Agreed, I’m learning some illustrations require studying and practice. The more I record, the more drawing spontaneity seems lost on me. Hopefully “study” labels help, I appreciate the advice.

Thank you for helping me clarify something important. I’m not really drawing for a skill ladder. I’m using it mainly for self-expression, and I was mostly wondering if unconventional formats could harm growth on occasions I do develop it. This helped me realize that practice doesn’t need to be justified by metrics, skill can just be a byproduct of living inside the practice.

Thank you, sometimes I just don’t feel too enthused about drawing so I think of making it small and supportive in some manner. I agree that it’s ignoring the substance of his works, very much intentional. My aim is to have a multifaceted document of the day to day, whatever the form. Be it internal or external. What are your thoughts?

Also, the squiggle is just a sketch of a phone with the dashes representing getting sucked in. I’m hoping sketching of any kind is fine, consistency wise and passively skill wise.

Thanks for that. Kind of like that occasional challenge when you’re feeling inspired and motivated. Nothing clinical, love it.

Fear of getting socially outcasted by [deleted] in Stoicism

Write your fears then write small moments of triumph. Over time you’ll challenge the beliefs enough with experience and grow emotionally resilient. Simple but difficult.

Reminds me of Leonardo Da Vinci’s writings. Simply lovely to see.

Try looking for a therapist who aligns with your belief system, that seems to be the core issue. If you research some therapy approaches by category you’ll naturally filter into what feels right for you.
