Sketch Journal #1 - Expression Practice - Sadness — Description
So it had been a while since I got back into drawing and posting on here. I took a long break from drawing because I fell out of it, I got distracted with life and games and lost sight of my passion. I felt like I really let myself down by not drawing as often as I should have been.

While this does just look like I was practicing emotions from images I found online through Pinterest (these are just sketches, just meant as practice. I do not claim the ideas as my own.) It was a release for me because I was dealing with a lot of in-law family drama and I felt like I wasn’t being heard. I was also dealing with a lot of panic attacks and my husband was having a hard time with his GERD issues, COVID wasn’t getting any better, clients at my place of work were being total jerks and I just felt like I was on the end of my ropes.

My mind did go in dark places, but instead of acting on them, I took the time to draw each face out, releasing the emotions attached with it. I am okay now—I originally drew this set a month ago.
