Young Artist Creates Comics to Deal With Her Mental Disorder

Planetmclulu is a Switzerland-based artist who suffers from DPDR, a depersonalization/derealisation disorder. The 25-year-old Lulu has been suffering from this illness over three years now, so to deal with her everyday problems, she decided to make comics about DPDR which can be a diagnosis on its own, or be a symptom of another mental disorder like anxiety, dissociative disorders, etc.

“For me, DPDR is a 24/7 thing,” the artist wrote. “For the first year, I suffered in silence and was unable to do anything. People who don’t have this disorder often just don’t understand. So I made these comics for all of you who suffer from it, or maybe feel strange and can’t explain why, and for friends and family members who don’t have it to get a better understanding.”

No breaks for me 😂 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Made this comic with the Huion Kamvas Pro 12 Drawing tablet i got from ! @huioncanada @huiontablet 💕 Thank you so much for sending me this over a while ago. I have been testing this tablet out for quiet a while now and its an aboslut blessing! 🔥About the tablet🔥 The tablet i have has a really nice big screen to directly draw on. The screen itself has kind of a satin finish if you will what i really like. it makes it really smoothe to draw on and i also think the screen doesnt get as dirty as others! the quality is awesome on the screen but what i personally like the most is the pencil! The pencil has good sensitivity so drawing smoother or harder is no problem at all it even has some buttons to navigate. it tooked me a while to get into the buttons on the pencil and even on the tablet itself. but they have been such a big help (specially when you need to get a step back and delet things 😏 if you know what i mean) 😂 i dont have a lot of experience with drawing tablets. this one is my first real drawing tablet ever… so i am not in the position to compare but i think huion is so amazing in quality and price. Perfect for beginners because its not to expensive and pretty cool for professionals ! I always enjoy working on this tablet. As i said in the last reviews there is only one thing missing (personal pref) and its that you cant zoom in directly on the screen with your fingers. But other than that i love it and i will continue drawing with it! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #planetmclulu #draw #drawing #paint #illustrations #illustration #digitalart #art #artist #doodleart #doodle #relationshipgoals #love #totoro #anime #manga #comicartel #comic #comicstrip #comedy #webtoon #buzzfeedcomics #switzerland #letsdrizzle #totoro #studioghibli #noface #digitalart #digitalartwork #love #relationshipgoals #relationship #date
