Unravel My Soul

I put together various ideas when I created this image. It was difficult to get my concept drawn on bristol paper. Sometime, I let my mind clear out while my hand let the paintbrush flow across the paper. As I painted out the girl, I added dark color to express her sadness. Light color were added over her body so she would feel alive. Mainly, I wanted to illustrate a story about a sad girl filled with broken hearts. She couldn't tear her past away. The background focus lines and patterns into numerous direction. Though, I wanted a main focus on the girl. I made her standout even as she blend with the background.
