Artwork
 

I have fixed my picture now, but some of them are in the wrong order or perhaps not up at all - there are a few posts which I don't know what they originally showed. I just wanted to comment here, because some other users have made comments about connecting with certain drawings of mine, and I wanted to say that there is a possibility that any image prior to post number 208 no longer shows the image the comment originally referred to.

This is a series I made when I was feeling rather optimistic.

Wow, they're really good :)

Aww they are really lovely, and made me smile-- very positive!!

these are really cool....i like:)

These are really good

Thanks you guys! You're so sweet. :D I have some other stuff if folks would be interested in seeing some more…? Thanks y'all, your comments mean a lot to me.

Would love to see more

They are great, would love to see more.

this is really good, and agrees with above would love to see more.

Thank you all so very much. It's wonderful to hear that you like these. I don't feel comfortable showing these sort of SI-related pieces to anyone in Real Life so it's nice to get feedback here. :) I have a question though:

I have a pencil drawing of an arm with scars. Is that against the rules? I know cuts are, but I wasn't sure about old injuries. Probably not okay, I guess. But I wanted to check. It's so nice to finally be able to show people this stuff.

I also have a sort of abstract-ish thing that is obviously representative of the idea of having a scarred arm, but it isn't realistic so…??

Any ways, thanks. Here's another one. I attempted watercolor. An Alice in Wonderland thing.
I do not like paints.

^THAT is fantastic..I just love it.I'm not sure why but i realy realy like it.
You are very good :)

Thanks Sticky Eyelashes, I'm glad you liked it. This one's about me and my mom shopping. She knows about my SI and yet she STILL wants me to get these too-revealing pieces of clothing!

These are really good

I love how surreal they are, very nice :) I love how the small version of Alice in the one painting contrasts so strongly with the bigger one.

I really like them! They are amazing!

Thank y'all so much. It's real nice to hear that you guys like this stuff. :)

I still have some questions though:

I have a pencil drawing of an arm with scars [not cuts]. Is that against the rules?

I also have a sort of abstract-ish thing that is obviously representative of the idea of having a scarred arm, but it isn't realistic so…??

Thanks to anyone who can clear things up for me!!

You have amazing talent, please post more :D
And I'm sorry but I'm not sure about your questions, but I have seen some relatively triggering things on here as far as drawings go, I think as long as you label things correctly so people can view with discretion and caution then you should be okay.

Thanks LaLa for the advice. I'll just put the pictures in one of those Hide-y Boxes when I post them. For now, here's one of me seeing my counselor and another sketch.

^Love those

Love the 2nd pic in post 13
and the 1st one in post 19 is amazing and i relate alot - i'm sure many of us do.

More please? x

These are all very good.
The Alice in Wonderland themed one is my favorite.
You are very talented =]

Sticky Eyelashes - Thanks, it was really neat to hear that you could relate to that one. It's nice to hear that what I feel is something others have experienced too.

I'm still not certain on the rules, so I've hid the pictures. They are coloured pencil and not realistic, but WARNING they are meant to represent self-inflicted injuries. I drew this series a few days after a session when I couldn't get myself to stop thinking about what it had felt like. If this is inappropriate for RYL, I'll take them down asap but I'm thinking they should be alright because they aren't realistic.

The words are all quotes from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

I had a hard time deciding which sketch of Alice to go with for my water colour project, and this was the one I didn't paint. But I couldn't leave it be. :)

Wow I'm in awe. I can't draw at all.

I just absoloutely love your alice drawings.
You're 's/h' ones are pretty interesting too, i'm still trying to get my head around them :) It's good that your drawings make you think aswell as just look. You are a fab artist

Already said this once, but honestly these are all absolutely amazing. I love them! Please post them as they come, I'm inspired :) xx

Thanks everyone! It's so nice to hear this feedback. :D

Sticky Eyelashes - It's cool to hear that my art makes you think. If it helps you see what's going on in the picture of the red arm, try to see the blue as two thighs in jeans kneeling. I admit my art is definitely made for an audience of me, so I'm not sure how much of it translates…

Recently my stuff has included me drawing blood - not horribly realistically, but I don't want to break any rules or trigger anyone, so I don't have anything brand new to post.

This is an older piece of mine. I put it in another post here because it's made of words and about my counselor calling to check up on me one night. The sentences are from some diary entries I made about the event. I'm not sure my handwriting is legible enough or my words are grouped in a way that makes sense to others though. I'll be interested to hear what y'all think.

These are really impressive, I love your style

Wow, that last piece is really well done :)

Breathing Techniques

I really, really love these :) Keep posting!

I really love the Alice in Wonderland ones.

absolutely love your work. it looks like you feel for it what i feel for dance.

Great drawings!

I really liked some of these. You have a nice style and a good talent. If you dont take art classes i think you should be cause you have a lot of promise!

These are magnificent! i am in awe!

Thanks for all of you guy's encouragement! It's been a while since I updated because most all of my stuff for a while was inappropriate for RYL.

Another great drawing, really full of emotion. Hope you're ok x

wow :)

I absolutly adore your work. Its really very beautiful. I love how free and honest your pieces are.
I really hope you keep this up, and more importantly keep posting them for us to see!

Self Portrait
(the arm is altered from how it was originally drawn so it'd be safe for RYL)

Your work is amazing. I wish i could draw like you! I especially like the one made of words, that was fantastic and must of taken a lot of time and thought. The above image is very sad though, but shows a lot of emotion. They are all really good!!

They're all amazing, Your good :) Love the second one on Post 19, I colored it in on PS and it's now my wallpaper, if thats okay? Thanks for sharing they're good :)

Thanks. That's fine that you played with my drawing. I'm actually kinda flattered. I'm never sure when my feelings will translate or not. I'm glad you liked it so much. :]

Reading books about SI or similar things can be help me by showing me I'm not alone and by giving me words for things I haven't been able to describe yet. It can also bring up just masses of emotions that I don't understand and that are upsetting. I drew this when I was feeling too much. The words are about books I've read on SI.

I really love your work, the pictures speak to you, you translate what is difficult to say in words into your drawings really well

These are real cool and very creative

Thinking of my counselor.
