Artist's Comments

This drawing was a long time project. I wish I had finished it much sooner as it's quite special to me. I started it September 06. It reminds me of a time where I was carefree, that little glimpse of happiness I felt in 2006, which sadly was way too short. I made it while having my sweet friend Helena, from Germany for a visit. It was a time filled with joy and I was in love with a great guy. This drawing stands for this feeling of being free and happy. Not to say I am not alright now, cause I am, my life has just been too dramatic the past 1,5 year. But I am finally getting peace and feeling happy again.

It's based on a photo; [link] but I changed it completely as I only wished to use the position of the girl not her looks. Some say it looks like Kristik Kreuk, I might have done that unconsciously as I did draw her quite a bit at the time + I find her adorable. Also it's one of the fist drawings using green. It's always been an awful colour to me but I am starting to really like it as you've probably noticed in my latest work. It adds something really calming and natural to a drawing, depending on the idea and motive of course.

Overall I feel satisfied with this drawing, it learned a lot through the process.
This drawing is dedicated it to my girl, Helena. I miss you <3

Made with colour pencils.
40x30cm | 16x12”.

I'm not insane, my mind just tells me that I am but I dont believe it because I told myself that I wasn't insane and I believed me.

The problem with immediate gratification is that it takes too long.

You know Zindy, if this was digital, I would find it nice but nothing special...

But because you drew this, I find it extraordinary. :)

I love it - as usual - but I especially like her pose and this slightly asian touch to her face ... (Gives her a REALLY cute look ^^)
