Primary drawings
Because I wanted to do a project that could help with my struggle with mental health, I decided that using a specific place that I often visit would be a great start to gathering my primary resources.
I started to draw out some small illustrations of plants and twigs that I had come by on a walk to relieve some stress, using a range of drawing material such as pencils, pens, charcoal, crayons and then progressed onto using paints.
I found that doing this was beneficial in a way to my mental state because I had set myself small tasks to go out and make simple drawings of these natural objects that I could achieve to actually do. To which my well-being began to improve at a good rate.
I think the monochrome simple line drawings of the leaves are really effective and has a delicate look to them. I would say they are my most favourable draws from the rest of the drawings.
