Drawing for my self-esteem: Phoenix bird with markers [ENG-ESP]

(Edited)

Hello everyone! Today I bring my creative Sunday with a drawing I made of a phoenix. I'm gonna tell you the story of why this drawing.

I recently started going to therapy for my anxiety. One of the things to work on for me, also, is my own self-esteem, which has been a bit crushed lately. In addition, the fact that I am also being disproportionately punished.(in my opinion) here at Hive, for something that I did not even do intentionally and that I think it can be differentiated very well who does it with malice and who does it out of ignorance; this fact also contributed to my self-esteem to go down a little bit more.

So my psychologist recommended me a few days ago to make a drawing of whatever I wanted, but in it I should write my qualities, and with the help of them I should remember all the achievements I have made in my life. So that every day I can look at the drawing and remind myself of the good in me.

She told me that most of his patients she tells them to draw a tree, and write this on the roots or branches of the tree. But in my case, since she knows I like to draw, she gave me the freedom to choose. So I decided to draw a phoenix, because of the meaning it has in mythology and that I think I identify quite a lot with this fantastic animal, because I'm also trying to rise from my own ashes.

¡Hola a todos! Hoy traigo mi domingo creativo con un dibujo que he realizado de un ave fénix. Os contaré la historia del por qué de este dibujo.

Hace poco empecé a ir a terapia por mi ansiedad. Una de las cosas a trabajar para mí, también es mi propia autoestima, que ha sido un poco machacada últimamente. Además, que me estén poniendo también un castigo desmesurado (en mi opinión) aquí en Hive, por algo que no hice ni intencionadamente y que además creo que puede diferenciarse muy bien quién lo hace con maldad y quién lo hace por desconocimiento; pues este hecho también contribuyó a que mi autoestima bajase un poquito más todavía.

Así que mi psicóloga me recomendó hace días que hiciese un dibujo de lo que quisiera, pero en él escribiera mis cualidades, y con ayuda de ellas recordase todos los logros que he conseguido en mi vida. Para así, cada día pueda ver el dibujo y recordarme a mí misma lo bueno que hay en mí.

Me dijo que a la mayoría de sus pacientes les dice que dibujen un árbol, y escriban esto en las raíces o ramas del árbol. Pero en mi caso, como sabe que me gusta dibujar, me dio la libertad de escoger. Así que decidí dibujar un ave fénix, por el significado que tiene en la mitología y porque creo que me identifico bastante con este animal, ya que estoy intentando también resurgir de mis propias cenizas.

I thought I still had a canvas at home so I could paint on it, but I didn't. So, since I didn't feel like buying one, I used the cardboard cover of a ring notebook. I painted it white with acrylic paint and a brush, and when it dried I started to draw the bird with a pencil.
This was going to be my first drawing with markers.

Pensaba que tenía un lienzo todavía en casa para poder pintar sobre él, pero no era así. Así que como no me apetecía ir a comprar uno, lo que he hecho ha sido utilizar el cartón de la tapa de una libreta de anillas. Lo he pintado de blanco con pintura acrílica y un pincel, y al secarse he empezado a dibujar al ave con ayuda de un lápiz.
Este iba a ser mi primer dibujo con rotuladores.

I started adding the color, shading and combining with the light yellow and honey yellow.

Empecé a añadir el color, sombreando y combinando con el amarillo clarito y el amarillo color miel..

When I finished the drawing, I continued adding details and also went over the phoenix with gold color around it.

Cuando finalicé el dibujo, continué añadiendo detalles y también repasé al fénix con color dorado alrededor.

Y por último, en las alas y en la cola fui escribiendo mis cualidades: Sincera, generosa, valiente, resiliente...

And finally, on the wings and tail I wrote my qualities: Sincere, generous, courageous, resilient....

Thank you very much for praising my drawing! I will see her on Wednesday to see what she says lol. But the important thing was to do something to highlight my qualities and remind me of them every day! Many times bad things happen in life or someone treats you badly or unfairly. But if you have a strong self-esteem, it doesn't have to affect you. 😊
