Description
After a very depressing work week... I processed my feelings into this Original Character. Here is a perfect example of focusing on process rather than product to create an illustration that reflects emotions. This is expressive art instead of technical art.Creating expressive art is also a good way to break creative block, because just like in Nior Art...you can take artistic license, which means you know the correct way, and chuck it out the window, because you want your picture to reflect not the rules of art, but instead to reflect your mood.
Tools: .5 mechnical pencil, Copic Sketch Markers (B69, V17, Y18, Y26, E25, E27, E29, E39, C4, C7, and 100 Black)

Man, have I been there.
It's funny this picture seems to change depending on what mood you're in when you see it ...

Ah the desert. A common setting for inner turmoil and self reflection. Nice. Controlling the marker strokes can be therapeutic no?

Like I stated before, in Expressive art, the focus is on "process" rather than "product". Controlling the marker strokes can and can not be therapeutic, depending on the person who uses the mark.
For a person who is compulsive, restrictive or needs to learn how to "just let go"... not having marker control can be useful for that person. While on the other hand, a person who has inability to find or control physical or psychological boundaries...maybe learning how to control the marker would be helpful in that situation.
