So much emotions you have to look away, I feel this in my bones, Anthony sometimes I think you know me....
ReplyDeleteSometimes looking away is the solution.. I liked the drama I saw in her two poses.. Guess there are times we all feel this way☺
DeleteThank you
So good be here again and seeing your art ...it always amazes me!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you back… Missed.
DeleteIn first she wants to stay alone, hiding her feelings, being closed....Second one, she feels drawn back to outer world...Interesting sketch, background always plays some supporting role in your sketches...Love the mix of medium.
ReplyDeleteInitially the backgrounds are added to pull forward the light and push the shadows back.. Often there is the need to tie the figure down, so she doesn’t float away☺
DeleteThank you

There is something decidedly child-like about this beautifully touching pose.
ReplyDeleteWhen emotions are so overwhelming that we need to keep them hidden, we instinctively turn away from prying eyes...yet in that very act, the onlooker perceives our distress at a very deep level, arousing a powerful sense of empathy...
So, so, beautiful.:)
I agree there is something about the act of looking away. Success with this tactic does work better when a child is the one turning away… I kept wondering why she wouldn’t look toward me☺
