[08.13.15] Heart-wrung Tears

Description

“Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agised as in that hour left my lips: for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

    Woo I'm getting deep now lmao
    So this is an entry for this contest! The theme was "what makes you sad", and I decided to use a quote from my favorite Brontë sister to inspire me. The title of the drawing comes from the quote above.

[my thoughts! this is mainly for me so you can skip this part haha]
    I think I'm finally (abeit slowly) getting used to digital art. I tried a different coloring style this time, and it was honestly reallyy fun. I had a bit of difficulty making everything soft at the end because the iris' colors were first very separated and not blended (since that was the coloring style I was going for), but I think it turned out pretty well yay!
It was fun experimenting with more brushes and opacities, though. I definitely utilized a lot more of the options available to me this time round (I think my last digital painting only used two brushes and one opacity the whole time...smh)

Sometimes, it seems like all you can see, is a broken heart.

Well done.

I Don't have 100 words worth, though.
