OKAY...it also took 10+ months to refine this sketch ^^;;;; (and over a week to finish)
It's weird to be bombarded with uni coursework, graduate, and then suddenly have no time for your 'passion' as a result of gaining experience for your desired career D:
I struggled with more depression over the course of this piece's refining process as a result of online social exclusion ;; I'm just glad that I have genuine friends I can always count on, though... Thank goodness they are wonderful people, thank goodness they exist, thank goodness they give me the motivation to keep pressing on in whatever I do.
A few of my good friends have told me that I should love myself, but I struggle with it so much... Because of how some other people treat you online, your self esteem starts to drop even more than it normally does as a shy and introverted person... You wonder why they treat you this way, especially when they called you their friend first and discard you, but at the same time, you shouldn't blame them for so different because they have their own little clique. It's kind of a norm now...a sad norm, but I guess it affects me a lot because my mental well-being is very dependent on how I feel... As I said in the last piece, I've went months to years feeling quite depressed over my art... But I have to try to create a happy, sweet scene, because in the end, the person on the receiving end should have a smile on their face--it should bring them a bit of happiness--that's what matters when I create art.

Ah, this piece looks super lovely! The texture of the tree was well done, and i'm adoring that sky in the background made complete with the starts and paint splatter nearer the bottom. <3
The pair in the tree also has a very heartwarming feel to it, and i'm impressed the hands actually look like they're holding on to one another for support rather than just placed there!
As for the personal struggles, the only advice i can give is for you to hang in there! Keep moving forward and keep those you trust the most nearby! I too am a bit of an introvert, and my trust issues have been constructed due to multiple betrayals in my own life, but you shouldn't give up even despite all the hardships. Some people are inherently mean, so boo on them if they decided to pick on you, just laugh and look the other way! There's plenty of nice people to counter the mean~
