Creativity is borderline magical when it comes to being kind to yourself when long term ill. I look forward to looking through everyone else's work.... Here are a few of my drawings. The astronaut one was a screen drawing with special screen pen... I used to love doing pet portraits so hopefully I'll be doing that again soon. Sorry about the dodgy screen grab shots... πŸ˜† My arms and hands are bad at the moment....

    They're wonderful @GentlyMelted. I was admiring your profile picture and it turns out you drew it! I bet doing pet portraits was fun. We have a lot of animal lovers here 😊

    Thanks! Some months, some weeks. I don't really keep track as they generally become a comfort activity done for a few hours each day... 😎

    Do you know what your next piece of art will be @GentlyMelted?😊

    I do... I'm getting back to my glowing works. Using different colours of glow in the dark paint creates glows with different glow rates and times. Used in a certain way it's possible to create depth that changes as you view it. I did a few test works a while ago and they were great. So I'll get back to that until my bedroom is a nightime wonderland again. I've loved glow in the dark things since I was little. I did a great one a while back. A real time symmetry one using glow in the dark boards and mirrors, then when you draw a simple shape with a uv laser pen, a very complex symmetry immediately forms like magic. Its extra magical in the dark because the mirrors disappear so it really looks crazy... Then you can do real time art with that which is great for keeping your mind from wandering and getting sad if you're struggling.... I have many and varied ideas like those... 🎨
