•𝚁𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝• 😰 Had a little bit of a break on my art, but I am back again! I actually created this piece to deal with my own stress and emotions at the time being. It was a little out of my comfort zone as I only used watercolour, absolutely no ink! (Though still black and white haha) I would say this is kind of a self portrait, not literally as I didn’t use myself as reference for this at all; however I think it really sums up how I feel right now, even if I don’t exactly know what I’m feeling myself. The word ‘replacement’ really caught my attention when thinking about what this means to me, and I’m not sure why. Maybe I’ll figure it out in the future. I think everyone’s having a rough time at the moment, especially because of lockdown 2! Hope everyone is okay and keeping well during this whole mess. Let me know what you think of this piece ☺️❤️ • • • • • • • • #lockdown2 #lockdown #lockdownblues #replacement #emotiveart #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthart #blackandwhiteart #watercolourpainting #emotiveart #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #supportcreatives https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqu-gthjwY/?igshid=12idqg5jq6zwz

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚛𝚝𝚢-𝙾𝚗𝚎: 𝙲𝚛𝚊𝚠𝚕• I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported me through this by commenting, liking and sharing all of my pieces for inktober this month. I couldn’t have completed it otherwise, and it gave me so much more motivation on the days where I found it hardest. I am so happy that I achieved what I wanted with this challenge and can’t believe I drew something everyday for thirty one days! For this piece, I was thinking about how so many of us are crawling through life at the moment. I know I feel like I’ve not got enough energy to stand and walk through it as there is just one thing after the other being thrown at me. This month has been a particularly difficult one for me but I have still crawled through it and achieved so much. I wanted the leaves on the back to represent a glimmer of hope or accomplishment when we are going through these difficult times. I don’t know what I’m going to do now this is finished! I definitely need a break that’s for sure ahaha. Sorry for such a long caption today, thank you for sticking around and I hope you like this last piece ❤️❤️ • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober2020 #inktoberday31 #inktobercomplete #blackandwhite #crawl #inkart #artober #drawtober #smallartist #smallbusiness #conceptart #mentalhealth #challenge #challengecomplete #lastday #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CHCBQZDhGxy/?igshid=b07i4l95vcvs

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚛𝚝𝚢: 𝙾𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚜• Second to last day! Ominous is actually my favourite word so I felt pressure to make this one good 😂 The meaning of the word ominous is to give the impression that something bad is going to happen. Sometimes I struggle with very specific things, and I can get a horrible feeling that if these things aren’t done something bad will happen to me. I know that it can be completely irrational, but I can actually make myself feel physically sick about it. It’s something so many people can struggle with in so many different ways. I think for myself, this feeling can pull me back and keep me from living with less stress and being able to do what I want to do. I wanted all these feelings to come across in this picture, the hands pulling being the ominous feeling that holds me back sometimes, and the person being me. Let me know what you think ❤️❤️ • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober #inktober2020 #inktoberday30 #ominous #blackandwhiteart #artober #drawtober #conceptart #inkart #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthart #smallartist #smallbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_dIk8hXMh/?igshid=bjsdssvwf3cn

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝙽𝚒𝚗𝚎: 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚎𝚜• Only two more to go at#free this one! I can’t believe I got this far! Thank you to everyone for sticking around to see my inktober ❤️ This one I thought of the phrase put yourself in other people’s shoes. People may be putting up a front when really they’re struggling with a lot. If we put ourselves in other peoples shoes, we are less likely to assume things about people, and we could have more empathy for how others may feel. I wanted to represent a person putting on a good front who’s actually struggling badly in my piece. I hope all this makes sense haha. • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober #inktoberday29 #inktober2020 #art #artistoninstagram #smallartist #artober #drawtober #conceptart #thoughtprovoking #putyourselfintheirshoes #shoes https://www.instagram.com/p/CG83a5aB9Sk/?igshid=rvw29b1p4xzu

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝙴𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝: 𝙵𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚝• Sorry this ones so late! I had such a busy day that it was hard to squeeze it in, still I managed to do it before I went to sleep! I often feel as if I’m ‘floating’ through life. Not necessarily in a good way, but it can almost feel like I’m not even alive, like I’m not actually living my life I’m just watching it go on. I think this is actually a way of coping with stress, and I’ve discussed it with people who sometimes feel the same way. Let me know what you think of this one. (Sorry if I’m not making sense I’m sooooooo tired 😂) • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober2020 #inktober #inktoberday28 #float #mentalhealth #artober #drawtober #localartist #blackandwhiteart #conceptualart https://www.instagram.com/p/CG6QWt8h5k-/?igshid=76xaoyk0uwsy

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝚂𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗: 𝙼𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚌•🎵 Hello everyone! Inktober is almost over now! I think even though I’m looking forward to a rest from drawing every day, I will definitely miss it too! I have learnt so much this month and I feel my skill level has risen too. Each day I have found it easier to come up with ideas and finish the piece on time. The prompt was ‘music’. For me, music is a very important thing. It’s something that has helped me cope and get through so many situations, it always calms me down and puts me in a good mood. I think it’s so important to have some way of coping with everything, especially with the world the way it is now. When I listen to music, I can feel it inside, as cheesy as that may sound. It moves me and I couldn’t live without it. I wanted to somehow portray this in the piece I’ve done for today, I hope you like it ❤️ • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober2020 #inktober #inktoberday27 #music #artober #drawtober #inkwork #blackandwhiteart #conceptart #smallartist #challenge #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CG3mQmzBRas/?igshid=1ersenllqlf5f

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝚂𝚒𝚡: 𝙷𝚒𝚍𝚎• Here’s my piece for today, it’s more simple than it has been, but I like how bold it looks. I found this one to be quite therapeutic, I love drawing butterfly wings so much! I get this feeling soooo often of wanting to hide away. Most days I just want to wrap up into a cocoon and remain in my comfort zone. Unfortunately it’s not possible to do this a lot of the time, so I have to push myself to do things a lot of the time. I think it’s important to know when to stop though and when you need to let your mind have a rest, else it could actually get harder for you in the future. If you feel like you need to hide away sometimes, that’s a completely normal feeling, and make sure you give yourself the time to do that when you absolutely need to ❤️ • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober2020 #inktober #artober #drawtober #inktoberday26 #inktoberhide #hide #bold #minimalistic #mentalhealth #smallartist #challenge #comfortzone https://www.instagram.com/p/CG08nM3BeE6/?igshid=1jv5g7fkmzn4c

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝙵𝚒𝚟𝚎: 𝙱𝚞𝚍𝚍𝚢•👯‍♂️ Hey everyone! Hope you had a good day today! Today’s piece is about true friends. I think it’s important to have at least one true friend in your life, who you can talk to about anything without judgement, and do the same for them. Someone that will grow with you and make you a better person, and you can do the same for them in return. Friends like these are so precious and not everyone has them, I am so glad that I do and appreciate them so much. Let this be a little reminder to talk to your friends and rely on them when you need to. Don’t keep your problems to yourself, it’s not good for you. Don’t feel like you’re a weight on them, you’re not. A burden shared is a burden halved. ❤️ I wanted to convey two people growing together in this one, I hope that it shows.

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝙵𝚘𝚞𝚛: 𝙳𝚒𝚐• Hey, this is my piece for the word ‘dig’. When I thought of that word, I thought about one of the feelings I probably get the most. Sometimes I just want to dig a hole, curl up at the bottom of it, and just be away from everything while the world goes on without me. I don’t have much else to say about it as I don’t think it needs explaining, it’s a feeling most people have from time to time. Hope everyone has a great day and enjoys the extra hour in bed after the clocks go back (I know I will! 😴😂) • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktoberday24 #artober #drawtober #mentalhealth #conceptart #localartist #supportsmallbusinesses #blackandwhiteartist #inkart https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvtb3lBMoU/?igshid=1rahihdozxim5

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝚃𝚑𝚛𝚎𝚎: 𝚁𝚒𝚙• Shorter caption today, as I need some sleep haha! I hope everyone is doing well, my idea for this was someone ripping off their skin. I liken this to a feeling I get when I feel either restless or full of stress and anxiety. I feel like something crawling through my skin and it’s agitating and makes me feel worse a lot of the time! Hope everyone likes this one ❤️ • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktober2020 #inktober #inktoberday23 #rip #artistoninstagram #smallbusiness #artober #drawtober #conceptart #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthart https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtJ7ABhsPe/?igshid=5aouwsp9md46

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝚃𝚠𝚘: 𝙲𝚑𝚎𝚏• 👩‍🍳 Good evening everyone, tonight’s post has a simple idea around it really as I am soooo tired, I don’t even know why I just feel worse and worse by the day 😴 This word was really hard and I just didn’t know what to do at first, so the only thing I could think of was someone stirring some sort of concoction like a chef. I don’t like the idea but that’s all I’ve got and I really want to complete this challenge, so that’s what I did. My idea for this was your struggles with mental health can be made up of so many different things, but on their own they’re just things. Sometimes you’re not helping yourself and you can actually be ‘stirring the pot’ and making yourself feel worse and worse. My fiancé’s interpretation was in fact about other people being toxic for you and they can be stirrers. I’m sorry I haven’t explained it well but honestly I can even explain how tired I am 😂 I hope you all had a lovely day, thank you for the continuous support, it really helps ❤️ • • • • • • • • https://www.instagram.com/p/CGqlQlZBB12/?igshid=5rz7syvwzqwe

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢-𝙾𝚗𝚎: 𝚂𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙• Sphere is my piece for today, I decided on quite a positive message for this one. I’d like to say it’s almost a reminder for everyone to get the right amount of sleep today! The right amount of sleep is great for your mental health. O definitely needed to see this as I had a bad nights sleep last night, so I’ve been grumpy all day today! 😂 I wanted this to look simple and eye-catching, and have a peaceful aspect about it. Let me know if you think I captured this, and also what you think of the peace ☺️ Shorter paragraph today as I’m absolutely exhausted 😅😅 hope everyone has a nice night ❤️ • • • • • • • • #birminghamartist #inktoberday21 #inktober #sleep #mentalhealth #artober #drawtober #inktober2020 #localartist #smallbusinessowner https://www.instagram.com/p/CGn3tXfB0lz/?igshid=11knq2qqwhgny

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢: 𝙲𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚕• Hi again everyone, I am late on this today as I am soooo tired, which made me work slower. I had a tough time coming up with this idea, as it’s such a straight forward word and I didn’t know how to interpret it. I’ll let you know my thoughts and I’d love to hear what you think! The person is falling down into the ocean and on the coral, feeling helpless, lost and worthless. I know that I struggle with these feelings so often, and it can feel like you’re being pulled down and like there’s a massive weight inside of you. The coral is the positive part, coral is so important to the ocean as it provides shelter to underwater creatures, and also food. It’s a massive part of the eco system, and without it so many creatures could die, which can affect us massively. There are so many different types and each one is unique. In a way, we are all like coral, each one of us is unique, has their own way of helping no matter what it is, and is so so important. If we ever feel down we should remember this ❤️ I hope you liked it, sorry it was late! • • • • • • • • #coral #unique #inktobef #inktober2020 #inktoberday20 #drawtober #artober #smallartist #birminghamartist #conceptart #uniqueart #blackandwhiteart #inkart #inkartist #supportcreatives #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlfU9nhHL7/?igshid=1raqvts05si35

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝙽𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚗: 𝙳𝚒𝚣𝚣𝚢• So here is my piece for today! I will admit I really really struggled today, but I’m so glad I did it in the end! I feel like I’m saying that so often for this challenge, but I will admit it’s hard to be able to come up with an idea for each day and to have the energy to even complete them each day. But, thinking about it positively, I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made this month and feel my work has definitely been improving, and I love interacting with everyone! I would never have believed even a year ago that so many would keep up with my work ☺️ I’m so grateful, thank you so much! For me, this piece is strongly linked to anxiety, and how I’ve faced things in the past. Anxiety has made me literally feel dizzy, like the room is spinning and I can’t physically get up. It’s made me feel disorientated, and like I can’t face the day. I wish that I could just pick it off out of myself, get up, and continue on with my life, like other people seem to be able to. I think I need to remember that people aren’t how they seem on the outside, they could be struggling with so much and we just don’t know it. I definitely wouldn’t like people thinking that I’m always okay, because I’m not even if I try so hard to be. Let me know your own thoughts ☺️ Also, on a side note, next month I’m trying to get out some tote bags! I put a little preview on my story, more on that another time though! Sorry for such a long caption today and thanks for reading if you got this far, hope everyone is doing okay ❤️❤️ • • • • #birminghamartist #dizzy #anxiety #mentalhealth #inktober2020 #inktoberday19 #artober #drawtober #inktober #promptlist #challenge #blackandwhiteart #conceptart #emotiveart #localart #smallartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiukPbh8a4/?igshid=hq3zlajdnfnn

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝙴𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚗: 𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚙• So this is my piece for today’s word, and my thoughts behind it were locking yourself inside your mind, and trapping yourself. I was looking forward to this one and I’m please how it’s turned out. I think sometimes, when we want to do something that’s outside of our comfort zone, we may talk ourselves out of it; if we do this enough times we may find it harder and harder to live our life and be free to do the things we want to do. I definitely struggle with this, as I find it so hard to push myself sometimes, and if I didn’t have some of the people who have been in my life, I would never be where I am now; I would be afraid to be alive. • • • • • • • • #inktober #inktober2020 #inktoberday18 #artober #drawtober #birminghamartist #artistsoninstagram #supportcreatives #supportartistsoninstagram #smallbusiness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthart #conceptart #inkwork #inkandpen #blackandwhiteart https://www.instagram.com/p/CGf5xfshtLC/?igshid=1m4jpe82j44i2

•𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚂𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚗: 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚖• ⛈ Hi everyone, I know it’s a bit late again today, but here’s my piece for the prompt ‘storm’. This piece didn’t at all turn out how I wanted it to, and I definitely want to explore this concept again someday. It’s not that I think it’s bad, but I just want to see how it would look if I had the appropriate amount of time to plan and portray this concept. I think everyone has a stormy head some days, filled with so many emotions that are brewing and brewing over. I wanted the raindrops from the clouds to appear as though they’re going through the eyes, like their problems are making them cry. I don’t know if that’s easily seen from how I drew it, but I hope you like it either way ☺️ please let me know what you think ❤️❤️ (On a side note, it’s six months to the day I get married! And I’m so excited!) • • • • • • • • #inktoberday17 #inktober2020 #inktober #birminghamartist #birmingham #art #conceptart #storm #stormy #artober2020 #artistsoninstagram #drawtober2020 #drawtober2020 #artober #emotive #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdpU7UBgqm/?igshid=42zbt7a8ke1
