My whole concept is things that grow. Through this piece I wanted to express the way connections and relationships grow and I wanted to show it through color. I wanted to show how a person's world could be colorless, but once they find someone they connect with, it's like a burst of life and excitement. This is my second time using colored pencil so it was a bit scary, but it was fun and good practice! I enjoy doing pieces that have a deeper meaning to them, and pieces that I know I can feel and relate to personally as well as others. While doing the colored pencil, the colored part was the most difficult, I want to explore using color way more because I feel like it's a nice whimsical touch. I was not happy with the background when I did it in colored pencil because it took focus away from the hands. I covered it with acrylic paint and it could still be much better, but I'm content with this as my starting point!
