Hi Everybody - I hope this is an appropriate post. I am relatively new here, and am still learning my way around this site. Anyway, I am on disability for schizophrenia and severe anxiety. I spend my time drawing pictures, like this chipmunk, to relieve anxiety. I thought I would share it with all of you. Do any of you like doing artwork? I have social anxiety but want to try reaching out to you all. Thanks.

This is really cute! I also draw to reduce anxiety. I just copy cartoons though. I used to dream of being an artist but then I gave up. So, now I do it just for my happiness. ❀️

I only copy, too. My brain doesn't really allow me to draw "from scratch" lol

Hehe it's totally alright as long as it makes us happy and we're not claiming someone else's work as ours. 🀍

Sometimes all we need is to continue doing something we like.

@Botoga I love your drawing! Totally agree with you there, drawing makes me feel more calm and relaxed. Your chipmunk reminds me of Charles Darwin's drawing!

I'm artist as well and your drawing is amazing. You nailed the texture down! Art is a great healing tool and I stuck atm but keep the belief going that you are creating art for you. <3
