I wanted to make something representing a loneliness, a kind of silent sadness. I guess it’s how I feel a little bit these days. Being parted with my friends, my loved ones… I miss them all, and my home and the city. It’s hard to move out to the country for a while, it’s so different from what I am used to and I miss everything about my “old life”. Who thought you could miss the sound of cars all night when you are about to sleep?
I kind of feel like I am about to start over. I mean, everything will be so different now… Maybe it’s just me being too sentimental, I just seem to find comfort in the past whenever I am heading major changes. I don’t like being this way and I’d like to rather look ahead and look forward to new things.. maybe it was because I really loved everything before Christmas, was a quite happy time for me.
Anyway, this drawing represents this…
I got the idea in my head when I saw this beautiful photo: here of Sabine.
Thanks to her for letting me use the pretty photo.

I really enjoyed making this drawing. The satin took a very long time as well as the corset. Also the ground.. I tried to make it look rougher, to resemble ‘earth’.
Overall I feel happy with this drawing.
Made with soft charcoal.
