Crying Hedgehog | 2015 Original Ink Drawing
Story. In 2015, I was using pen and ink but also trying out watercolors. Pen and ink was something I was used to, but compared to the work of successful artists' I felt that it was the reason I wasn't successful. I thought if I added some color, maybe I'd be on my way to being 'successful' too. In hindsight, I was so stuck on copying the paths of others that I had forgotten about my own preferences and purpose.
This piece depicted how I felt about work, especially the dread I felt about Mondays. It was one of my first attempts at conveying emotion and still makes me smile today.
I hope this piece helps you to feel a little less alone. It's okay to be sad sometimes.
