Withdraw

In moments when the world feels too much,
I retreat from everyone’s touch.
No calls, no texts, no words to say,
I seek solitude to find my way.

I withdraw to my quiet space,
Where I can find my peaceful place.
Alone in my room, away from the crowd,
I recharge my soul, and think aloud.

So if I don’t answer, please understand,
I just need time to lend a helping hand.
It’s not about you, it’s about me,
Finding my balance, to once again be free.

Out of Place

M.A.D. Works

In a world where I often feel out of place,
A constant struggle, a never-ending chase.
Surrounded by faces, yet feeling alone,
Yearning for somewhere that feels like home.

Players racing across the field
Fans cheering, hearts pounding

Three Things Challenge #M839

CLUMSY
FALL
DIVE

Clive was a clumsy fool
but he didn’t pay it no mind
Day in and day out he would fall and dive
Out of people’s ways
But every time he would say
At least I stuck my landing

Ghost – Artwork

M.A.D. Works

In October 2020, I went on a Halloween draw marathon, where this little diddy came in. I discovered this amazing experience on the YouTube channel Draw So Cute, and I fell in love with its charming tutorials and whimsical characters. The creator’s clear instructions made it easy to follow along, and I was completely absorbed in the process. After carefully following her directions, this is how mine turned out, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the final product. I love this one from start to finish; every detail adds to the overall joy it brings me.

Yoshi- Artwork

M.A.D. Works
20241007_0708134514462623373151995

Yoshi is my all-time favorite character, so I had to draw him. When I started, I thought it would be difficult, but it looked really good, much better than I initially anticipated. I spent considerable time perfecting the details, capturing Yoshi’s playful spirit and vibrant colors. The only negative I would have to say about this experience is that I need to work on drawing hands and feet more effectively, as they often pose a challenge in my artwork. However, I do have to say that this is the best I have ever drawn hands and feet, and I’m proud of my progress in that area. So, it is a win-win; not only did I enjoy the creative process, but I also improved my skills along the way.

Favorite Hobby

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

I feel like I have already answered this one, but I will go ahead and answer it again. My all-time favorite hobby is to create art. It can be by drawing, collage, painting, or artistic expression. I find joy and fulfillment in bringing my imagination to life through art. Whether it’s a detailed sketch, a vibrant painting, or a mixed media creation, creating art allows me to explore my creativity and express myself in unique and meaningful ways.

Haunted House

M.A.D. Works

It has been a while since I posted my art and/or drawings, and I am going to try to do more of them going forward. I drew this haunted house in 2021. I really enjoyed working on the intricate details of the house, like the crooked windows and the spooky ghost. Capturing the eerie atmosphere of a haunted house was a fun challenge.
