Does anyone else feel this way? Sometimes it can be really overbearing… it feeds into my depression and makes me withdraw completely. The nice thing about sharing this comic with folks for feedback is that I learned that I’m not the only one who feels this way at times.Just to define a bit: intrusive thoughts and anxiety are closely related, but don’t always overlap. An intrusive thought like ‘no one loves you’ stems from anxiety. Intrusive thoughts like ‘what’s STOPPING me from setting my own room on fire?’ doesn’t come from an anxiety that you are going to somehow uncontrollably set your room on fire. It’s a (sometimes) frightening and obnoxious unwanted voice that has a tendency of making you feel like a bad person just for thinking about something… even if it’s something you would never do.Watch a speed paint of panel 7 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cbRFBY9pR0(This is that first comic I think I’ve made since… junior year of high school? so like, 7 years? Wow, to think I used to be really into making them (ie, my own terrible terrible manga that I hope never sees the light of day) So go easy on me! I tried addressing a few weaknesses of mine here: color and composition. I tend to do a lot of local color so I decided to try different limited color palettes for each panel and try out different compositional elements as well. I know the colors don’t totally go together from panel to panel, but I’m proud of myself for the effort and for pushing myself! Please like/comment/reblog if you have ever felt this way <3 ) -- source link
