Sometimes recovery needs some distractions. A good distraction could be an art project. So let's grab a piece of scrap paper and a pen or pencil and do a simple drawing. These drawings are designed for children to follow so I think we should all be able to manage it. Each week I will post a youtube video to follow and each of you do the drawing. It's up to you if you want to share your results with everyone else or not. I am looking forward to getting started. Please find the first video posted below. Also please tag more members to come join in.

Re: Art Club

@Former-Member omg that's happened to me so many times too, wish those pens were smudge-proof!!

In response to: Re: Art Club

Re: Art Club

@Appleblossom poetry and grief thesis sounds really interesting!! it sounds like quite a heavy subject area too, but definitely very meaningful. what sort of music are you working on at the moment? do you play instruments?

Re: Art Club

@rav3n it was only a gel pen so I shouldn't have used it but I couldn't be bothered getting up at the time to get a proper one.

Re: Art Club

ohh i see! @Former-Member there's been times when i've written cards or drawn something in gel pen... and then the things i drew/wrote get imprinted onto my hand and spread onto other parts of the paper 😬 its so hard to be patient with the gel and let it dry fully sometimes!

In response to: Re: Art Club

Re: Art Club

@rav3n i have that problem every night when I use them to colour. Don't know why they can't just dry super fast 😂.

Re: Art Club

ugh i know right!! feels like we need to use gel pens under a fan or something @Former-Member i used to have instant dry gel pens (in black though)... it was not instant enough for me 😅

In response to: Re: Art Club

Re: Art Club

@rav3n even sitting under my aircon they don't dry quick enough 😂. Instant still isn't quick enough, like it's gotta be dry before it hits the paper 😂

In response to: Re: Art Club

Re: Art Club

haha EXACTLY how dare they call that 'instant'!? 😆 @Former-Member guess its the same with instant noodles and stuff, they say 'instant' yet it takes me at least 5 mins to get it ready.

i reckon 'instant-if-you-have-patience' gel pens would be a more accurate label

In response to: Re: Art Club

Re: Art Club

@rav3n false advertising at it's finest 😂.

I totally agree, that label is way more accurate 😂
