Artist's Comments

Used: acrylic paint on panel

What I Did:

My assignment was to research the clinical form of depression and illustrate it, so I painted a stone-like face in a dark dark room... I'm sure everyone would know what depression was... so I don't feel the need to explain the piece... as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

By the way, again with this piece -- my stupid camera made a glare on the black part -- it's supposed to be straight black with some white-ish marks to give the wall a bit of depth...

it looks almost like it was made of metal... like it was robotic. a sad robot... hmm.

i like the contrast between the dark background and pale figure, and the expression really gets the emotion across well. that big white cheek seems a bit too empty tho. maybe have a tear sliding down his cheek? other than that, nice painting.

I love your approach and execution. The way you segmented the face into seperate parted stones is great. VERY appropriate. Lovely painting!

Yeah, I never thought to put a tear running down his cheek... that's actually a good idea -- wouldn't be too hard of an addition either. Thanks for the hint!
