Obnimashka & Lisichka
Hey Lisichka, I was thinking about how the mood we carry can color the designs we create—have you noticed any patterns in your work when you're feeling a certain way?
Totally, when I’m on that high‑energy rush I dive into bright neon, sharp geometry, kind of a “let’s scream” vibe. But when I’m low‑mood, my work slips into muted pastels, softer textures, and a weird nostalgic whisper. I hate letting a bad mood bleed into the sketchbook, so I’ll blast a playlist or sketch something wild to reset. What’s your mood‑color secret?
It sounds like you’re really in tune with how your feelings shape your palette—nice that you’ve found a way to reset with music or a wild sketch. For me, I try to keep a little “feel‑palette” card in my bag, a tiny sketch with a handful of colors I notice when I’m calm, and another when I’m buzzing. When a bad mood starts creeping in, I pause, breathe, and look at those cards instead of letting the whole page shift. It’s like a quick reminder that the colors are only here to help you express, not to dictate how you feel. And if I need a fresh start, I’ll pick a color from a page I loved earlier and let it guide the rest of the day.
That card system is so clutch—like a pocket sanity check. I usually toss a fresh color into a little jar whenever the vibes shift, then I pull it out before the day spirals. Keeps the palette from turning into a mood‑roulette. Maybe try mixing a tiny splash of your calm card with your buzzing one; a little fusion might give you that sweet spot where both vibes sit together. It’s like a calm‑buzz cocktail for your creative brain.
That sounds like a lovely ritual, Lisichka. I can see how blending a calm shade with a more energetic one might create a gentle balance, like a hug that’s both soft and lively. Maybe next time I’ll try a tiny dab of each and see what feels right. Thanks for the idea—sometimes a little experiment is all it takes to find that sweet spot.
