I Have Avoidant Personality Disorder, And I Make Mixed Media Art

Hi, my name is Sarah, and I have an avoidant personality disorder. That means that as I’m trying to learn mixed media on my own, and I have no one (except my Mom) to view and give feedback on my artistic endeavors. I obsessively watch tutorials on YouTube, but my projects never live up to what I try to imitate, and I’ve realized that’s because I’m finding my style. I need to STOP watching tutorials and do my them on my own, which I think, with some practice, could be great someday too. Please, help me out, tell me what you think. Tell me what makes it look amateur and what I could do to improve. Or, maybe if you like it, tell me you like it? Due to my disorder, I think I’m rambling, so I’ll stop now. I hope you like my works.

The devil is in the details, which unfortunately aren’t captured here by the camera

Again, the detailed color contrast isnt captured well enough by this phone camera

Hi, I guess you can call me Lenka. I have a condition called Avoidant Personality Disorder, which stops me at the gate from socializing and doing things "normal" people do. This whole social media thing is foreign to me. For a couple years I've been striving to become a mixed media artist who's work is MORE than amateur, but, because I don't socialize, I get no feedback on my work, there's no one I can show it to...so, you guys, somewhere out there...tell me what you think? Tell me how I can improve my craftmanship, tell me what you like or dislike...OR, just say you like it? Lol, idk, just giving bored panda a shot. Thnkx guys😆

WOW! These are beautiful! The one with the girl looks like it has a story behind it! Photographer for bands? Member of a band that is too shy so she stays behind camera? Keep going! You are talented! Please post more!

Hi, Lenka. I have the same condition as you, avoidant personality disorder. I draw and I've been trying to find my own style just as you, and been obsessed with perfection. I just wanted to encourage you to keep doing these and to be more confident with your art. The more you do it, the more confident you'll become with what you're doing. You're a creative person and that will be extremely useful when you're feeling down. Keep it up!
