Artist's Comments

This drawing is one of my most favourite drawings I have ever done. I started it in the early spring 2006, which is actually really a long time ago now, considering it's now December, but still it feels like it was just yesterday. The drawing is really personal and has to do with a lot of issues I was going through at the time.
One night I was feeling so lonely and sad that I was sitting on my chair wearing the exact clothing as on the drawing, just crying and feeling so lost. I don't know why, but I took a picture of it cause somehow I wanted to remember. In a way it's comfortable looking back at the picture knowing it's in the past, that's things brigtened up eventually.
I used a really long time to make this drawing. Just about every part have taken me an amazing amount of time, the skirt, the shading on the legs, the feathers, not to mention the background which I shaded in many layers to get just the right depth at certain areas.
I feel pleased with the drawing and it will be one of these drawings I will always remember, both the meaning and the time I made it.

Made with a B pencil.
30x40cm/12x16"

I think it looks great and it is very emotional: it is a plentiful drawing, to me (I mean there are both fullness and unity in it, hope you understand what I mean...) :+favlove:

thats one of the pictures that shows all the things that are going through someones life. its something special that you can show your feelings in so detailed pictures. i think you do all your drawings with love. art is a part of your life. and every single drawing youve made is a special part of you. so keep that in mind and do more of your amazing work.

Do you have like a reference for the wings or something? Because I can't imagine how much time take you to do the wings. I like it a lot.

I can tell it has a real
meaning for you honey,
I love the drawing, and
the way it looks so much
like you. It's beautiful. I
would agree that it's one
of your best. The emotion
is shown through the frustration
in her face and I think we
can all relate to her. The way
she's almost naked makes
her seem frail and fragile. She
looks like a victim of rape to
me. What ever your version
of the story is, this is beautiful
I hope you know it is :hug:
