I had this idea for a drawing for about a week now but was too scared to try it bc I thought my skills weren't good enough for it.

Turns out it takes a good kick in the butt and a rush of fear and anxiety to realize that if you don't occupy you brain with something, it will melt because of stress (coming from a person who was literally sketching a trash can that was in front of me during a class today because I thought I would explode and that took my mind of off things)

Tbh I made the first sketch of this on Tuesday and the on Wednesday I tried to start actually working on it but chickened out, so it happened today and instead and something, what started out as this:

(sketched on the backside of some history test)

...after multiple hours of blasting tøp in the background and trying to calm down while aggressively sharpening my pencils which kept breaking the very second I touched the paper, turned into this:

I called the chapter "Soul" bc for some reason I feel like this word would work as a title for this artwork. I'm not sure why, it just randomly popped into my head as I was drawing it and yeah...

Definitely gonna become one of my favorite pages on this sketchbook (what is pretty rare tbh)

Also, excuse the poor lighting, I'm not at home and the lamps here aren't the best and I tried using flash whole taking the picture but the pencil was shining bc of it and it ruined the whole thing, so....

That's it, ig

Some more art might come up during the next few days/weeks as this whole situation (+ some personal issues on top of it) is really stressing me out and drawing seems to help
