm still a beginner so there's plenty of room for improvement but I'm looking forward to learning and improving!

    @Nemuritai That’s really cool and it looks great.

    I’m glad you gave drawing a try and found it therapeutic. I draw sometimes too ,so it’s nice to hear you’re enjoying it. Every drawing is a step forward and it sounds like you’re already having fun with the process, which is the best part.

    Wow that is amazing especially for a first go at drawing too as well!. I miss drawing and sketching to be fair, as I used to do it a lot and I even went to art college as well lol. I mainly love anatomy and scientific drawing so medical illustration. But definitely keep up drawing because it can be a super therapeutic thing to do.

    Thank you @Amy22, that's very kind. That sounds really cool, I find anatomy interesting as well though it sounds like your knowledge is way more in-depth which is very impressive. I definitely agree on drawing being therapeutic - I find when I get into doing something like drawing I kind of get tunnel vision and forget about everything else lol, although I'm autistic so maybe that's why hehe. If you ever draw or sketch again in the future I'd be super interested to see :heart:

    Hi @Nemuritai, this is really good especially for your first time sketching, I'd have thought you'd been practicing for a while! Glad to hear you find it therapeutic - interested to see how much better you get and what creations you come up with!

    thats such a good sketch @Nemuritai - and its great that its got those therapeutic benefits for you as well. i'm sure over time you'll improve even more and more. but even now it's still much better than what i could do 😂

    i look forward to seeing any other drawings (if you choose to share them with us) in the future

    Aw no worries your very welcome. I love anatomy because I find it fascinating and I also loved biology when I was in secondary school as well. Haha I have got a bit of knowledge only because I did study a foundation art course in college and it was a lot 😂, I had to do life drawing there too.

    I used to be the same as well I think because I could just focus on drawing and forget about the things going on internally in my head and stuff. They do say for neurodivergent folk creating art is very therapeutic and it can be a form of stimming and self regulation.
