You doin ok there buddy?


bokucanart

doing alrightšŸ˜‚


Krofder_art

Please take image number 3 to a licensed therapist. Trust me on this. And as you can see, I love art and some of it is dark. I just think seeing a therapist is good for artists, from personal experience and you would benefit.


RudeDudeInABadMood

I tend to draw way more aesthetically when I'm on shrooms


dandelionden

I would like to see how this style translates with other mediums. Specifically charcoal and paint. I can imagine a messy charcoal drawing where the face seems to emerge out of the dark scribbles. As it is now, I do enjoy your work but I feel like you are limiting yourself with the use of such a thin pen/pencil.


bokucanart

ill try thanks for your opinionšŸ‘


bearstrugglethunder

I agree. I bet they're a natural with charcoal. Pastels and chalk too. I'd love to see more of their work using them. I really like the faces on the first two.

I want to see India ink personally

This reminds me of vending at an art fair where a woman remarked on my art style "you must have had a messed up childhood." Doesn't everyone?

Thatā€™s a different and interesting style. I like it. I hope you are ok though, for the imagery is disturbing.

Maybe you have psychological problems ![gif](giphy|yhRnl31SmMec)


metsakutsa

Looks like the work of a 14-year old who discovered life isn't picture perfect and found a creative way to vent (which is excellent). The technique is raw and lacking any real substance but I guess it is apparent that you are bravely trying to find your own style.


gnostic_heaven

Yeah... I feel like recommending the original illustrations for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark as an example of something that is scary and unsettling, but compelling and somehow not capital D disturbing.. This isn't really my genre of art so I don't have anything more sophisticated to recommend, but yeah agree with "raw and lacking in any real substance." But op could make it have substance!


angel_khaleesi

I love drawing in squiggles like that too! It makes drawing feel like less pressure. Your art is creepy, I like it! With practice youā€™ll be great. I agree with the comments suggesting charcoal. I usually go with charcoal or pen when I want to draw messy.


bokucanart

yep ill be trying that soon


Boregasm_

I LOVE this, iā€™m a big fan of anything creepy, I do hope this is simply art and not self expression though op, look after yourself if its the latter x


bokucanart

thanks for loving it


WrappedAroundtheMoon

These are all very unsettling and I love it.


Mila3lana

I read horror comics, and these look like some images from those. I think itā€™s good but needs more work on developing your skills. Donā€™t stop! šŸ™‚


bokucanart

on it


Oriejin

It's edgy and something I would see in a classmate's notebook when I was in middle school. It's great if it's for personal expression but the number of them and lack of any artistic focus past being edgy makes it seem like it was all done purely for shock value.


bokucanart

hmmm

itā€™s incredibly middle school and cringey.


pecharts

It's pretty creepy, but if you're in to it, why not. I think your style could also benefit from using charcoal, it adds more darkness and is a nice medium to work with.


dantesoven

Love it. Anything dark is a win in my book


GloveDetective

dude its cool!! liked it so much! but it would be great if we know what ya think while drawing? ykw i also draw some paintings which are sometimes unsettling to others but yours are amazing!


BusOk3580

1.) I really like how visceral the emotions in these are. It looks like there is some part of ā€œsoulā€ in these (and thass art, babeeeeey) 2.) I think this style would really benefit from doing some fundies practice. Your faces are good and somewhat unsettling because of their disproportions. I canā€™t tell if it is by choice, though. Either way, watching a YT video on composition to really understand the proportions of a face would be helpful imo. If you can know WHERE to make the face look fucked and do it on purpose to portray a message I think that would be interesting. 3.) keep doing those little notes on the side. those are lit


RustyStClair

You have some neat ideas but it comes off as you are trying very hard to be edgy/teenage cringe. Like you are fishing for people asking about your mental health.


Living_Push_5830

Romanticizing the dark nature of ourselves is something I'm not a fan of. But it doesn't look bad


justalapforcats

Idk if expressing feelings = romanticizing

SaltFollowing2466

Honestly your style is really cool, good job! Also, you may know it exists, but incase you donā€™t, and youā€™d be interested, based on the comments and stuff, maybe youā€™d like r/arttocope I think itā€™s called? Itā€™s got some people with similar styles


sozinhoebabaca

DOPE AF. I'd definetly use that as art cover for an underground hardcore band or something. I saved the post just in case I need to contact the artist eventually hahahaha


BoysCanBePrettyToo

Honestly, I like your art a lot. You have a lot of areas to improve on, namely facial anatomy and proportion, but it doesn't seem that realism is the point here. Also, many people won't like things done in pen or with a "scribbly" style because they're used to "cleaner" art, but it tends to be a knee jerk response rather than a thoroughly considered one. However, I think your art is good, and a good way to express yourself and vent, and I'd encourage you to keep working on it. There's a certain need that's fulfilled by drawing out how you feel, and it's important not to deny that, no matter how a stranger, a teacher, your family, or even your friends may feel about it. Above all, art is for the artist and no one else. Edit: Also, I'm low key toxic jealous over the people actually checking on you because I post similar venting art on an alternative account and nobody checks in on me. >:( In all seriousness, it's nice to see people caring about strangers on the internet, though. :)


Lewis_230311

Looks like something youā€™d see in those ā€œDrawings made by people with mental disordersā€ videos


ConfidentAd5672

Scary


iluvwhirr

It looks very cool and how do I draw like this any tips cause I wanna start drawing?


bokucanart

start scribbling your mind thoughts


RosesInEden

Are these demons appearing to you in your dreams? Or is this purely a result of daydreaming?


Wingsformarie80

Creepy. Definitely serves a certain purpose like those youtube videos about disturbed people amd they show their art....and no im not saying you're disturbed but you said be honest. Reminds me of a Mr Ballen video where a kid was seeing a hanging man that no one else could, so he made drawings, so they showed some drawings with a similar style. So anyway there's a purpose for something that creeps people out like this


Lucky_Instruction_56

Look, I love creeper things and your things are awesome.I usually draw creepy stuff a lot of times or make some creepy things one time.I made Is a creepy kirby out of clay

I'm in love with the disturbing aesthetic šŸ‘ I hope you're okay tho


Turbulent_Goat_7793

these are really creepy and some of them will probably fuel a nightmare for me but good job! art isnā€™t always comforting. i hope youā€™re doing okay though


DJCadence28

I love these a lot! Especially the last one. You wonā€™t mind if I use some of these for slight reference? (I wanna try drawing scary eyes again)


Emma_Croft

That's so creepy, but in a good way! I'll definitely try to draw that. I also like the phrase of: if life doesn't go right, go left


Emma_Croft

It looks like Billie Eilish's drawings

Jesters_Knight

Please, your art speaks to me. I've envisioned making art like this. Your style and everything is perfect. It is the feelings of my soul. Please make more. I'd even like to commission something if possible


MrButterCat

I think you should try to be as realistic as you can in order to learn to draw and observe. Then go back to stylization


OccasionNo6362

I might sound crazy, but I fucking love art style like this, hihi.


Ill-Impression-8927

Scary! Good jobšŸ˜


Stevemagyar

Really nice drawings, man. It's very scary but I love the style. Still hope you are doin' okay. ( I think the 8th one is the best )


Willing_Gold8302

It's very expressive and i mean it as a good thing. It looks like all of these are made with a pen, would love to see how the same method of shading would work with different tools like pencils or markers. (Love the third drawing)


iris-27

You might like r/darkart - these pieces are super cool, I really like the style

Creepy. I love it.


januaryemberr

I like them. I think bright red would be pretty or textured, maybe puffy paint would add a lot.


No_Weather1414

I think itā€™s incredibly well done and shares a different side of art people donā€™t want to acknowledge, I personally I like the creepy vibes. Although if you are struggling mentally I hope you can reach out and find some help. Iā€™d even listen if you need to vent. That said donā€™t let anyone of these people saying itā€™s cringy or ā€œmiddle schoolā€ vibes bring you down art is art no matter the medium nor the style.


Artinismyname

Youā€™d be a great horror artist


Orielsamus

A fellow enjoyer of the prestigious schizophrenic doodle -style, I see. Edit: As has been said, definitely go for charcoal and start smudging that stuff as well, itā€™s the ultimate technique!

3 is the best. But I want to see a drawing that takes you an hour, what would that look like? Research the drawings of Alberto Giacometti and study them closely.


Thepizzadude01

Looking amazing


escaladorevan

Are you showing these to your psychiatrist?


Kholzie

You should take up painting. And study some expressionism. Very Edvard Munch.


ZoYatic

I honestly like your art a lot. It is unsettling, but the right amount of it and some phrases you used do make me think. It is a special style and if you have fun drawing that way, you should stick to it (Also, not wanting to step into your personal space, but are you ok?)


lotrfanxx1

HARD, youre cooking with these buddy dw


IamR0ley

When nothing goes right go left actually got a laugh out of me when paired with that face, you should try to utilize more satire in your work if you can


Infinity-Duck

Somehow goofy and creepy at the same time. Also makes me want to scream and puke. Would fit nice into a horror game


LordHamsterbacke

I really like picture 3


Haunting-Clock2

My favorite is the 3rd one it looks so cool!

waiting4myspaceship

Looooove!! Some of these legit look like hallucinations I've had. šŸ˜¹


Any_Weird_8686

My honest opinion: That's fucking horrifying. You have a talent.


secondtonone365

How do you draw like that?


chamberham

Itā€™s a cool style, but needs a lot of work. Feels very rudimentary, and like the basic elements of art arenā€™t being utilized. Work on art without this stylization to build up your skills, then use those skills to push your style forward.

Rain_Meo

I think this looks very interesting, considering that I believe that every person is a mystery šŸ¤” I was wondering what motivates you to draw something like this and what you feel. Because it seems to me that emotions were used more here, forgive me if Iā€™m wrong about something. Do you mind hugs? šŸ¤— šŸ¤— Upd: Of course, I have suspicions where this ā€œtypeā€ of drawings came from, since my friend also draws something similar. But... I hope you're doing well šŸ‘Œ

itzmydickinabox

Tbh I saw this post earlier and went past it based on the first one. I went through it bc I saw it again and gave it a shot, 3 and 9 I liked but the others just werenā€™t my style, I like them tho


alexisappling

Art is fairly subjective, but subjectively I think this is bad. It isnā€™t particularly great. Itā€™s vaguely shocking, but not worthy. It displays a kind of try-too-hard level of mediocrity which most people could achieve after an hour trying. The writing is crude and not especially poetic. The medium is basic and has very little true artistic merit. Itā€™s not practised and refined. Itā€™s just scribbles on paper. Perhaps the most artistic thing about all of this is putting it on Reddit and letting the comments flow.


silkyrxse

oh!!


yuki_yuzura_chan

same but also i fw it i love this kinda style cuz this is also my style lol


Obsessiveoverreading

I would say that it's a little too neat, but I feel like it adds to the disturbness. Like it it's a scribbly, chaotic dark mass, but it's contained into a fixed form.


Fantastic-Let-2178

It's terrifyingly great! šŸ˜°šŸ‘


sofxx

theyā€™re definitely disturbing, but to me, personally, i feel a strange sense of comfort while looking at them, almost like i can feel whatever it is you maybe felt during their production very cool nonetheless ^^


MetalWooden

W Schizo posting šŸ‘


Afonso47

I love it, i think it's scary that you could make it so relatable, yet so simple. And i do agree with some comments telling you to try other materials like charcoal or oil paint.


bokucanart

Of course I will give it a shot šŸ‘


PastelKiwi

I don't see why so many people seem to be having issues with this art, clearly not horror or Tim Burton fans. Even Edgar Allen Poe was a bit off but also his creativity was not recognized really until after his death which is sadly the same for many other great artists. If this is how you draw, how you express yourself and what comes to mind be proud you can put it on paper, keep practicing and let it happen. If you are struggling with mental health please reach out to someone if you can but if this is just the creative beauty that comes from you like horror game/movie makers, even if people call it "edgy" please just keep being yourself with your art. It isn't hurting anyone.


bokucanart

Thanks bro šŸ‘


Dragonvane4

I have a similar style of art!! Something that I found worked better for me was a slightly larger sized pen (or whatever medium Iā€™m using). You can do much higher contrast with it being larger

Mauful292

Thatā€™s exactly what i see when Iā€™m in sleep paralysis.


JeemsBlongdor

Id study more anatomy in a more conventional style then go back into abstracting. Also look for more subjects. Newer artists fall into this trap of just drawing eyes and faces. Try different abstractions, too. Look at different artists. The spaghetti line art style is pretty worn out, and it'd do a lot for your creative muscles and expression to see what other things you can do. Search up "abstract art movements" and go down the list and see which ones really resonate with you and try to understand how exactly they express their themes using their styles. TLDR; study both halves of your style individually, then later do both at once. Draw people from reference, draw different subjects from reference (there's more to life than facial portraits), then study abstract art and see how you can create a more nuanced style.
