I drew this last year sometime between March and April. All I wanted to do was draw a beautiful pair of eyes. It took me days. Everything else was completed in under ten minutes. I'd like to call this an 'unfinished-finished' sketch.

This sad-eyed girl has a hidden fierceness and determination about her. She seems to me the heroine of some adventure story. Her parents dead she meets an old librarian who tells her she's not who she thinks she is and gives her a map to the faraway place where she was born. She sets out on a long journey together with the librarians son. On the way they face many perils, find out who they truly are, and save the world. That sort of thing. I get carried away. Which tells you that your drawing is very much alive to me. :)
I've always sensed something missing from this drawing (a shortcoming on my part), and now I've realized it; it's the story, your story that has been missing all these months. The void is filled now. The picture is complete.
Thank you.
I love the sadness.
Yeah she looks sad, no doubt.
I think her eyes convey a mixture of feelings.
It seems like she is stranded somewhere between 'fear' and 'sadness'. And when I look closely enough I can also see a cocoon of hope behind those eyes. A brave spirit refusing to submit.
Why, good sir, that is decidedly sweet of you.
