A 5 Minute Me. – day 17.

by be.

DAY SEVENTEEN RESULTS:

Face Shape: Bang on.

Eyes: Eerily revealing and indicative of what was going on while I was drawing this. The face that I didn’t draw the left eye adds to the drawing.

Nose: Not the best execution, but still very much a good depiction of my nose.

Mouth: Could use more detail, but is still a good representation of what my mouth actually looks like.

Details: The method I used to tackle this 5 Minute Me was based on attacking the shadows first, and to my partial surprise it worked out eerily well for the mood I was in during this illustration. The details of the rest of the drawing aren’t exceptional, but the detail in the look in my eye is what does it for this 5 Minute Me.

Final Thoughts: This, all around, is my favorite, most honest, most heartfelt 5 Minute Me. It was hard getting through the written portion.

DAY SEVENTEEN PIECE:
Oh Dear Anxiety. (written in 4mins 48secs)

Oh Dear Anxiety.
thank you.

thank you for doing this to me.

for making me afraid

to leave the house.

afraid to see my
friends

get a job

and live like a

regular person.

thank you for
debilitating me to a

person without choice

and making me want to be

right back in the hospital
they swore I belonged in.

thank you for
ruining

my weekend,

damaging my meetings

and helping me lose
that job,

never get that other job,

not make it through

that interview,
and that one too.

thank you

for helping me never

take that acting role,

never leave my house
without

a hat,

and helping me

cry on this

fucking
page

so that I can’t

write out

how much I
mean,

fuck you.

you’ve helped
me ruin
my
own life.
and i hate
you for
it.

be.
