Rough Sketchbook Sketches
Hi. Long time no see. I have finally come back to drawing after about 3 months of not drawing anything. I hit a rough patch in my mental health and now I’m in therapy and have finally after lots of rest, decided to come back to my first love. Art. Thanks for your patience and for all of the support I have been getting on my previous posts.
Like, comment, and follow for more please 🥺🫶✨

Taking a break from art can sometimes feel like losing a part of yourself, especially if creativity has always been a passion. I’ve personally experienced periods where life’s pressures and mental health challenges made it hard to pick up my sketchbook. During these times, therapy and rest were vital in helping me heal and gain perspective. Coming back to art after a hiatus feels incredibly refreshing. Using a rough sketchbook is perfect for this transition because it allows you to draw freely without pressure, experiment, and express emotions visually without worrying about perfection. Sketching can be remarkably therapeutic—it helps process feelings and reignites motivation. If you’re struggling similarly, I recommend starting small: dedicate a few minutes a day to sketch whatever comes to mind with no judgment. Over time, this habit can rebuild confidence and joy in your creative process. Include hashtags like #iLoveToSketch or #sketchbook when sharing online to connect with supportive communities of artists who understand your journey. Also, consider integrating your art practice into your mental health routine, using it as a mindful activity alongside therapy sessions. The blend of professional support and creative expression can foster a deeper sense of calm and self-discovery. Remember, every line on your rough sketchbook is progress and a step toward healing. Embrace the imperfections and allow yourself to grow through art—it’s a commitment to yourself and your well-being.
