I color with markers for therapy. I even framed ten of them and have them hanging in a coffee shop. No one has bought than but I stopped drawing after I tried to sell them. For me, it's better to do it for therapy than selling it bc now I lost my therapy. I am also depressed...three weeks after an intense long mania with enduring hospitalization.

Your work is spectacular. You are really talented. Please keep posting!

Art is a wonderful therapy. I sit for hours, drawing. I can get lost in what I'm doing, and the problems that I'm dealing with go away for a while. If I'm really lucky, that magic takes over and it turns out well. My only problem is I'm a perfectionist, there too, but I feel like I learn from it. I do hope to one day be a professional, but for now, it's my escape and my healing.
Thanks for this!

Absolutely beautiful!

I love coloring. I used to get those really big posters of celtic knots that come with markers and color them. Or those velvet pictures. It can be very relaxing.
