@Wildfire: I don’t think I can doodle. I NEED to make sense. I can’t draw without a plan in mind. That’s maybe why I like to color, I can finally stop stressing. XD

@Another Movie Addict: hey there!! Insert yourself anywhere. ^^


@MoodyBats: what type of depression you have is really hard to diagnose. Basically they looked at my family history of depression and my teen onset and thought it could be chemical depression, ie my brain’s fault. So they thought I should try antidepressants, and they help a lot. I think chemical depression is often undiagnosed because it kinda creeps up on you naturally and you think that’s just who you are as a person. I’m lucky to have been diagnosed, living without meds was so much harder.

Plus I take Lexapro which has a little anti anxiety in it too which really helps me day to day.

@Wildfire: I’m too critical of my own art, doodling isn’t relaxing for me. I get too caught up in making it perfect. >.<

@Anarchist Beauty: I wouldn’t want to seem like I’m taking advantage of our friendship though! OnO

@MoodyBats: I’ve had anxiety my whole life as far as I can remember. But my depression is a chemical imbalance that was brought on during puberty and I’ll have all my life. Avatar sites have really been helping me with my social anxiety. I’ve been getting better over the years.

@Vermii: coloring is supposed to help you relax, not add to the stress. But I feel that way when it’s a really complicated coloring page. SAI is the best art program! <3


@Tsundererra: oh no! That sounds horrible! I’d have been so upset if that happened to me. Art supplies cost too much for kids to use them!!

@Anarchist Beauty: I’m nervous if i talk about my art sometimes that people will think I’m trying to convince them to buy my art. >.<

Here’s some OC art I’ve been working on. I got lines done


I don’t know who she’s going to be yet. I just had a design in mind.

@Kira: in recent years coloring has become one of the top suggestions for destressing and helping with anxiety. Psychologists are all for it. I’m glad you found it relaxing!


@Tsundererra: wow, sounds like you have a whole art studio going! In high school I had a copic marker set, but I just don’t have the money for good quality art supplies anymore. >.<

@MoodyBats: I don’t use social media very much. I only just started using Instagram for the first time. I love scrapbooking! It’s a very fun craft. Although most of mine is travel journals filled with pretty things I find like magazine clippings, and less actual memory stuff. XD

I used to be social when I was young, but my depression started when I was a teen and really made my social anxiety worse. Now I’m pretty unsocial, though my antidepressants have helped a lot!

Here’s the OC I’m working on, I got lines done

@Priestess of Pie: I love drawing mandalas! In fact, I draw them so often I ended up making a mandala coloring book. XD
I'm going to be trying to make snowflake mandalas next, though it's a different technique so I'm not sure how it will go.

@Anarchist Beauty: Don't let me bully you into buying art. >.<
I think there are just not a lot of people who buy art on here. Voltra needs a huge influx of awesome people! With money to spend and a love of art. XD

I can barely manage to put things away in drawers, much less in any kind of organized way. You might have had some trouble getting organized, but bravo on actually doing it! I love when things are organized, I'm just too lazy to do it.

I think I would have done nail polish by color so it made a rainbow in the drawer. >.>
