A Few of My Drawings


Becoming Diana

Recommended Posts

A few of my drawings.  I'm  kind of a beginner so they're probably not as good as some other artists.  But I like them.

Nice! @Becoming Diana I like those too. Your portraits capture emotion behind the faces and the others show a fine graphic balance. Keep on enjoying yourself with this. My art sustains me, too.

Your drawings are really good. All are such different styles. Often we get caught up in one style one way of thinking and it is wonderful to be able to create with different styles as they bring different energies and let emotions and ideas come out.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Davie.  I haven't drawn anything for a while.  I feel like I need to get back to it soon.

Your art is lovely!  The shading really gives it depth and life. I know drawing can be super cathartic-- I hope you find it to be a constructive and exciting experience!  

Happy creating,

Wesley

Good morning Diana,

 

I love the creative process of seeing something in your head, and putting it into a peaceful time. My wife would always talk with the kids about how much time I spend sitting at my workbench doing nothing. Then be totally surprised when a project was completed. I do believe that my hours of solitude in the shop were a form of hiding my true depression. 

 

I hope you continue to share your Art and Life with as much happiness as you desire.

 

Hugs,

@Mmindy some people do yoga, others plates, still others cycle or run. We make stuff.

For me I believe it's a form of meditation that finishes with something created.

As is drawing and painting.

Letting oneself relax (despite the swearing when something goes wrong ?) is a big necessity today.

 

Hugs

Thank you to you both for your comments.  Drawing is definitely relaxing.  And satisfying.  The feeling of creating something that wouldn't even exist without your effort is so rewarding.

I have a wonderful quote from Ai Weiwei whose wonderful exhibit at Alcatraz i managed to see several years ago:

 

I'M NOT SURE

I'M GOOD AT ART 

BUT I FIND AN

ESCAPE IN IT.

I met a ex-nazi soldier who was in army because he had to. He now lived in California. He was captured by the Allies and escaped because he couldn't stand being in concentration camp. He now paints to escape the memories.

Wow, those are great @Becoming Diana! I don't really draw, but I write a lot. It's a pretty big coping mechanism for me, since I get to feel in control and I can make as many trans, nonbinary, and other characters as I want. Two of my more recent characters are Matra and Jem. Matra is a trans woman and a warrior that built a safe haven for magical creatures and people, while Jem is a trans man who is a wizard with light powers. 

Matra also has three kids and raises them to be accepting of themselves and others, while Jem owns a magic shop and teaches an apprentice there. 

It feels really natural to write them, and I hope to write more in the future!

I love to see people's drawings. They are all different and give a picture of the world as it is. Keep up the good work :)

That sounds wonderful.  I've written a few short stories and poems.  I enjoy writing too.  I haven't written anything in a while though.  I need to do something about that.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
