Question

Twitter's seen it first.

Answer 1

How long did it take for you to draw? It loks great!

Answer 2

Thank you.
About, 15 mins lol.

Answer 3

Is there any inspiration behind it?

Answer 4

There is actually. Recently Nate/NF has dropped his new album "The Search" and from one of his songs from it is called Trauma. The drawing went along with a lyric line of his, which is "Grab my hand, I'm drowning". The balloons are his main thing which he carries out through his music which are known for his burdens.

Answer 5

Wow that's very interesting! It would make for a great record/ album cover.

Answer 6

Thank you!

Answer 7

No problem! It has allmost a sort of a pink floyd feel to it. Nonetheless, I would love to see more of your art.

Answer 8

I haven't done much art in such a long time.. as much as I used to do digital art.

Answer 9

You still got it. My mother is quite creative, and she used to draw/sketch, but she hasn't in a really long time.

Answer 10

Oh nice, what'd she used to draw? Like still life or what?

Answer 11

My mom would draw still life, and the things she loved most, like dragon flies, flowers, and characters from beauty and the beast ( its one of her favorite disney movies. )

Answer 12

I think she would draw chickens too.

Answer 13

Oh that's nice.

Answer 14

yeah, its been such a long time that I had forgotten until you commented about not making art in a while. It's one of those moments were your like, "how could I forget about that?"

Answer 15

Understandable.

Answer 16

First of all, nice drawing. I do have a few notations though.

I could not make out what the lines surrounding the hand are. Upon venturing into the comments, I concluded water via -> ["Grab my hand, I'm drowning"] yet I cannot personally discern this. My imagination can actually chalk those lines up to be a variety of things.

The hand is quite good, although I think the fingers are quite long, in particular, the thumb. You can chalk this up to distortion given part of the hand is under water (light moves slower under water).

The balloons portray a great deal of depth, giving that proper feel that they are floating away immeasurably into the clouds. In conclusion, my only wish is that there had been more demarcations by your hand to eye after. Thank you for sharing.

Answer 17

Thank you for the feedback - It was a rather quick sketch/drawing mainly because I really haven't had the time to do art as much as I used to. As for the hand, yeah I know, I figured it was.. But that was the first time I've drawn a hand as well as my wrist not really wanting to corporate for whatever reason. The water, I'm not all too good with drawing water as I thought I was.

Answer 18

Deep diving into this, was there a choice on the isolated balloon in the background. it is probably representative of isolation which might relate to the song or yourself (I have no idea if this was just a direct inspiration into the drawing or if this was something you draw as an interpretation of the song)

Adding a ring (and making is significantly visible is an interesting thing to add on your part), dunno is it a trap in engagement? Whatever seems to be hold onto the hand is holding it back from the now freed balloons


Unrelated: nice table & pencil, where can I get one of those ;p
