Your art is intriguing and beautifully rendered. Each piece makes me think, in some cases about the technique used to create the piece and in other cases about what the meaning of the piece is.
I keeping getting drawn back to the angel drawing. I find myself wondering what she is searching for. Also, I wonder why her wings are so small and what that means to her.
@rogueone thank you. Also I forgot to say it before but congrats on new mod.
@Moonbeam the angel piece when done will have a shattered halo. The pieces are on the ground which is what shes looking at. I’ll also make her crying. This piece is a way for me to represent a loss of innocence and childhood. The original event that caused my PTSD happened in 5th grade. Chaos ensued after. Because of the PTSD I cant really remember anything from the beginning of my life until about halfway through 10th grade. I’m a senior now and lament at the chunk of time that I’m missing. Due to everything that happened after the event and my symptoms and such I wasnt able to be normal and any normal experiences I could have had were ripped away from me. 11th grade was when I could finally live and do things. Then this year hit and that went away cause of Covid but it is what it is. That’s why I’ve put so much time into that one. It’s a highly emotional piece for me
Thanks for sharing what the angel means to you @NeoPolitan02 
Yeah no problem. Not many people actually ask me what my art means so it’s nice to talk about it sometimes. So really I should be saying thank you for letting me ramble about it.
I love the angel the best.
I like especially the wanted toy one too. and the angel one is cute.
@PinCushion I’m glad you like it. I’ll have to share it again once its finished.
@anon90843118 the wanted toy one was also fun to do. I actually drew that one when I first started dating my boyfriend. Super cheesy I know.
Great work !
I love the jewels!
Thank you. I did much better on the emerald then the ruby but to be fair I had a wider selection of green pencils then red pencils. Which made blending greens to get the right color easier.
I only yesterday spent more than 2 hrs on one bit of work, for the first time , it’s a learning curve.
Hard to accept that you need 100 % concentration for a long time,
It is for me anyway
Often times I dont do a piece in one go. At least not these ones. I’ll take and do parts of it at a time if I’m more concentrated then I do more. If I’m distracted then I won’t work on it as much.
It’s a good thing that the expectation of not finishing it straight away gives you much more time to make it perfect
Yes, and I know that if I work on it too much at a time I’ll get frustrated because I’m a perfectionist and I’ll sit there going it’s not right, so for my sanity I need breaks.
