just this emptiness inside.
admittedly, I was a little iffy on using such think outlines since the majority of my work beforehand generally featured semi-transparent pencil lines that blended more into the coloring as opposed to standing out on their own so much- but it's growing on me, a lot, and it makes for some fun experimentation.
thank-you so much; I'm really happy to see that you can draw so much out of my work- that means a lot to me. =)
it creates such a dynamic contrast and really establishes an independent sort of characteristic; the individual is distinct from the surroundings. it reinforces that sort of isolated vibe, too
all i can really say is thank you. these speak emotions i don't often see executed as well or as frequently
yeah, that's pretty much the effect I've been going for; I struggle a lot with clinical depression, amongst other things, and often, one doesn't really feel as though they are a part of anything; always separate from life and its surroundings; alone in a world filled with people.
my art is a form of catharsis; I use it as a means to express myself and deal with the whirlwind inside of my head- the fact that people can relate to these images, funnily enough, helps take away from those feelings of isolation and solitude.
we are in the same boat then, only through a different medium. your expressions are powerful and intention successful, in this regard
this kind of isolation does well for creativity and the articulation of these feelings, i've found, but i think it's good to know you're not truly alone in suffering such things, and that there will be others who understand and appreciate such <3

honestly this is probably one of the most powerful pieces i've seen in a while
i didn't notice the outlines here either but it works so well with this kind of tone oh my goodness
