Miguel’s 100 Day Art Challenge for Anxiety Therapy

[migocca]

Day 26 (IOU for 5/29).  I’ve been too anxious to create until today.  I started with the eye and worked my way out. There was too much white space for my taste so I filled in with pink lines–fail or no fail? I like this one either way. 30 minutes.

Day 27, 28 & 29 (IOUs for 5/30-6/1). I’m struggling with my anxiety lately. I wake up feeling horrible and don’t feel creative at all, void of motivation. After a day of crappiness it started to pass and I had to do some artwork!  No rules, no direction, just endless doodles. 90 minutes.

Day 30, 31, 32 (IOUs for 6/2-6/4). This will be in 2 parts for art piece uploads, one finished and one started.

Continued: Days 30, 31, 32 (IOUs for 6/2-6/4).  Really the completed first piece was done during the first 30 minutes.  This second piece started and should be finished soon.  Not sure where I’m going with it but it’s fun. I used a stencil for the circles. 90 minutes clocked in today.

Day 33 for 6/5. Retro work!  I fell off track majorly but I’m back. I did 3 days, the next 2 posts are days 34 & 35. I abandoned the weird virus bubbles to do my normal stress relieving doodles.

Day 34 for 6/6. Another installment of 30 minutes (forgot to mention that in the previous post!).  I had no trouble whipping these pieces up.  I’ve been holding in my creativity so bam here it is!

Day 35 for 6/7.  The last installment for now. The third set of 30 minutes art piece.

Day 36. I’m not even sure when I did this piece. I usually feel good about an artwork if I fill the entire page but in this case I didn’t know what else to draw so I abandoned it. I guess it’s okay to not have to cover the page in artwork however I feel some kind of guilt for leaving all the blank space. The guilt isn’t as bad as not committing to the daily half-hour sessions as I had originally intended–a different level of abondonment. 30 minutes.

Day 37 & 38 for 6/9 & 6/10. (Completed last night on 6/25 before midnight)  I returned to the pattern that looks floral so I can achieve that repetition/routine feel.  I don’t know why these kinds of doodles make me feel satisfied but it doesn’t matter as long as I just do more! Can’t stop completely–I have come this far! 60 minutes

Day 39-43 (major catch up!). This colorful piece was inspired by other doodles I’ve created. 150 minutes (five 30 minute sessions)

Day 44. I thought I’d practice something life-like and do flowers. The first ones I pulled from my imagination starting from top left working my way clockwise with some I looked up on Google. 30 minutes.

Day 45 & 46 [Part 1 of 2]. Lines, lines, lines, just a bunch of lines! About 15 mins. The rest of 15 spent on part 2, see next post.

[migocca]

Day 46 [Part 2 of 2]. I felt like the line streak made me crave color!  So I went bold and fun with it.  A little late for pride month but it’s all good.  Color is for everyone!! About 45 minutes.
