- Stronger -
Have you ever stood in front of a car and just wanted to stand still. But somehow you moved in the very last minute, like something deep inside you forced you. You really wanted to just not make that move but you did it every single time.
Then one day you suddenly no longer feel the need to stand still anymore. You move naturally, like you never wanted to stand still to begin with. I think it’s called hope, belief. Getting stronger.
*Theoretically speaking* - I would never do something like that, would be terrible to the person in the car not to mention the other effects by taking your life like that.
I wanted the girl to be in between this feeling. Having a strong look in her face but her body being somehow weak or awkward. I just didn’t want to make the obvious happy smiley look to imply happiness/feeling strong, but something different.
I feel a little sad about the outcome of this drawing. Mainly because of her face, the drawing was going quite well until I somehow messed up her face, I think it’s her nose/mouth being in a weird position and though I have tried fixing it I still don’t think it looks alright. So I guess I have to leave it as that and make it better next time.
