Description
Here's a picture that I have been wanting to finish for a long time! Obviously (as the title says), Bella is in depression in this picture.Unlike most people who were sick of Bella in New Moon, I completely empathized with her. I only did because I wrote a story in which the main male character left the female and she had to deal with it throughout the whole book. I felt the pain that Bella felt, especially when she would just collapse to her knees and hold herself tight so that she wouldn't fall apart. Also, I think that this was because Stephenie Meyer is just a super special AWESOME author!
Anyways...one of the scenes that got me the most was in Chapter 10: "The Meadow", when Bella rediscovers Edward's meadow.
The disappointment was nearly as instantaneous as the recognition. I sank down right where I was, kneeling there at the edge of the clearing, beginning to gasp.
What was the point of going any farther? Nothing lingered here. Nothing more than the memories that I could have called back whenever I wanted to, if I was ever willing to endure the corresponding pain - the pain that had me now, had me cold. There was nothing special about this place without him . I wasn't exactly sure that I'd hoped to feel here, but the meadow was empty of atmosphere, empty of everything, just like everywhere else. Just like my nightmares. My head swirled dizzily.
I don't know why, but I just felt so bad for her in this scene. However, it also inspired me to draw a picture. I have thank my friend Kaity for posing for me so I could get Bella's pose right. Without her, the pose would have sucked, or the picture would have taken me even longer to finish!
I know that there are no wildflowers when Bella gets there in New Moon (I actually just found that out a second ago), but I just liked them in the picture, so DEAL with it! ^_^
I am very happy with how this picture turned out, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! ^_^

She's not in depression, she's over-obsessed with someone who left her, and she needs to get over it. This is nothing compared to what real depression is.

i myself know what Bella is going through... i have felt her pain.. the loss of the one thatcan never imagine living without... until POOF they're gone... i myself had fallen to my knees holding my self so tight in the place where me and my ex lover had once been... but our existence was just that of the past... i know Bella's pain... those who make fun of her in New Moon do not know the feeling and have never experienced a the deep loss and depression tht comes with someone so dear leaving... and everyone copes in thier own way.
i love your drawing! it captures her pain and loss! great job! ^.^

Yeah, you're totally right. And if he ends up not being the one, then that means that maybe there'll be someone better. But if he DOES end up being the one, then...you've got no worries, huh? lol
Well, I'm always here if you need someone to talk to (I know; you just met me on the internet, but I just figured that I would give up the offer)!! ^__^

i felt really bad for her...
i borrowed new moon from my local library, had to get it back within three weeks...
got it back two days later, cause i'd finished it XD
i have to admit my favourite part of the book was the cliff diving... it inspired me into writing a poem

I really like this picture, it captures Bella in the New Moon scene well.
I never quite got why people didn't like Bella, I feel bad for her. I would have felt the same way and have felt a shadow of the feeling.
