I love this!!! Such expression and detail!!! Another favorite…
yeah, the sadness and awkwardness shines through..very expressive, beautiful artwork :)
This is a wonderful drawing, and i love the detail on the cliff. Also the small bits of dirt being brushed off by her hand is a nice little touch… I like details like that :-)
There is a lot of feeling in this image, it says so much and is easy to relate to. I know there have been times in the past where i’ve felt that sense of sadness, feeling rejected and different from everyone else because of how society is so often unfair and so rarely accepting. I feel for this girl…. and i think she is unique and beautiful. Bless her.
She’s cool.
A very solemn picture. Well done for making us all cry.
