# drawingwithadhd

is, in many ways, like a blessing and a curse. I only realised recently the ways it’s been detrimental to my learning as an artist over the years but the silver lining of hyperfocus is that you can catch up in good time! ✨

Ohh
For me, means i /have/ to finish a piece as fast as possible,bcs i am impatcient. I rarely or never use refs and usually draw from memory, and when i hyperfocus on art i forget everything around me for hours until my piece is done😅

Tw: blood, nudity
To me is hyperfocusing on a thing, but also not being able to stick to one style or subject. Sometimes you could even ask yourself "is that the same artist?" Yes, it is 😬

Ey my art process is a mess, I have unfinished wips in the double digits cause I can’t stop starting new projects, and I either hyperfocus on drawing for 6+ hours without food/bathroom breaks OR I can only draw for 20 minutes before I get bored✌️✨

OOH we’re talking about

I have a huge collection of unfinished WIPS and sketches, hyperfocus on the same few themes but also cycle through different interests, and can take months to finish one painting (if I finish it at all; I’m working on getting better!) 😅

Guess I'd better jump on this before I get distracted. I am a self-trained cartoonist that struggled with undiagnosed ADHD until my adulthood. I have a passion for animation and someday, I hope to actually FINISH something. Here are some results of Hyperfocus.

lmao these are all kinda old, but that's just bc I start a drawing and then either completely hyperfocus on finishing it or get distracted every ten minutes while sketching there is no in-between
