Self made drawings, writing, art, music, and other forms of self expression created to cope with what gets us down.
We're on Lemmy! https://lemm.ee/c/arttocope
Welcome to arttocope! This is a place for people to share any drawings, pieces of writing, music, and any other forms of expression that they have created in order to cope with what gets them down.
This sub reddit by nature deals with sensitive material. Please be aware of this while browsing!
Please post whatever you like--It's your creation and very personal. We only accept art made by the user who is posting it, do not post other people's works!
We have very few guidelines here, as it seems antithetical to put guidelines on an art forum. But please do not post art created from blood or pictures of blatant self-harm. See discussion here and here
Self posts and link posts both accepted!
We encourage comments and discussion, so please let the artist know if their work had an effect on you!
Some user art is highlighted in these collections:
If you find any offensive, rude or malicious comments please don't hesitate to report them to the moderators. We try our best to moderate this subreddit but some things may be missed without your help. Repeat offenders or trolls will be banned.
We now feature some recommended subreddits here and we always welcome modmail.

Props to arcane for their bumping soundtrack this season
trying to cope with resurfacing memories / flashes of such and it’s been too much
perpetually want to be in bed
I typed a poem based on my experience of being bullied, this one is about a certain person who left me with reoccurring memories of what happened but also how eventually I questioned if it ever happened
Also my older posts seem to have disappeared too :/
I wish if I had someone special to celebrate the new year’s eve with but I’m not meant to have anything good I’m just meant to suffer alone. All these people that I wish were with me that I constantly miss, have already moved on with their lives and are happy without me. I don’t even cross their minds at all.. I’ll never be missed. I never meant anything to anyone. I wish if I could just die soon so the pain in my heart would stop
Old one
I think this counts? No clue, but here yuh go. I cropped the background a bit because it kinda ruins it.
got a rec to post on here, i'm a 14 yo artist and i want to share some of my art that i can't show to ppl in my everyday life for obvious reasons
Grief is a cruel thing.
