Last Year
Last April
here is this recent drawing i did of myself:
i RARELY appear in my own artwork so it always kinda confuses me when i'm trying to draw an emotion and suddenly, TAADAA!, there is a laurel. i realze i'm seeing myself as less pretty now. yaay shots to the self esteem! lol. i read this comic book called Pages by Paige. its about an artist who had to move to new york with her parents and she keeps a sketchbook of her emotions. its FANTASTIC! well goodnight!
best WISHES!
Laurel, part of that is the timing of when you drew them.
ReplyDeleteThe first one was before I knew you so I couldn't say. The second is reflecting on a break-up, sadness was the emotion you intended. The third was early in a relationship, while you were happy. And that fourth was during or soon after a very rough relationship. If you take anything from this, its that you take too much of your self-worth from your relationships. you're being too dependent on how others make you feel about yourself.
In exchange though, you are more able to accept the influence of others, you trust people, and you can express your feelings freely. Whether you realize it or not, those are abilities that many people would give their left leg for. I know I would.
And don't feel so bad about thinking about yourself. There's nothing wrong with it, how else would you grow into a functional adult without knowing what to work on and where you need to improve.
