'THE SECRET'
15-01-2013
Intro:
This drawing is made for my friend Kev. I wanted to make her a special drawing. Not like the usual drawings I make. Before I explain what the meaning of this drawing is. I have to tell you something about Kev.
I know her for quite a while and she has become one of my best friends. Kev has a strong personality and is very independent. She also likes dark Art.
Meaning:
First of all. I cannot say what it exactly means because everyone has a different perspective. People can look at it in a different way, but I do want to explain what my idea was behind this drawing.
Like I said I wanted to make a special drawing. So I looked for some inspiration(click on the page ´my inspirations´) , I came across a Skull. This brought me on the idea of half skull, half face. In the drawing the skull represents death. So this person is half living and half dying. Then I wanted to add something else. So I added a key to her hand, but then I thought every key must have a lock so I drew a lock where her heart supposed to be. The lock represents the secret to her heart, and the key refers to the strong and independent Kev. The hat doesn’t have a meaning but it adds something darky and magical to it.
As I was done with the drawing (with pencil) it looked good but it didn’t feel like it was finished. So I looked for some material to use. First I thought of using aqua pencils but I didn’t have any experience with that so I went for ink. Then I applied the ink. And so was the drawing finished.
