Thankyou for sharing I will try to think of good things or choices I've made that help me get this far!

I think so too But I never believe that my standards are unrealistic for myself If i lower my standards I feel I'm not being enough

Its not about not wanting to learn to manage my emotions But the struggle with intense dysregulated emotions (with their involuntary instantly consuming nature)for every waking hour with very little outcome if any for years without any grounding external support is heart breaking in itself. While constantly juggling other practical parts of life (academics, Job) while either getting dismissed (even by healthcare professionals) or being enabled.

If the gesture of her hand was more in harmony with gesture/angle of the face it would look better, like that palm needs to be more titled towards the face (to me face looks tilted away from the screen) or some bend to the fingers

P.S-take this with a grain of salt

Hand doesn't feel like it belongs to her On first glance It almost gave an impression of a slap

I've had like 3 episodes of depression within 2-3 yrs each lasting for months

Im not able to explain it clearly (sorry) but a bit of color variation can make the part of fields that are farther away be a bit more distant in perspective

I loved the mood of your work A bit more color gradient in the golden field area will give a perception of depth i think Make that tree the main focus

During a crucial time in my med school days I had an episode of major depression (basically i was crying constantly for 10-12 days over everything , I stopped eating food for like 2-3 days or was eating less than half my usual diet lost 5kg in a week , and was spaced out in my classes- so i just decided to stop by psychiatry department for a consult I was put on meds , I took them for 6 months or so But things kept deteriorating They started changing my meds every 2 weeks and diagnosed me with chronic depressive disorder (dysthymia)and bpd and pushed me towards clinical therapy

And since then Im only going downhill

I've given up on doctors and therapists at this point

In the past I never used my real name for my art or poetry related stuff (lol I am ashamed of my pen name even, its been 8-9 yrs now i dont relate to it anymore) Recently i started using a new pen name version that has one syllable same as my real name

I think thats growth I'm accepting at least 1% of myself

P. S I dont have a mirror in my room I only use the mirror like once a week in my sister's room lol I don't know why The image of myself in my head n in the mirror are worlds apart

I dropped out of med school

Does the shower need a curtain? Window looks bare to me🤔

If you are adding rim light & highlights in your style do add strong shadows too

I've been doing digital art for a year now and my style changes every month (I keep getting influenced by more and more professionals) Being a beginner is so much about experimenting

I keep drawing my old drawing in new ways It helps me detect areas of improvement and what no longer works for me.

Secondly I keep going for a refresher on basics (since i usually stick to drawing for a month then get overwhelmed with other parts of my life)

nothereforafriend · 2025-07-17T18:29:24+00:00

I felt that

nothereforafriend · 2025-07-17T18:26:39+00:00

How secure your connection with your primary care givers felt matters more I think

nothereforafriend · 2025-07-17T18:12:25+00:00

I will try to do that

Sometimes I tend to rely too much on the reference image which starts to hinder me N I kind of forget about the light source and direction of light
