I have been having these words in my mind for a few days cry your heart out. This morning I finally put an image to the words. It’s kind of weird how this drawing came to life.
I haven’t been using my pastels for a little while as I had some graphite pencil drawings to complete first. This morning I really felt the need for my pastels again and I started doing this drawing. To start with I wanted the girl to look more sad, but she ended up getting a more empty/starring look which I guess is somehow appropriate for the idea too.
I ended up feeling quite pleased with the drawing. I have 2 other drawings in mind with the same title, but I am not sure I will do them right now as I already started another pastel Black Angel drawing. But perhaps in the new year ^^
I hope you like this drawing.
As reference I used a photo sent in to one of my previous competitions - a crying girl without makeup. It was fun making her dark and with make-up.
Made with soft pastels.
