Description Sooo...I don’t know what’s going on in this picture. I drew it at 1:30 in the morning. I was in a drawing slump and wasn’t in that great of a mood because of it. I had tried drawing several other things earlier and none of them I liked, so I was feeling like a failure. So I decided to draw something easy: Becky. Originally I had planned to sketch her giggling or something cute and frivolous. But it turned into this. I don’t know…but I feel like my brain randomly deciding to complete her in this gloomy manner says something. Maybe it’s because I have so much going on right now and I’m trying to cope with it all. Maybe I want something that I just can’t have. Maybe I’m missing him too much again. Maybe my mind is portraying Becky as myself, desperately running through the misty veil of blackness that surrounds her. Perhaps that cloud is artist’s block. It almost looks as if the veil is part of her.

Wow, when did I become so philosophical?

I’m not usually this dark. I try to always look on the bright side of things in life. Maybe this is my inner insecurities showing through. From all my new responsibilities. Or perhaps I’m looking way way way too much into this. That’s always an option.

Anyway, enough of my rant! I’m just glad I could draw something. But now it’s 2 in the morning and I have to read Catching Fire and go to sleep.

(I’ll bet you all are now thinking of your own insecurities. )

Awwww, I definitely know what you mean with feeling that way and drawing something that wasn't what you thought it would be. But I do like this and I don't think there's anything wrong with a less-happy picture, especially if it helps you express yourself and/or cope. But I do like how you colored more darkly around her so she stands out from the background. Like she's not hopelessly entangled in the shadow. And her face is very expressive. You're probably not looking way too much into it - I completely see where you're coming from. Honestly I think it's impressive that you got yourself to draw anything when you were tired and in a slump. 'Cause when I'm like that it's hard even to get myself to TRY to draw, let alone to come up with something that's good!

Yeah, it's pretty cool sometimes because you don't know where you hand is taking you. Thanks, yeah I intended the shadow to look like that. Haha yeah, I was impressed I could draw it too. Since I haven't been drawing much lately, what with my busy schedule, it's like I'm forgetting my techniques. But I've been trying to set aside time for just me and my pencil. And paper. Aww, thanks again! I'm glad someone can feel my emotions through my drawings. It's so cool.

Yeah. I thought maybe you do - it looks great! Oh gosh, I've been feeling the same way myself. Well I hope you find some time! No problem. It's because I know you so much~ Actually your art is just expressive - that's why.
