Try it! I assure you that those books can be your salvation when you need to disconnect from reality, I've been trying art therapy with those books for a while now.

Already have. This post is exactly about that.

you may need to try with some simpler ones first, I did it and now I love these more complex ones.

You think I have 2 left hands and can't manage the complex ones?

Your crocs turned out spectacular hehe, what's left for us? Try to pamper our inner child from time to time so that adult life doesn't consume us completely.

I agree, we should not exclude childish things from our life and should not let others rule our life as these things can help us deal with daily stress and bring a few hours of childish happiness 😀

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend 😉

Haha. Sorry, I didn't explain myself well. I mean, make it a more frequent part of your life, as a form of mindfulness, "Artherapy"

“Two left hands” no no, nothing like that, it's just that many people have told me that they find drawings with a lot of detail overwhelming, that's why I always recommend the simple ones first, at least that's what worked for me. But if you can handle this one. Go for it!

Happy weekend to you too 👋🏼.

I think it all comes down to some basic skill, focus, dedication and supplies. As you see, I took out my pencils as well but having to deal with so small spaces makes it difficult, you hsve to sharpen your pencils every minute, therefore I used ink.

If you don't recognize the problem, there comes frustration and instead of a therapeutic effect, you get exactly the opposite.

I didn't go for the complex ones as again I only had very limited time and I knew I can't finish it, but it's coming 🤪

Perfect! I hope you'll show us the result when you have more time. I started one today and didn't make any progress, just stuck in the middle 🙃 and I chose a really simple one, but I just couldn't do it 🫠.

I will show you my progress for sure.

But why couldn't you finish it? Lack of time or inspiration?

It's a nice one in any case.

I think what's happening to me is a lack of concentration. This week I've wanted to do a lot of things but haven't been able to 😖. Especially when I'm drawing, I focus on my thoughts to try to organize them, but even this strategy didn't work for me today, which is why I didn't make any progress. I'm always encouraging everyone to do art therapy, but this time I couldn't even do it 😅🥹. I guess I'll try again tomorrow, and if not, later in the week. Anyway, I always post them in my posts when I finish them with a reflection on what I got while drawing. I'll wait for yours too 💕.
