myself

I use to draw to create. Now, when I do, it's to speak to myself. To relieve some tension. To say something I can't say out loud. I'm not looking for anything here. I just hope that throwing these things out into the world will somehow take them off of my mind. Sorry, and thank you.

I really enjoyed the Inktober challenge and this was my favorite drawing from the month. Been trying white ink for a new challenge, on grey toned paper. I've also challenged myself to draw more animals, so that's been fun. I can't remember drawing an elephant before, but my joke was that this one is ready for Coachella!

“A Saian boasts about the shield which beside a bush though good armour I unwillingly left behind. I saved myself, so what do I care about the shield? To hell with it! I'll get one soon just as good.”- variant of a poem from Archilochus

Inspired by the Neo-Classical period, I pushed myself as an artist to portray subjects in an idealistic fashion combining drama and artificial lighting. The subject is my sister who modelled as a reference, enabling me to control the shadowy effect over her face. The dim lighting and dark background resonated with the period style, focusing on the facial parts that are visible. The end result looks like she is emerging from the darkness. A somber atmosphere is illustrated through visual expression. Adding the fast drying oil on the brushes improved the blending of the colours on the canvas which was especially useful when it came to applying strokes on the face smoothly.

Drawing florals in the landscape scenery was a pleasure I gave myself on Friday afternoon. Just a relaxing and creative process without any expectations is something every artist needs. Give yourself a bit of pleasure today

Its been a while. Here is a new one that I have been working on for a few days. Its my first attempt at using graphite powder for the black background. I used a Lyra 9B Graphite Crayon and ground it down myself into powder. Worked really well. I also purchased a Strathmore Series 500 mixed media roll. The amount of high quality paper for the price - it can't be beat. I am excited with this drawing!

Rough and smudgy. Kind of how I feel. I got frustrated and just put a bunch of pastels on paper. It's not pretty but it's pretty close to being an authentic look inside myself.

I don't often do the prompts and, when I do, I generally finish them late. They don't always speak to me, but this one did. The ideas are not original, but I'm pretty sure I came up with this maxim last year as a way of encouraging myself.

Busy

Ballet dancers in coloured pastels which I don't use very often. I did this work a while ago as a test piece for the medium which I'd never used before. To be fair I don't enjoy doing pastel work myself but love to see it by other artists.

My name is Noah Ivan, and I want to share the painful ordeal of losing my entire life savings due to a scam. I invested $55,000, which I had worked hard to save for both myself and my son, into a cryptocurrency exchange called CoinFx. At first, everything seemed legitimate, and my investments appeared to be growing. But when I tried to withdraw some of my funds, I encountered a “pending withdrawal” message on my account. I reached out to CoinFx’s customer support multiple times, hoping for a resolution. However, instead of helping, they froze my account and left me without any answers. Weeks passed, and despite all my attempts to contact them, I received no real solution. It became clear that I had been scammed, and my money was gone. Feeling desperate and with no other options, I began searching online for ways to recover my funds. That’s when I came across someone who recommended Salvage Asset Recovery, a professional service dedicated to helping people reclaim money from online scams. Although I was initially skeptical, I decided to give them a try, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I reached out to Salvage Asset Recovery, and they immediately began working on my case. They communicated with CoinFx on my behalf, and after a few days of persistent effort, they helped me unblock my account. To my relief, I was able to recover a significant portion of my investment. Salvage Asset Recovery expertise and dedication were nothing short of amazing. They provided the support I needed during one of the most challenging times in my life. Their professionalism gave me confidence that I wasn’t alone in trying to recover my funds. Looking back, this ordeal has taught me valuable lessons about the importance of being cautious when making online investments. I now understand the need for thorough research and the risks involved. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly recommend reaching out to trusted recovery services like Salvage Asset Recovery. They were instrumental in helping me recover my money, and I am incredibly grateful for their assistance. You can contact them using the details provided below. Telegram→ @Salvageasset

In this sketch, I drew myself during the time I lived in Kyiv for a couple of months. It was one of those clear, sunny days when you really want to go outside - but all my friends were busy, and I was too tired of wandering around alone. So I just sat on the carpet, staring out at the balcony, watching the blue sky, the clouds... and the occasional freshwater seagull flying by

Doodled a poster styled sketch for my character concept for a game. It is based off myself and my two dogs.

I made this as a reminder for myself. My past and my environment might hurt me, but inside I am safe, I am enough, I am okay, I am minee. I'm experiencing hard times with trauma and other stuff, so I needed a reminder for myself. This is on my door now. I covered up some personal details, the white blobs. March 2020. Pastel on paper.

I saw this drawing challenge on the internet and decided to do my own version of it.

A surprise scribble done on a whim, and I did not expect this myself. The drawing progress felt very smooth and sleek, almost like it felt more natural to draw characters in this style over my "usual" serious mode.

My gosh. It was so long, but I'm pretty proud of myself with this one. ❤️

AI generated image using text to image, additional attention to detail editing I did myself over a few days. Stay tuned, more coming soon!

This is my picture of myself , I take this picture at 2 pm 8/9/2019 on Iphone 8 plus

Yet again, this came from a doodle... then from there, i just couldn't help myself & continued to add more fun & a few extra nutty bonus cartoons. Hence the number 6. A great caricature artist by the name of Al Hirschfield used to add & scribble his daughters' name into each drawing. He then would add a number next to his signature signaling how many times the name 'Nina' would appear. So in a similar way i too have decided to add a number but mine will simply offer a hint for how many extra cartoons i have deliberately added. Can u find them?

I fear myself.

I am not happy with myself but hey it turned out good

Hey guys! Since this is my first post i wanted to start with Pink Diamond! Honestly i love her design and after watching 'Change Your Mind' I couldn't help myself! So heres a sketch of PD! Hope you like it!

I find myself working on perspective and that what came out.

hi! I'm uploading this as my first sketch with my character here just to introduce myself. I want to have a small place for daily sketches and I hope this website will work just fine for that.

As an amateur artist, painting on a canvas and “ruining it” is a fear that grappled me ever since I could first paint. I didn’t believe in myself to accurately represent my emotions and over the years it has stopped me from painting at all. But today ,i break that, i have created a piece for me ,myself and I and on that note, this sixteen year old artist finally begins her journey on doodle addicts!

Today's next picture isn't so much a digital drawing or even a drawing at all, but rather a picture I took of my own Blogger blog titled "The Nonfictional And Fictional Ideas Of Braeden Annkrisomoth", where I mostly use it to publish and preserve my own ideas relating to my own fiction and nonfiction (the latter especially for "The Hennqew" most of all), though I'm trying to limit giving myself more blog posts just to not necessarily give myself way too much work to the point where writing everything about my comics would take even longer to finish to the point where I couldn't finish any comics at all, just a thought. First published on 10/20/2026.

The front cover of my first published novel titled "The Gissionary", which was originally published on 1/4/2025 on ComicFury.Com. It is a nonfictional novel that serves as a quick dictionary of my own original words, terms, and phrases that I either coined myself or helped popularize, the former especially with my own original word coining method called "Grammatical Idea Simplicity (GIS)". First published on Doodle Addicts on 10/7/2026.

I would like to not care about the pain, allow it to pass and let it flow without fighting it, which is perhaps the only way to let it go. Then I will understand that if I give myself trust, I will be able to remember and I will feel in my heart how many lights I found every time I felt lost.

I wanted to see how far I get if I work on a single drawing for a day. Didn't bother myself with perfect shadowing or symmetry though... I'm going to burn through those nibs real fast drawing hair like this. :)
