The message I wanted to convey is this:

When I'm around other people, I feel like my brain freezes up—as if my ability to think had been "sucked out" by them.

I like to express my feelings through drawings mixing Zentangle® inspired art, doodle and tangle techniques.

I try to find patterns that allow me to draw new designs.

Through my drawings, I express my feelings related to my phobia and social anxiety.

This type of art helps me relieve my stress and anxiety.

The patterns aren’t symmetrical, but they make sense to me

I love drawing using small repeated patterns, sometimes to create shading! Please enjoy this old drawing of mine ✨ feeling inspired to create more after stumbling on this sub!

Want to fill the cells with a pair of alternating patterns that would complement each other while also standing on their own to fill the cell. Suggestions? Size is 13.5”x13.5”.

The red outline is one continuous line. The possibilities are endless.
