For this next piece I realized I hadn't done a piece based on sadness and agony and felt I needed to express such a powerful emotion in my style.
I printed out multiple copies of the above picture and colored on them until I found a palette I really enjoyed. I felt like the colors needed to be deep and dark to portray the emotion well and the face needed to be colorful and full of sadness. I really like the colors in the tears and the dark blue strokes that emphasize her eyes and creases of her face. I wanted people to see this picture and remember a time they felt such a deep and raw emotion, because although it's sad and painful it's just as real as any other emotion out there.
If I could redo this I'd probably spend more time on the face and touch it up (for the _7th_ time) making sure all the proportions were accurate because I feel like to convey the right emotion they need to be spot on. I'm extremely proud of this piece and going to be showing it at the Hale Art Show~
