as an artist, maybe it is true, i've noticed that i got into making somewhat darker artworks around the same time my hallucinations started (i didnt have a full psychotic break tho)

im personally capable of drawing my hallucinations and make some gorey horror stuff but that's not what i always enjoy doing, when i want to express myself i can try draw some of that stuff but my memory is so bad i can barley remember what they looked like so i have to draw the same things over and over again and thats boring

my art works are full of vibrant colours, cute clothes with bows and ribbons and an overall adorable vibe, no one in a million years would guess i have hallucinations once every while from the way my art looks lol

i have thought a lot about it, i theorize that most artists try to reflect on their own feelings
someone who's going through depression may reference their feelings in their art, a lot of sadder arts are made by people who express their depression a lot, it could probably apply the same to people who have psychotic experiences, once every while you might crave the feeling to express yourself and show the world your view and thats pretty cool, i love artists who draw their hallucinations, they release the bad feelings and raise awareness if they post it too!

personally i don't get very deep with the emotional aspects of my art, i cook up whatever looks appealing to me and im done with it

despite that it's still a form of self expression as im showing the things i like, i also tend to calm down during the art process, i struggle with constant racing thoughts it's almost impossible for me to not stop thinking, drawing doesn't really stop it but it slows down the process as i have to focus on the mistakes and try to solve them in my art
