Hello folkz, hope we all doing cool, the drawing before us is a drawing i did of a little boy. The look on his face doesn't seem right, it feels like something excruciating going on in his mind, i can't really tell though but its crystal clear, this brings us to my major focus today called DEPRESSION depression is a very bad feeling, it is a state of mind where all you could do is worry over certain things, a state of hopelessness or a state of our inability to visualize a happy future. All this things tend to affect our mental health, no one is above depression even the richest men on earth do get depressed at some point in their lifes, it is something we can deal with. Our mindset is just the key thing, what you feed your mind that's what it process. From this drawing you can see this little kid at a very tender age looking depressed and worried 😟, depression doesn't only affect the elderly it also affects Children. Sometimes they feel they can't confide in anyone because of trust issues, this is why parents should be very close to their kids try to know much about them alot of things goes on in their lifes that they can never tell you, until they feel they can confide in you. Well i am hoping to be a great dad some day and i made that promise in my heart to be close to my kids, when one is depressed all he or she would be thinking at that moment are negative things, i didn't just draw this to show how beautiful my drawings are but to pass a message accross. Always reach out to friends and family, you will never no what they are going through until you ask, the world is full of so many things that could make someone depressed, it's a battle we must learn how to fight if we must move on in life.

Dear @guchidan,
your sketch is so beautiful. Can you teach me please? Or, perhaps you can send some of your talent when you reply to this comment? It looks wonderful!
Thanks dear @nurseanne84 i appreciate your comment, well am a self taught artist it won't be that easy teaching you online, one thing with drawing one has to be determined well am already use to it because i started drawing at the age of 5, but if you have been drawing before and you stopped you can still revive it back if you're determined, one on one teaching would have being the best but it won't be possible for now, i will suggest try and draw something and then hit me up let see how it goes.
that is so wonderful! I was also "self-taught" clay crafter. hehehe well, I will try learning on my own then.
Wow have you posted any on steemit?. Its so cool to hear that though.. Well you can also engage your self, by trying to draw anything that comes to your mind, Youtube also helps although some of their clips are fast, i do have a YouTube channel but am not really into youtube that much but i might produce tutorial clips in the future, drawing is a thing of patience and determination, if you want to learn it well.

This is made of clay- modeling clay- the type that does not harden. There are other works that I have done in the past and, I had given them away as gifts. But this is the only post lately that is made of clay- I did not smoothen some of the detail just to keep up with my whole inspiration.
It so cool, you're very creative with your hands🙌 i tink you should do more of it, you never can tell little children may love it and it coul be used to tell stories to kids, I am impressed thanks for sharing.
no worries. Its what I do especially when I am stressed or bored.I am actually trying to figure out doing home scale business with it....
Homescale business would be cool, just keeping doing you dear, the sky would be our stepping ground.
I think that is so cool that I picked up on the depression through viewing your work, before I red about it. WELL DONE! you really did a great job at bringing this feeling to life through your creation @guchidan. :-D
Thanks so much am glad you understood the whole gist, thanks For your comment

Awesome message, @guchidan.
I have been around depressed people who were too obtuse to accept help, they ended up scaring away all their friends and as far as I know, they're now depressing by themselves.
It's not like they didn't have help. They had plenty of help but shut it down every single time.
In these cases, I honestly don't know what else people can do to help.
what a pity 😐 i feel for those kinda people, this life its not everything you can keep as secret inside of you, one just have to come out of his or her shell, well to me i feel it all balls down to trust, if there was help and they failed to embrace it, it shows that they don't value such help and it could be as a result of pride.
