'Just a shadow of myself' - quick graphite sketch

in Alien Art Hivelast year (edited)

I came across a picture online not that long ago, that inspired me to recreate it my way - because it totally didn't turn out the same - but still...
I gave the "just a shadow of myself" title to it.
As the blurred portrait signifies the shadowy state, the presence of the sharp front flowers represents hope... 🤍
I started with a quick sketch just to get the most essencial parts, and used graphite powder to get similar blurry finish in the background. After that, I added little more details with graphite pencils and finished with erasing the most sharpest part in front - the flowers.
This was a really interesting project, but as I felt so inspired by the photo, I just had to recreate it... Also I'm trying so hard to break out of 'perfectionism' here and there.
