mental health

A friend of mine put out an all call request on FB for help illustrating emotions for a mental health project she was working on writing. I jumped at this opportunity to explore different ways to show extremes in emotions and how they sometimes feel overwhelming. The writing talks about these feelings and how to cope with them in a self checking sort of way. Here is the series of illustrations done in pen and water colour on paper. The concepts were hers and the visuals are my interpretations. It was a good exercise in creativity and working in water colour. I think we can all relate to feeling these ways sometimes.
