when you remember you can actually just draw anything

Nothing you ve been through is too much to be seen or acknowledged. I made this piece after my own experience with SA, hoping it can comfort other survivors and remind them they're not alone.

This is Nathan He/him

ok I Need some one in the MD community to make my OC (M3) DOING STUFF (no NSFW, he's straight, and has a crush on V so thats a little thingy to know! and if free that would be great)

5 years ago I was still in school, sitting in an art class where I got a large amount of creative freedom. So in that aspect, I was lucky.

However!

We were supposed to do a drawing to reflect ourselves with animals and a landscape. The sketch version was my first concept that I felt expressed myself at the time. My art teacher DIDN'T LIKE IT and said to redo it.

So it ended more tame, mellow. That is the final version my teacher approved of. It felt like they were trying to tell my that I needed to mellow myself to fit the eyes of others.

I still did my best, enjoyed the artwork, but I will always remember that feeling. I know I'm not alone in this either, dealing with art teachers who do things like this.

I was reminded of this moment recently, so I'm sharing it. Can't believe it's been 5 years..

Swipe for the painting process :-) This was a public art commission from the City of Montréal in 2024. 22x90" banner, mostly done digitally (Procreate). Of course, HUGE inspiration from Alphonse Mucha/Art Nouveau movement.

It was great seeing this piece live on Plaza St-Hubert for 2024 summer ! Right in the heart of the bridal district ahah

Since a few Montrealers reached out after seeing it on the street, I’ve decided to release it as a print with a more universal message :-P

i really wanna know what is this art style called pls help me

Hi I'm curious are paint pens and acrylic markers different? I thought they were the same because they both have acrylic paint. Also here's some acrylic/ paint markers art I did

Thoughts ?

I used to share everything while I was making it.

Lately I’ve just been working without posting much at all.

Part of me feels like it’s better that way, part of me feels like I’m disappearing.

Trying to figure out which one actually helps in the long run

I really hope you like it!

So im not a big painter. I love to paint things it helps me relax, i just dont have the time to. I painted this last night. Ik the white blobbed a bit and its not finished, I plan to paint the white parts, but I was really proud of it and I thought it really looked like a galaxy, but I showed my dad and he wasnt impressed just an "cool". But when my sister makes stuff its "Wow! You did that?" . So is it just me? Am I blind to my own art, or does it actually look okay.​ please be honest. Ive never really painted a galaxy or anything like this so, I tried. I didnt watch any tutorials I just looked at a photo and kinda went with it.

Ps, sorry the photos are blurry.

acrylic on 8x10 canvas, you're free to tell me what you think it is and you're free to tell me what you think of it 😄
