The story behind this piece:
The summer of 2011 I suffered a lot in regards to many different things. I felt like getting it out of my system and onto paper, so I drew this. I tried to capture all of the dejection, betrayal, and abandonment that I was feeling. It's called "Falling Apart" because the girl (me) felt as if she was falling apart and losing control of her life.
(This was done in charcoal.)
First off, I apologize for the lighting. It's kind of off a bit.
I realize that this is not completely a silhouette, because of the pink dress. I wanted to capture the moment of the dancer and the beauty of the dance, so I didn't put detail into her body features. Instead I made her body a shadow. This isn't of a real person. I found a reference of a ballerina from the internet and went off of that.
What do you think of it???
