Discussion Make some abstract art with me (no skill required)

[Mint Floss]

Something that I like to do occasionally is make some really low effort abstract paintings in procreate. I'm no good at art, so it's nice to throw it all out the window and just scribble my feelings. It can help center me if I'm having a breakdown and it can be fun too
Here's one I made just now:


See, low effort.
It doesn't have to be a drawing, it can be anything. Whatever calls to you.

i like photography or collaging. it helps me feel better sometimes. i don't collage that often because i don't have a lot of physical material i can do it with. i like your art. people have told me to take up an instrument but the whole thing makes me feel stressed and stupid. it's hard to want to learn something so difficult when the learning curve feels so steep in comparison to doing something intuitive like watercolor or digital art.

I certainly found out that it helps just to take your feelings out on canvas (whichever form that may be). Unfortunately I don't do it so often, but this is a good reminder. The last time I did so this is what I ended up with:

That looks great!! The subtle colors and aggressive brushstrokes manages to capture a simultaneous sense of depression and anger. Perhaps a struggle? I can't tell whether the white lines look more like scratches or something growing upwards. I like this one. I feel like I get lost in it when I look at it.
