adri's sketchbook

[potaydri]

Hello! I'm adri.

I've been lurking this forum for years but I'm finally here to share and learn. I've been absent from art for a really, really long due to depression, anxiety, and severe OCD but I'm well enough to get back into it now. I've been wanting to start my own sketchbook thread since forever-ago but blahblah the second best time is now and whatnot.

Feel free to drop by and say hi! Constructive criticism welcome, of course.

Some of my recent works in gouache. I haven't painted in years so I am very rusty.

Hi first off i don't want to start with an art critic. I just perhaps want to offer you a reframing of your own head space an opportunity to understand and appreciate the good and the bad aspect of being we own worst critic. I think it important to operate a shift in the way we think if we want to make sure we can lay a fertile ground for happiness and success.

There time to contemplate and some to celebrate the little thing of life. I think starting anything is one of those.

@darktiste - thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I am trying to be more positive in general. I suppose that's also going to be a process!

Started the Draw a Box course today. I also did a quick portrait sketch with no references to see where I'm at. I don't know where the shadows go... (yet).
