Description
This is a sketch of myself that I took a photo of (cause I don't have a scanner) and photoshopped. lol. I had a lot of fun experimenting with the levels, colours and different layer blending modes.This was sort of inspired by the verse,
Phillipians 4:6-7 --- 6Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (New Living Translation)
The splatters and messy feel symbolise life and how hectic and hard it can be sometimes yet she (well... I, actually) has a peaceful expression on her face. Even though you might be going through hard times, you can always find peace in God. If you just focus on Him and not your problems it makes it a lot easier to get through. He always works things out for good!
Drawing: Ball point pen on paper
Manipulation: Adobe Photoshop CS
Splatter Brushes: Made by =smashmethod

Yeah, it's grungey but pastelley..pastell-y, I dunno. I've always liked this combination and theres just a lot of colours too but they're not so different that it just looks like too much.

Very nice. You know, I could swear that I heard that verse somwhere recently...
When did you draw this?
This drawing is the sort of thing I would be taking photos of once I have my camera. Not the drawing, but the expression and such. Spontaneous shots of peoples moods while they think you're not looking are awesome.
Anyway, great stuff!

mmmhmmm. I think it might be my favourite verse!
I just drew it today.
Well, you won't be taking photos of me while I think you're not looking!
Thanks though

It certainly is a good one.
You know this whole thing reminds me of a quote that I think I put into one of my journals... It kind of seems appropriate.
"With our friends, smiles and laughs, they aren't always as genuine as they may appear. Don't always just assume your friends are okay if they are smiling or laughing... Sometimes there may be more going on than meets the eye."
