Creativity / Community Art
So recently we had our community art chalenges,which were awesome! (even though I only did 2 of them) I loved seeing everyone's art and it inspired me to do a couple. In our last thread a few users were talking about having an art thread, I thought I'd take the initiative and make it tonight, as Ive been feeling rather arty tonight! haha.
Links to our community challenges #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7
Without further ado, show us what You've been working on we'd love to see it.
I'm going to start off and post tonight's work. I was feeling frustrated, and for once felt like expressing it creatively. I just did a simple tree to get me back into painting as I haven't painted for years! Here's the result 🙂
@DruidChild you hands down put me to shame with your drawing. That is AWESOME 
@loves netball You should post some of your drawing, I bet it's awesome and thank you so much!!
Thank you @lokifish
I don't draw @DruidChild, well I haven't for a long time because I suck and I don't know what to draw. I was painting a year ago, but I had nothing that motivated me so I stopped
@loves netball I'd bet money that you're a better drawer than I am... I can't even draw a proper straight line 😛 painting sounds awesome though - is that something you'd wanna find the motivation to get back into?
Fair enough @loves netball. I didn't do any drawing for ages, but I got back into drawing by finding artists that I really liked, it's cool to look at art even if you don't feel like making any 🙂
Hi RO peeps!
I painted this picture around October last year during a pretty severe depressive episoide. I have NO idea why I did it in black and white but I guess it mirrored my mood. During that time I pretty much did nothing but paint for 2-3 days to get away from my thoughts. It really helped, wish I had time to paint more often!
It's not just you @FootyFan26, I can't figure out how to post it 
I'll try again
@Sans-RO @lokifish @dustb0wldance 🙂
So I finally got around to making thissss, which is my version of a self care plan thingy. I decided to make it a while ago because lists stress me out when I'm feeling bad, so the last thing I'd want to do is look at a safety plan list!
Drop a marble at the top, let it roll down, and whichever box it falls in is the activity to do. I can swap out the activities if I think of new ones cause they're just on little slips of paper.
I can't take a good photo so you'll have to deal with the partial blurriness.
@Bay52VU That is so cool and such a creative idea! You should share a tutorial on it or something so that we can all make our own versions, because I know that'd be something really helpful for me! ^^
Thanks @Nessa17 I've just posted some instructions here 🙂
Thanks @N1ghtW1ng yep I drew the background, although I just copied the shuttle picture off a drawing I found online 😛 If I'd had a printer I probably would've designed the background on my computer and printed it out, but no such luck haha 😛
I don't "art" as much I used to, but I try to dabble in a bit of photography when I can find the time. No more sketches, though: Those took waaaayy too long to pull off, and as a perfectionist, I'd never be satisfied with the end result anyway. (Seriously, I once spent 30 hours on a single drawing to try and make it perfect before I got fed up. Drove me up the wall. Photography's much less frustrating.)
Anyway, here's some examples:
Thanks @Bay52VU! I think I started around...March 2013? So 3 and a bit years now. I've had plenty of help on the way from the university's photography club to push my personal boundaries and get better
Drew this today with my favourite lyric.
You are not alone, in the eye of the darkest storm
We are the lighthouse shining a lamp from the shore
@redhead I absolutely love your art. You're so talented 🙂
So over on TwittRO (I think) I said I'd make a daily planner with crayons for stickers and TA DA!!! I did it!
I used regular coloured pencils for the tasks, because crayon wouldn't of fit. 😛 Soon, it'll have stickers! I'm considering just adding different coloured stickers over it until I run out of stickers so I don't have to keep making more (for example, the first two weeks are blue stickers, then green and so on) I'm not sure whether I should start it on Monday to make the weeks easier or just start today but I'm so happy with it. It's a bit messy and uneven but it's also crayon and to me, crayon makes messes okay! 😄
Also, in case you're wondering, the blue arrow is Avatar Aang 😛
I really like that @redhead! I love lighthouses. Are you planning on doing some more art tonight? 🙂
