Subway Therapy Images
Prompt: To create a series of 4 - 6 color abstractions in your sketchbook (or on watercolor paper). You are free to use digital drawing or mixed media for this assignment.
Recently my personal life has been pretty messy as I went through a rollercoaster phase of stress and depression, I think it’s a perfect timing for me to develop therapeutic art pieces like this. The concept is basically a “personal recovery” reflection, I think from the self care process, my mental health and realization of self love healing through a form of waves. Therefore, I used wavelike elements and little circles as I found them very cute and healing.
I mainly used digital drawing on Procreate, I used “airbrush” to draw the breathable light texture background and I used a vintage brush called campagnia to draw the intricate and strong touches of linework. I chose six different color palettes based on my own aesthetics as I found “therapeutic” and “healing” and using liquify tool to create the waves element at the background.
