y’all get sketchbook doodles this week, art block possessed me again
As someone who experiences dissociation, I wanted to illustrate how it felt to me. It often feels like everything I feel and experience is secondhand, like I’m living through this half-alive shell of a creature that isn’t me
I’ve been doing better lately, and mainly made this as a way to help me process things
Very weird feeling
To anyone else who experiences this, you’re not alone, you’re not a burden, and I’m happy you exist here with me
Ouhh I needed to reblog this for later use
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Sheepishly posting OC art since the algorithm hates it
Some slightly older works, second drawing is a friend’s oc
Unmotivated
A visual depiction of the creativity actively leaving my physical being 💀
