Art Therapy

I found old drawings I made when I was 6.

While I analysed it I realised that I identified with the dragon.
So now I wondered what kind of dragon would stay true to the old drawing and yet represent my current self. Soon I discovered that the dragon I drew resembled a dragon I really liked from Httyd (my childhood series). I looked it up and the personality description matched.
So I decided to redraw it.

Here are the results.

For anyone wondering, here is the link to the dragon: Prickleboggle (Franchise)

I'm not going back to art group. I've missed 4 months already and I just don't have the energy to draw anymore. I was gonna bring my noise cancelling headphones so I wasn't gonna socialize anyway. I'm looking for crafting groups online cuz I want to do more sewing. I also really want to find a pottery studio where I can do some sculpting. I have always loved working with clay.

Had fun at art class last night. Had fun drawing trees. For the first time, after a fruitless attempt to draw a tree from my phone, I stopped trying and started playing about, drawing trees from my mind instead. Particularly proud of this one. It reminds me of EH Shephard's 100 acre wood illustrations (though not as complex - he was a brilliant artist ☺️)

Here is the last photo, for now. It is also of the old Studebaker. One of the doors is missing it's exterior panel and this is the window gear inside. I like the industrial, rusted shapes and patterns.

Here is photo 5. There is an old, rusted Studebaker that used to be just on the side of the road. Now it is mounted on concrete pillars with no wheels as a Route 66 marker.

Here is photo 4. It is 3 petroglyphs from Martha's Butte, the spiral looking one is called a solar marker and during the summer solstice at sunrise the marker is half in shadow. The one on the left I don't know what it is. The bottom one looks like an old cell flip phone lol!

Here is the 3rd photo. It is a close-up/macro shots of one of the crystalized centers of a log. It looks pearl-like.

Here is the 2nd photo. It is the patterns of the tree rings of one of the logs. It kind of looks like a bullseye.
