Description
Painted over a sketch tonight, and I'm starting to think I should probably start painting in greyscale first because colours and values for this was difficult for me to wrap my head around x.x I'm not the best at knowing 3D space and lighting either so...erm..yeah.....
Long story short, I painted this in colour and nothing felt right so I just desaturated everything and decided it looked a million times better. xD Ahh god if only I hadn't spent the last few hrs debating over colours -_-
Anyway, I was inspired to draw this mainly because it's amazing to me how different we communicate now from ~5 years ago. So many things compete for our attention every day but our phone is what defines many aspects of our lives now; it's what connects us with everyone we know. I feel like this is like a double edged sword - we have so much functionality and info at our fingertips, and we're so connected to the world...and yet there's also always a disconnect that causes us to forget the present moment. I miss having conversations without the interruption of our phones. There is nothing that irritates me more; it's not like people don't already check facebook 10000 times a day! I've not really been a phone person much at all in my life, and maybe I'm just one of those people with major nostalgia (yeah I guess I am) but I don't think I'll ever get it.
