wow it has been forever since I made an art forum of any kind. After falling out of love with art of most types, I decided to try and draw to release my stress. Its been about a year since I have drawn on pencil and paper - a full drawing, not just sketches - and I just poured my soul into those pieces. Recently, I have been struggling with thinking I am enough. It happens to the best of us and with a ton of changes going on in my life and the stress of college exams (especially my math exam - i have an absent instructor), its just difficult. I know I am one of the fortunate ones but, its still hard to deal with. Anyways, I have debated over the last couple of days if i would post these drawings simply because they mean so much to me. They are mainly scribbles but I decided I would throw them out there for anyone willing to take a look. I plan on focusing on this type of art for a while with a goal of drawing at least one image a day to post here. Welcome to Nyx's Traditional Mess of a gallery! |

this is done with charcoal, it took me about 45 minutes to do. I think this is one of my favorite pieces I have done this week. (its not the first one I have done and the posts below are in no particular order)  |

another charcoal piece... as you all can probably tell, I didn't go for a full, ultra detailed look. (also this is only the second time ive ever used charcoal and I really like it. This is a piece I did in 30 minutes before my math exam to ease my nerves) |

These were quick 15 minute sketches that I did late last night with two charcoal pencils (black and white). |

I wanted to practice textures and older skin with a mechanical pencil. I went behind with some white charcoal to add highlights and fix some areas I think were too dark. I didnt really want to do the mouth since I kept messing up so i just put the triangle shape there. This is the second drawing that I did which I did on the 14th. My first one was a figure drawing but I dont think nude drawings would be allowed (even if they arent explicit and youd see someone's backside) I am sure many of you wouldnt appreciate it so i am holding those but If you are interested in seeing any of my figure drawings just pm me and I can send them to you... for now I have contacted a mod asking about it :)  |
