She’s been hurt
She’s been trashed
She’s been deceived

But if you want her she’s yours.

She will love you
She will care for you
She will protect you
She will be your angel

This is an idea I have had for some time, just didn’t know how to approach it. My original idea was to make it with watercolour pencils, in the colours grey, black and red with a less simple look. But I wasn’t sure so I ended up doing it with my black ball pen instead. I feel quite happy with the outcome. Been a while since I did ball pen drawings, I forgot how much I like doing it. I am not sure if I will do my original idea someday, if I do it will be in some time I think and with a different angle. I wanted the paper to be longer and slimmer to begin with but didn’t have more of my usual paper, sadly.
As for the pose.. I had my friend take some pictures of me for the drawing, me sitting in a corner holding a white board. I worked hard for it not to look like me in particular as it wasn't my intention for it to symbolise me or my feelings. More like in general.
I just think that a lot of people get mistreated in relationships, for a lot of reasons. Of course there is beautiful love as well, luckily, but sadly a lot of people are violent to each other, verbally and physically. I’d wish people were nicer to each other and realised the scars they put on one another.
Enough said, hope you like this new drawing.

Made withblack ballpen.
