ADHD
Hi all, I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD last August. Just wonder whether there are any fellow neurodiversity peeps here or you may suspect you have ADHD/autism? Art does wonders for my mental health. It's the only "hobby" that I've managed to keep. Apparently that's due to the nature of making art, the paint and colours change, you can paint different things etc. You get a big dopamine hit when you create art. Whereas something like crochet I get bored and frustrated, doesn't help being ambidextrous 😅 Hope this post is allowed. Just curious ☺️ Goes along with the theme of being pushed into a "career" and not necessarily being listened to what you truly wanted to do ❤️ But we can change that now!! 💪🏼💪🏼

@Jenny Warden I was just diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year and I can totally relate. So many of my habits make a lot more sense now but it's absolutely a challenge to keep the creativity focused! Happy to meet other neurodiversity peeps and thanks for sharing!

What’s your toxic art trait? 😝
Your ride-or-die art material? The material you keep buying… and can’t stop using. And one or more tip we all need to steal from you

@Hannah Contreras I absolutely relate to this!

My toxic trait is too many mediums and interests to be able to narrow anything down and "find my style". As soon as I start getting into the groove of learning something I see a new style, supply or medium and it's off to the art store!😂 One of my latest obsessions is the Caran d'Ache Neocolor water soluble crayons. They make me feel like a kid again while experimenting with them!

Self portrait
Hello everyone! I hope you're all finding a way to be creative today! I started this last night (and stayed up way too late working on it) and it's the first self portrait that I've ever made. It's not finished but I am very happy with it so far. If anyone has made one of themselves, whether realism or abstract, please post below. I would love to see them. If you've never made one, give it a try! Who knows you better than you?

I just dropped an updated version of my growth guide — and you can grab it for free! 🎉 HOW I GAINED 20K+ FOLLOWERS IN 4 MONTHS ON INSTA FOR ARTISTS This new version is packed with way more than before. It’s all about how I actually grew to 20K followers on Instagram in 4 months — the real strategy behind the saves, hooks, shares & audience building. No fluff, just what worked. 👉 The link: https://ko-fi.com/s/b198143a83 💛 Real talk: If this guide helps you and you feel like leaving a small tip — even just a little — it means the world and keeps the free stuff coming like this community & free courses like this. But absolutely zero pressure. It’s yours either way. This is my gift to you. I hope it helps. 🫶 @responsiblymessyart

I'm 43 and finally working to overcome my fear of sharing my art. It's been a passion since childhood & I'm starting on my professional artist dream.
