I have a tendency to doodle a lot but when I draw when I'm having an episode I draw flowers. Recently I've been drawing flowers inspired by LGBTQA+ flags (pic above is based on the genderfluid flag) When I draw, I can just focus on making that one thing perfect for a while. I paint a lot too. Still, mostly flowers. I'll experiment with different things like if I add water to a color pencil, can I draw on skin or if I can get a background with a gradient to work for once. It's sorta just feeling like I have something I can take and make perfect to my standards not other's. Most of the time I use it as a way to get my family off my back about me hiding away from them (which I do because it's hard to hide healing cut sometime.) and they enjoy the things things I make, even if they don't know what they are half the time. Thanks for reading and stay strong.
