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.

      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

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday
    • MaeBe
      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      @Ivy that is a great point! Great post!

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.
