Dream of Inspiration

I really like the idea of this contest, so I decided to give it a try ~~ this is my entry.

In this piece I tried to express the feeling of inspiration. This is a self-portrait, of me holding the paint brush because I want art to always be an important part of my life.

The hands are thee because even at times when I feel completely down, I want there to always be someone there who I love to inspire me and my art.

I did the background as rough darkness because I don't want everything in my life to be decided. I like not knowing everything that will happen to me in the future. Who knows who I'll end up with or where I will be in the future?

Finally, the window is letting in a flood of light to inspire me and my work~~ I tried to express a feeling of peace when I drew this. I like to look at clouds when I need inspiration because every single one is different, and I have no trouble spotting a pattern or picture in each one!

I used a 0.5 mechanical pencil, H, B, 2B, 4B, and 6B sketching pencils, also watercolour. I have exams all week this week~~ and I started last friday on this I really hope my parents forgive me~~ haha
