Description

This was my entry for Draw with Jazza's art competition with the Theme of 'isolation using light.' I choose to make a landscape, interpreting the feeling of isolation... or at least how I experience it. While I am not really isolated, I do struggle with those feelings sometimes. Partly due to my personality, as a more introverted person — and partly due to my line of work, which is often sitting inside drawing.


I guess this is something that a lot of artist struggle with... sharing it and being open about it can be a good thing, there is power and comfort in knowing your not alone in something


You can find my submission on newgrounds

I think a ton of artists can relate to that feeling-- I usually call it emotionally isolated though ;v;' Just talking about it or writing it down can really help alleviate some of the stress though.

And this piece is really beautiful! I love the atmosphere--It's like you can feel the silence; I get a sense of impending dread, which is something I often feel when isolated! Great job, I wish you luck

Thanks for the kind words Necro! Yes, sharing, or just writing it down is so helpful! Or just reading about how other people are also struggling with it can do so much by just putting it in perspective... I sometimes think 'we all deal with these feelings, so it's just plain normal and part of life to feel it.'

I love the dramatic lighting! 
I can agree that digital work tends to get in the way of being social.

Thanks ShiverJay! It does tend to get in the way of being more social, finding the right balance is quite the challenge
