With the start of the rainy seasons here plus the recent events that happened here, it gave me time to start cleaning my shelves again... I wanted to remove some of the items I kept as reminders from when I was down...
I found my old art journal. It was originally a book I soaked in brown ink for reasons being that I hated that book so much. I'm definitely not a fan of cringey teen fictions written in my native dialect and that, for me, was a good enough reason to destroy it. I remade the cover and made it my own book.
I remember page by page, the sketches grew darker and darker
And I remember how obsessed I was with skulls.. and blood.. and pain..
I carried this book everywhere, sketched whenever I wanted to
Nobody really understood any of them. Why I drew such figures.
The only person who ever saw the rest only said "they might be colorful, but they certainly aren't happy" and I think that's when she finally knew how bad it got for me
This one is an extra though.
Then this was among the first few oil paintings I've ever done.
I also wanted to use this article to get answers to this
