I Finished This A While Ago And Never Got Around To Posting It Until Now, My Bad Lol

i finished this a while ago and never got around to posting it until now, my bad lol

i'm really happy with the way this one turned out!! the anatomy is a little scuffed in some places, and there's some other technical bits that are incorrect, but it just has a vibe 🤌 y'know? bgsdgdgn

this was my description i used in my college application portfolio, thought id share it!

This drawing, like many others, was one of those images that wouldn't leave my mind. A painter, sitting distraught in front of an empty canvas. The struggle of creation is an idea that intrigues me to no end, mostly because it's a struggle I deal with daily, but also because I find it extremely vulnerable. There is nothing closer to a person's expression of their soul than the art they make. And like in my piece "artist's glare," (this is what I titled that blue period drawing of yatora from a while back) the focus is not on the artwork itself, but on the artist as they make it.

This illustration is also autobiographical, I myself am not a painter, but after a night of spiraling through who I wanted to be as an artist and what kind of art I wanted to create, I finally caved and drew what I was feeling. After working on it for a while I took a step back and realized that I felt healed. This was the kind of art I wanted to make, art that could heal, art that could express myself.

the existence of "maybe", "perhaps", "perchance", and "mayhaps" suggests there should also be "maychance" and "perbe"

I wrote this haiku just looking around my room.

I used Picsart for the first time with this one, and was so intrigued by the eerie nature of this head-less figure that emerged from the haiku prompt, paired with the joyful nature of everything around it.
