Self Destructive Relief
January 22, 2022
I used a fountain pen to illustrate this. I feel an intense amount of pain and e anxiety in my day to day life, but I use my art to find a way to let that out. This drawing is about art as coping.

Great job on the hands, and I do agree with @KorosenseiIsMySensei, there could be a bigger emphasis on the main focus, whether that be the hand, the knife, or even both. Overall, keep up this amazing art cause like, girl, its really really good.

@Oliviabranch I like how this drawing has so much meaning. Very straightforward. What I liked most was the details on the hands. My suggestion would be to add more detail or emphasis to the knife or the part of the drawing that is like the centerpiece. Other than that keep up the great work. I hope to see more in the future.

This drawing has so much power in such a small space. Really well done, and it has such a deeper meaning than one might think. Really great job.

It's just a simple drawing but looking at it and feeling it was enough to make me almost cry.

i love these hands! i love that knife!! most people can only draw one kind of knife (cough cough undertale fanart cough cough) so the fact that you drew a different sort makes the fact that this is a knife instead of a knife in a drawing like 20x more prevelant (if that makes any sense lol) awawawawa ur art is so pretty
This piece is beautiful, It really portrays what message you're trying to give to your viewers
(To everyone who reads this I'd like to send out this message to those who are struggling)..
Your skin isn't PAPER so don't CUT IT
Your face isn't a MASK so don't HIDE IT
Your size isn't a BOOK so don't JUDGE IT
Your life isn't a MOVIE so don't END IT

Your hands are beautiful. I absolutely adore them. Just remember everyone, permanent solutions dont fix temporary problems:)
