Introducing loficrafty

So this is logi crafty this little thing took about 18 hours and 50 minutes to make over a pireod of a month and a half because of work, medical reason and other things happening in my life

This was inspired by Lofi girl and Lofi boy because I saw Lofi girl wrighting and it gave me craftycorn vibes

@qibsichan help me making this little goober because I don’t know how to do lighting and help me figure out how to do things correctly because even though I use Ibispaint I’m still learning how to use it because I’m not big brained

Here some behind the sceans work of this work there is small changes you can pick out and tumbler won’t let me post pass 10 pics to show the rest of it but thanks to @qibsichan again for helping and teaching me though ibispaint to make this good

Hello my dudes,

I normally do not post my art here on tumblr, but I thought I could show this to y'all too!

I worked on this comic the last few days/weeks because I fell into a very deep episode of depression, anxiety, self harm AAAAND much more but it’s getting better and I am trying to make baby steps to start doing everything normally again.

It’s just, everything feels so weird and stuff and I don’t wanna talk about anything buuuuuut yeah talking about stuff like that is good!

If you have any depressive feelings please talk with your friends, parents and doctors about it. It makes stuff a lot easier! Trust me.

But make sure that you’re friends, family... can cope with it!

This comic was a bit of a release of feelings for me, like the smaller dude in the comic I just want to be hugged like 24/7... someone just making me feel like I’m safe, i‘m okay and don’t have to be anxious about anything.

I hope u like this comic and PLEASE watch after yourself and give yourself some love! U deserved it!

Man to all artists out there, you don't have to draw every day. I remember when I drew every day, it was painful and I always made myself feel terrible about my drawings. I was slowly getting better but when I didn't draw every day, I got better at drawing faster. The moral of the story try not to beat yourself up, I it will happen matter what, but all you can do is try.÷>

Okay, here's a rainbow compass. I've made a lot of progress on my self-esteem. I think maybe now I will start working on my sense of gratitude. Today, I am thankful for my delicious cup of coffee.

Happy midnight! Today is a new day, and the start of a new era. Today I draw for you the sacred Triforce. Daily Affirmation: My name is Blue, and my past does not define me.

Okay, I need to get back to my art therapy. It is important to have a purpose in life. Daily Affirmation: My name is Blue, and I can be happy if I try.

Okay, I can take photographs and do tracings of them.

I lost my job. Affirmation of the Day: My name is Blue, and my existence has value.

Affirmation of the Day: My name is Blue, and I have a nice smile.

Affirmation of the Day: My name is Blue, and I am a nice person.

∅ Hi, I'm Blue! ∅ Here are some hearts and diamonds for my new Tumblr friends :)

Self-love is important. I am a good person and I deserve to be loved and respected.

∅ Bonus post! ∅ I decided to put this back up, with a slight modification. Isn't it interesting that the pentagram symbol means something different, depending on whether it points up or down? I should not censor myself. I am Blue, and my mind is free!

∅ Hi, Blue here. ∅ I made an attempt at drawing something useful today. This is my version of the agender gender symbol. I like the use of the empty set sign from math to represent my agender identity. I wanted the image to print on a couple of t-shirts. So that's my image for today.

I don't feel like I have a particular gender, and that is totally valid!

∅ Hi, Blue here. ∅ I deleted number 6, and made a new version. This is number 8, not counting the deleted one. I am a real star!

∅ Behold, the artistic genius of Blue! ∅ I have truly captured the essence of architecture in this glorious image. Magnificent!

∅ Hi, I'm Blue! ∅ Money! I'm so rich in spirit!

∅ Hi, I'm Blue! ∅ I drew my first self-portrait! Don't I look fabulous?

∅ Hi, I'm Blue! ∅ I put the letters on the side this time. I'm so talented!

∅ Hello, I'm Blue! ∅ I put the letters in different quadrants this time. I'm so clever!

∅ Hi, I'm Blue! ∅ I put the letters in quadrants this time. I'm so smart!

∅ Hi, my name is Blue! ∅ I drew my first Blue! Aren't you proud of me?

Watercolors🖌

Used watercolors after so long! I messed up a bit in the end! 😅

Leo The Artist - barbershop . . . This piece is another product of the same collaboration. Thought it was good enough with the pattern overlaid on it. Really gets at what barbershop and salons mean to people, especially black people. The barber's chair is our version of a psychotherapist reclining chair; the barber is the psychotherapist who most of the time allows us to come to our own conclusions about the things that come up as psychologist are said to do. The stillness that barbershop demand as we wait to get our haircut, and as we sit getting our hair cut, forces the issues of life to the back so we can meditate and reflect - as you can see in the face of the kid in the piece above. The pattern overlaid represents the free thoughts roaming both inside and around everyone in the barbershop. Mind you, all of this came to me when I was working on the piece. It's pretty beautiful if you think about it. Stay up and stay peaceful!

howwww do you make art without overthinking. idk what it means to just “let it flow out of you” and idk how to stop the analyzing part of my mind from taking over the second i start to make something
