Mental Health Illustrations
Mental health (social media)
A Valentine's Day illustration series about the kind of love that actually takes work — sharing fears, setting boundaries, apologizing and meaning it, resting without guilt. Eight illustrations built around a single repeating phrase, each one exploring a different aspect of honest, caring relationships.
The looseness of the lines makes the figures feel vulnerable, which matches exactly what the text is asking people to do — be vulnerable with each other.
The simplicity of the figures also makes them universal. They don't have a gender, age, or specific appearance, so anyone can see themselves in them.
And the single red accent — used only for the key word in each phrase and the heart — creates a quiet visual rhythm across the series. It tells you where to look without being loud about it.
