Added 2020-06-22 01:20:25 +0000 UTC*Whiteley spends 3 hours painting hair* I don't know! I think it was worth it!
Me: I can write a story about addiction and how it affects your loved ones!
Me four months later: I ONLY DRAW ANGST AND SMUT NOW!
I'm honestly fine, please don't worry! It's actually pretty cathartic. I'm really glad I'm drawing Jazz Baby. I had a talk with GingerHaole on instagram about letting your artwork take the lead and be what it needs to be so you can work through your troubles. I know I've drawn a lot of angst lately, but it's keeping me quite happy actually! I can let it stew, or I draw Crowley screaming at god and walk away with the weight off my shoulders!

2020-06-23 19:44:27 +0000 UTCI also once spent 3 hours drawing this same exact Crowley hair, braid and all. It's just so tempting. This is really lovely and I'm glad the darker content helps you!

2020-06-23 00:56:41 +0000 UTCI literally gasped when I saw this. It’s so amazing to see your art improving Whiteley, the layer of rain really blows me away, as well as all that raw emotion. Art is such a great outlet! Thank you for sharing with us ☺️💚

2020-06-22 19:49:10 +0000 UTCIt’s so true. I have had so many similar experiences, with writing. Certain fics I even dub “fic therapy.” 😅 creating is amazing

2020-06-22 13:30:02 +0000 UTCS’beautiful and so worth it. Art is self expression and to be true to ourselves we need to channel what’s deep inside. Whether that’s angst or love or grief or whatever. Our art speaks for us. And sometimes we speak for the characters we love too.

2020-06-22 13:21:00 +0000 UTCI thin being able to draw angsty art now, is not only cathartic, but shows your progress. Whatever it was, that you've experienced, it shows that you are able to let it speak through the strength in your art. It is truly amazing! Hope you keep on being happy and doing well :D
Theresa Stingeder
2020-06-22 08:00:34 +0000 UTCIt was absolutely worth it. And I agree, art is definitely cathartic.

2020-06-22 06:12:19 +0000 UTCI’m totally the same with fics. Been going through some extremely rough personal stuff recently (more in a few hours actually 😢) but it’s been pushing me to write angst, the most painful angst I’ve ever written. (Not yet published, soon...) Still managed to do a happy ending but it was a rough ride. So I totally empathise. *hugs*

April
2020-06-22 02:21:11 +0000 UTCHonestly I’m here for the angst! I find it very cathartic in art and fiction, so don’t feel bad about posting it!

2020-06-22 02:20:27 +0000 UTCFor sure! I feel like it can have mixed results for some folks though... I know end up being real critical and stewing after I finish something! 😅
Hannah
2020-06-22 02:10:05 +0000 UTCThis is amazing. And the hair... ❤🔥 It is so beautiful. The emotions leap off the page...screen...both. I would love to purchase this as a print.

Shadow Kana
2020-06-22 01:49:53 +0000 UTCThis is beautiful, and I completely relate. Sometimes you just have to let it out in art form so it doesn’t stick to you!

2020-06-22 01:36:10 +0000 UTC"I ONLY DRAW ANGST AND SMUT NOW" My buddy, my friend, I broke a 5 year writer's block writing angsty smut fanfic that was supposed to be just smut and then 12 pages of plot happened...mm
