Hello Darkness my Old Friend

24 days ago

Hello everyone!

I am super excited to share this piece so I'm just going to jump right to it. I started this a few weeks ago and it was first a lazy illustration I drew with no distinctive plans for but on my last day at work two weeks ago I go inspired by the composition of a previous piece

Which is more of a landscape mode than the 1:1 or portrait dimensions I usually go for. Anyway I spontaneously came up with the idea for a mirror reflection

But I didn't want to go the easy way of simply duplicating the image and then do a vertical flip. I tried to imagine what a reflection would really look like staring back at you from this angle

To be honest, I have seen too many artists get this wrong, I wanted to go home and create a reference photo by taking a picture of myself in similar positioning. But I crossed my fingers and went on ahead.

This was pretty much where I stopped 15 days ago. I got home thinking I would continue but I was lazy at it with a few stroking every other day until last Sunday, I finally put my back into it.

Final results? It's really good considering my low expectations.

What do you think?

I hope you enjoy this little piece and I will be back soon to share more art.✌️✨

Take care!
