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:

R/arttocope SWF Gallery

R/arttocope NSWF Gallery

R/arttocope Black & White

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.

It's coming I can feel it

It's coming I can feel it i can feel the desperation the familiar feeling of frustration and apathy you may not see it I don't think anyone can or understand but I can It follows me everywhere the only thing preventing it from coming is the consequence that it fails it knows I know it's the only thing it fears

Snake warning small amount of blood

Walking aimlessly each step making a soft tap against the concrete the puddles on the concrete shimmering gold and silver the sky dark with thick clouds crying knowing what it's about to witness on this horrid night my fingers twiddle with the snake in my pocket I make a left turn the wind howling and crying knowing my fate but their screams fall on deaf ears as I take the snake out knowing it's hungry for my life the snake slowly slithers around my body hugging it tightly its scales scraping against my skin leaving red angry scrapes in it's wake my eyes bloodshot and feeling loose out of their sockets as I look at the empty black sky my ears ringing until the snake finally whisps my agony and tiredness away.
