I think your drawing is remarkable. “just putting some colours” led you to a surprisingly well balanced composition. I like it a lot.

No it’s not so much fear for change. It’s the autistic need for structure. Or at least I’m assuming that’s what it is. I’ve only discovered I have autism last September so I’m still getting used to it. But I have known for years that I can get a small panic attack from something as stuppid as putting my keys in the wrong pocket. That also might have to do with structure.
I would very much like to make a drawing of the sea or a tree that feels like it’s wild, moving. When drawing a tree I must work very hard at not making the two halfs mirror images.
I did succeed. As you said the drawing isn’t structured but it is balanced. Although before you mentioned it I didn’t realize that there is a difference between the two.

But then I began to dable in photography and that all changed. It's tricky at first to draw or paint in color. Here's one of my color less works. All done in technical pen one dot at a time.
