Description
It's been dark so long, the light is blinding. Its sharp harsh white rips my life open and shows, with naked clarity, all that I've been missing. At least the darkness lies to me.
~Just coming to terms with loosing a chunk of my life to mental illness
Mental health wise I'm on the up, but at the moment I'm tired a lot, which is frustrating because I want to do things but my limits are still small; accepting and working within them has been a challenge, but I'm getting there
I just want to jump on board all the things I've been missing out on! Been doing lots of pencil sketching, and speedpaints, since they aren't too demanding, and I can stay inspired
This is a 4 hour, polished up speedpaint, from photo reference. You guys said you'd like to see more of my rough work - So here this is!
The image is based on a photo I saved some time ago to my hard drive. I have a folder of photos of people who have left kind comments to me, who's photo look interesting, so I save them to draw - Sometimes I don't get round to it, mostly I don't like the drawings I do of people, so I hardly ever share or show them. I usually save the name of the person so I can find them - but I didn't here! So say hello if this looks like you and one of your photos! Thank you, and hope you don't mind! It's a bit weird I know XD (The likeness not great, sorry XD I got the mood of it though)
Peace, Love and Ocular Adaptation,
Blue xx

Speedpaint can mean not only a sped-up video tutorial, but also something that an artist paints in a short amount of time. In this case, I believe it says in the description that it was a speedpaint made in about 4 hours. I don't know if she made a process video of it, but I don't think there is one.

This is beautiful, and I think the fact that is is slightly rough, slightly raw (as you mentioned in description), kinda adds to the mood and feel of the piece. I think the hair is my favourite part though

It looks absolutely beautiful. I found it so strange to see a sudden style change. Very out of what I'm used to seeing from you but just as equally breath taking.
I hope life goes better. Until then, stay as amazing as you've always been ^^

Most of my painting I don't use photo references, so when I do, they look much more realistic! I wanted to try something different with this as well, not just do the same thing
Thanks!

Amazing work with the light and colors! You are truly an inspiration when it comes to portraits. You really have a way of using color, which gives you drawings really a unique style. I know I'm just a comment among hundreds, but I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. Get your rest and enjoy your days.
