It would be hard to hide behind a smile...

Most of time time no one sees you cry, you can wipe the tears away and carry on like you're fine. Just wondered what it would be like if tears left physical scars on you. Awful I suppose, as then everyone would know... but perhaps then you might get the support you needed. What would you do if you saw this girl...?
I imagine sad tear scars would fade over time, and happy tears would restore the skin like new :)

Yep, another piece of mine about what we show and what we hide. Things are much better for me now thanks, although what I've gone through has given me new perspectives I'm keen to get out of me and into my art. Hope this one isn't to dark or sad a drawing, just a concept I wanted to express :) Explored a bit more semi-realism in the face, similar to my piece; was very fun to colour, think I probably need to push shadows deeper and loosen up without being scruffy XD

Finsihed a piece on this one as well. Once more, I'd like to get the credits as I should, but I'm still a bit new.

That idea you had is ... can I say "great"? It's sad, yes, but it's still wonderfull. Perhaps it would help if you could see the tears ...

I love how not only did you capture the emotion by making her crying, but the shape of her mouth indicates that she's so used to crying she doesn't think anyone can help her. She looks hopeless, as if it's all gone.

This is a beautiful picture, and a bitter metaphor. Stunning colors, and a power impact give this picture a well deserved place in my favorites. Imagine how different we'd be if tears did leave scars.

i love the imagery and the thoughts this piece invoked. it encompasses fully an emotion that i believe everyone can share, beautifully expressed in the way you portrayed and embodied if in this piece. your art work has clearly captured a hold on the view that is hard to express adequately. my words could not do justice to you art. in short it is deep, thoughtful and beautiful. i love it.
