I’ve been drawing for years now. I use it as a way to express the way I feel and just because lol. Here is my first drawings I did in 2016

After these I did another bird in 2017

Then things started to change as I wasn’t feeling as colorful anymore. These were drawn in 2018 during a toxic relationship that I went through, it had yet to get bad when I did these.

I took up drawing again in late 2019 trying to recover from everything I went through. As you can see my mind traveled a little.

I decided to brighten up my suddenly dark world with something simple yet colorful

These are all of this years from before corona to yesterday

During the beginning of my recovery, I suffered from depression and I am sad to say I have hit rock bottom before. I wasn’t in a good state of mind and had to work through it alone. The last sketch which I did yesterday, I call The Path of Depression. I have always seen he path of depression as a well like structure that has a winding staircase that leads downward, leading you deeper and deeper into the darkness. At the end of the staircase is a ledge, it’s the last thing before the plunge to the bottom. Some people are able to climb back up the stairs but some people fall off the ledge. If you fall it’s extremely hard to climb back up as it’s so dark and there’s no clear path back up. I have always seen it as this way, I don’t know why, but no matter what don’t give up hope because you can climb back up, THERE IS A WAY OUT! I still go down that staircase sometimes and I have stared down into the darkness from the ledge multiple times but I refuse to give in and to let myself fall. I won’t let what I’ve been through run my life.

I know my drawings are not perfect but they help me and I have been thinking about one day selling my art or doing personal art for people for a price. Do you have any recommendations for me? Like maybe how to get started on selling.
