// nov 1 2018 // It's been a while since I did a self portrait! SAI2, 2hours.

Today's #inktober witch is... wait a minute! That's me! It's #selfportraitday! So I thought it would be fun to draw myself similar to my inktober series. You can call me the art witch! With my cat Oliver as my familiar! Though it would be not fun to have my drawings come to life (especially my Anxiety monster). #selfportraitday2018 #art #illustartion #pen #ink #drawing #anxiety #mental #health #illness #sprite #plant #mushroom #cat #selfportrait #cute https://www.instagram.com/p/BpqxwIfBvqQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i8c4cebomalp

DIA DO AUTORRETRATO™ \o/ só pra variar, eu continuo me atrasando. Desta vez foram algumas semanas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Umas coisas não mudam, outras só pioram :p Apesar de todos os pesares eu tinha que fazer esse rolê, porque a única régua que eu mantenho do meu trabalho é esse retrato anual feito como pintura digital. É nesse hora que eu vejo como foi o ano, o quanto eu caminhei...pra frente e pra trás. O do ano anterior não me agradou muito, mas hoje eu gosto de ver como o passo pra trás que vai dar um impulso pra frente. 2018 tem sido isso: Passos pra trás que espero que se tornem grandes impulsos. No fim das contas, tem sido divertido aprender as coisas do início do zero de novo. É muito bom quando fazer arte volta a ser divertido. Vou escrever isso no caderno pra não me esquecer :p E minha meta ano que vem é, não só dar um impulso em qualidade, como acertar o prazo (ò.ó) Fica um singelo e sincero "perdão pelo vacilo" de todos os prazos que eu tive de esticar e continuo esticando este ano o/ Vou tentar compensar tudo com os melhores resultados que puder\o/ #instartist #instalike #digitalart #selfportraitday #selfportraitday2018 #late #adobephotoshop #portrait #selfie (at Portal Bombeiro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqdb6gNBQWm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kv49cdjne6fm

Self portrait for 2018 This year has been a bit rough and lately I've been struggling with depression. This portrait is to reflect my inner struggle which has had its toll on my body with weight gain, aches in my joints and lack of sleep. I recently got a dog to give me company while I work at home and motivation to exercise, and despite his own problems he definitely has helped. If you struggle with depression my advice is be kind to yourself and get help. My next step is to look at changing my medication and look into getting counselling again. It's a journey. www.belindaillustrates.com #selfportraitday #selfportraitday2018 #artanddepression #selfreflection #bluepencil #sketchbook #belindaillustrates #australianartist @changelingartist (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpnvq1sBCCv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18y5wbqh0e8sf
