What do you do on Saturday and Sunday? Do you have fun with your family and friends? This is my first time posting for creative sudday. This weekend, I tried to color a sketch. Coincidentally, a few months ago, my friend sent me this sketch. So that I can focus more on living my life and divert my negative thoughts.
I started doing this. Starting from 10 am, after I finished reading the book, I started coloring this sketch.This time the sketch theme is the sea Many colors need to be detailed. For example, some sketches only have a small space. And I am a person who is not very detailed. After a long time, this is my first coloring activity.

What are the materials and used? Of course I sketch From this sketch there are a number of instructions that I need to read. Starting from instructions for using color at several points. Oh yes, this sketch is equipped with a pencil. I don't need to add other colors. Just use the color or marker that is already available.
In the past, I have colored this sketch. A long time ago, when I was in elementary school. After that, I never had to deal with things like this again. Coloring, drawing and melkis are things I avoid. Why because the work I make is always bad when compared to other people. So, I choose other arts.

This time, I color is one of the types of therapy that I need to do. This is to restore my mind that is always moving and thinking non-stop. Although, the results are still not neat. I was helped by a number of instructions in the sketch. Starting from what colors to use. This helps me to make the colors neater and more beautiful.
It turns out, after it's done, the results are not too bad. Although, I color it still not so neat. Is this considered art? Let me know if this is not art. This is one of my efforts to help my mind stay connected to the present. Helping my mind not to think about the past anymore and worry about the future. That's all I can do this weekend. See you again
