Hive Arte || Dibujar líneas como terapia contra el estrés y la ansiedad.

Blessed day dear friends of Hive. This is my first publication in this community dedicated to art. I must say that I admire and like almost all artistic expressions, however, I am not an artist, but rather a craftswoman. My passion is crochet and the different techniques of knitting. However, I have always had an inclination for the plastic arts; I really like watercolor painting. In fact, a few years ago I tried to do floral art with watercolor, but I abandoned my goal due to lack of time to attend my classes.

In this last month I have been very interested in a very nice trend that I have seen in some social networks and that is precisely what I want to share with you in this post.

For a few months now I have been watching videos of a girl who shows a type of art that consists of creating compositions formed by different types of lines that can be presented in black and white or in various colors. The girl in the video recommends this activity as a relaxing therapy to combat stress and anxiety. Actually, I found the activity very interesting and without hesitation, I wanted to try it. So I bought several colored markers and started my adventure in the world of lines.

At first I tried to be guided by patterns I found on the web, but instead of relaxing me it caused me much more stress to see that I wasn't doing it exactly the same as the original design. Then I realized that it's all about relaxing and letting our creativity and imagination run wild as our fingers take control of the pencils and draw all kinds of lines.

To feel much more comfortable, before I started drawing, I searched for information regarding the different types of lines that can be used to make these drawings. I was able to watch some short videos and take many ideas for reference.

I must confess that at the beginning it was very hard for me to draw lines without any sense and to let go a little bit of control, but after several doodles I started to feel more relaxed and creative.

My first attempts were made with black pens, but the lines do not flow as well as with markers. This is my first color drawing and I must say that I loved the experience and the final result. I am fascinated with this technique so I am sure this will be the first of many drawings that I will be sharing with you in this community. Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.
