This was the most difficult! Just drawing without any control! Apparently I am a bit more controlling and perfectionistic than I thought, so these were very good exercises for me to let go and relax. Thank you :)

The standing piece was very difficult for me. I didn't know what I was doing and thought too much. I can see that my mind was running around compared to the later drawings. But it was also quiet, and that's usually when my anxiety has free roam, so...yeah. Standing drawing brought to you by the letter B.

I had a lot more fun with drawing while listening to music. It really settled the anxiety part. For the songs that I know, I did feel like I had more control because I knew what to expect.

Now, for music, I did not know I just chose a random playlist on Spotify, and I did not realize that it was for comedy music and Danish humour gets a bit out there. It's very funny to look at the drawing and think of what parts of the song I had gotten to.

Remoulade, (I can't remember the artist)

After I got more comfortable with letting go, it was definitely more fun :)
