Hey, omg so strange I was thinking about you today, was going to leave a post!
Loving your unique style.
Thanks @Zoe - kind of a scratch right now. Needs more work.
I havenāt posted much lately.
You really conveyed an emotion there with minimal linesā¦ 
Very cool and accomplished work. >like it lots. Captures a moment for sure!
Thanks - i really want to finish both of these. @rogueone Appreciate your critique.
This is so hard. To make art. I am so unmotivated. I see others who are able to finish their art to be amazing. Or other projects. @nimeton I love your work. And how accomplished you are to beat SZ and create.
Art block is horrible. I wish you could beat yours, the thing I have found effective with art block is just to sketch and sketch, even when it feels hopeless and youāre unhappy every sketch you makeā¦ sometimes I have found my own art block sketches from a long time ago, and there are some really good ones in there.
I was very productive when I was psychotic, after recovering I had to re-learn my creative process from the start. I have very little art from 2007-2010 as I was struggling with finding my creative process again. Everything was different, when I was psychotic I just got these images in my head and when the psychosis went away, I had nothing.
Thank you so much for your words. I hope you get to create again soon. I have found inspiration with experimenting new art techniques. Right now Iām planning a big canvas acrylic painting.
Why are our art so violent and angry or sad? @nimeton
Thanks for your inspiration words. It reminds me of how I was able to work while having psychosis. How I was still able to create. Thanks for sharing with me about how you had to relearn the process. Thatās how I feel. I will try to keep going.
I love your art @Kxev. Good amount of detail. Do you ever do coloured drawings?
I am kind of new to drawing and art. Because I was a graphic designer for so long.
But I drew growing up - so now I have so much time and thinking what do I do if I am not a designer, I am trying to be an artist.
I do plan to add color. I have some work i did in color and posted them before - but i am embarassed by them now.
Oh dont be embarrassed. Art is subjective. Thereāll always someone who thinks it is the bees knees.
Thanks. I really appreciate your comments about the ones I posted. It helps me want to finish it. I think you are right. I guess its so different from my work before where I had to please the mass with graphic design. Itās so different to be a fine artist (which I am not) but you are right, I need to remember its subjective. And not everyone will appreciate it. I am also really trying to soul search what my art is.
Recovering from art block and trying to learn how to be creative again is a tedious and difficult process, and it will feel hopeless at timesā¦ but it is also healing. It takes time. But to me this sketch of yours looks really good. Art block makes one blind to their talent and even the good sketches look disappointingā¦ I believe that people who have gone through difficult things such as schizophrenia and psychosis, have some sort of empathy in them and this empathy transfers into their art. Drawing is a skill you can learn, and practise and get better and better, but the soul and empathy in art is something that canāt be learned like that. I try to be as honest as I can with my art.
@nimeton
I really love your thoughts on this. As I am really new to this. Making art from the soul.
Instead of art for commercial purposes.
That said I really see and feel your work. They really speaks loudly sometimes pain and sadness but beautifully about about the subject. Lots of feeling come out.
Yeah soul searching for your art will help you find your unique style and groove. Keep posting your art on here. I for one like it.
Thank you for your words.
Experiment with art, try new techniques, sketch a lot and remember that every sketch is a step forward. I went through 4,5 years of art therapy and there I learned to truely express my feelings through art and noticed how simple things in art have many meaningsā¦ colors, forms, symbols, everything. I feel this experience with art therapy gave me tools to work with my personal art as well.
āāā(āĖā”Ėā)āāā thanks for your wisdom
Looking forward to your next piece and post about being in the Finnish art group.
