Description
Just to let you know I'm out of psychiatric hospital again.This time for good I hope
I know I haven't really gone into my experiences or detail with this currently episode of mental trouble. It's all a bit raw and weird at the moment, I'm just putting the pieces of what's happened together myself. I've been open about my about my experience with depression and anxiety, which are horrible monsters, but I haven't needed hospitalization because of them. Unfortunately this episode has seen a new monster rear it's ugly head: Psychosis.
Psychosis is where your lose touch or contact with reality. You interpret things differently to 'normal', like seeing, hearing or believe things that aren't actually real or there. My creative brain got a little -too- creative, and I couldn't tell what was real and what was not anymore, I experienced hallucinations and delusions. It's been rather frightening and upsetting. I will tell you exactly what that monster looked like properly later. It's all a bit raw right now.
Thank you for your messages during this difficult time. I read them all. It's probably best I didn't reply, as I was pretty incoherent at points. I hope to be back drawing and interacting normally soon
I really really really really want to be better for good, and I'm working hard on it, putting on lots of metaphorical plasters
I wasn't so happy with the face of: So I improved it a bit, and cropped it so the message is clearer. Not sure which one I like more though... What do you think?
Peace, Love and Reality,
Blue

I like this one better than the other one. The colors are more vibrant and the look in her eyes is easier to capture. The message of the picture is also clearer. Yeah.

If you watch MLP or not, I think that you would like the character Screwloose. ( The fan song for her is really good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1pjmN… )

You know what I love with that drawing ? Her eyes. They say, "eyes are the window of the soul"... What I can see in these is hope for what's next, and a lot of life. I can tell you you're on the right way right from these
Best of luck for everything, you're not alone

Just from looking at your art I can tell you are a uniquely beautiful soul. You and your art have been an inspiration to me. You shine so brightly even when you are weighed down by so much, I cannot imagine how brilliant you will be when you are free.

I hope you'll get better soon. It's good that you are able to write about those things. Most people... including myself choose to rather pretend that everything is ok with them. And trying to ignore the problem doesn't work in a long run and it only make things worse. I'm happy for you that you were brave enough to seek help. Don't give up and keep creating your beautiful art!

I like this face more than the last one.
I wish you all the best in getting better! I hope those monsters won't take a hold of you permanently.

Nice job!!! Rather than the artwork itself, I prefer this because of the title. Fix Me implies there is something wrong with you while I love the title Self Help. The plaster on her forehead suggests that it's within your mind, which you can control to help yourself

Hard to pick a favourite... this version definitely seems to have warmer colours.
But that made me notice something else entirely. The brighter and warmer colours make it so this version would be more in contrast with the cool blue of the background. But your background is lighter at the top side too and darker at the bottom where her less bright and warmly coloured shirt is. Wouldn't it be better to have the background be darker at the top and lighter near the bottom so you have more contrast and she pops out more? Only know a modest amount about composition and am not an expert in the slightest but one of the things I remembered is that colour contrast (light on dark and dark on light) is a great way to draw attention to your focal point.
...though of course you probably don't need to do that since in a portrait the focal point tends to be quite clear...
I don't know. I'm curious what you think. :3 Let me learn from you oh great Blue? I can reward you in cookies!
At first was going to say an artwork based on your lineart but that probably might take a while and wouldn't come out very well so don't want to dig my own grave or get your hopes up... ^^"

Someone traced your work, it's quite obvious in the picture. The fact that i knew exactly who drew it (yourself) astonishes me, much less that i knew the exact PICTURE they traced xD theawesomeness111.deviantart.c…

i really hope you'll do better and stay away from the hospital for good indeed uvu but i hope you'll stay in touch with reality enough. it sounds like a horrific adventure, psychosis, yet i think i wouldn't mind to witness it once. it might sound selfish but i wonder how the world would look like then o 3o still, i hope you'll defeat those demons of yours sooner or later.
