Despite her name, CherryBomb always ends up being sweet.

Sorry for the lack of activity. I've had a recent lapse with my depression that I usually manage very well. It was sort of a collapse after the stress of nursing school as it caught up to me finally now that I'm more...still. I basically took care of my small children and otherwise didn't get out of bed for several days. (kinda pissed at myself now because I didn't wash my face or hair and now I have a bad breakout).

To put on top of it, I felt just defeated and nothing I drew I was happy about. On this, I at least liked the face. But seriously, I've sketched like two dozen things and nothing else really sparked.

And I wanted to try some things with hair. It isn't where I want it to be. I really have to find some inspiration on that. I just don't find the high detail I usually use to be aesthetic and i want something more...manga? I dunno. Experiment and practice, I suppose.

When I drew this, she was going to be reaching for a tray of drinks on a high bar, but I ran out of paper and I figured I would finish the sketch digital, but then decided meh. Just wanted to draw something not too serious to let off some steam.

And I know that maybe a few people go through my gallery may wonder why I give my pictures soft sweet smiles seemingly all the time. What I draw greatly affects my mood and while I sketch other emotions, I just feel like I torture myself working on a negative expression. In other words, I'm trying to cheer myself up...like constantly. Yeah, it might be time to go back on medication.
