Quiet Spring

Postby Swirlshine » Tue Apr 09, 2019 12:43 pm

"It is the calm water
In the middle of an anxious sea
Where heavy clouds part and the sunrise starts
A fire in the deepest part of me.
So I let go and in this moment, I can breathe."

~Joy (Sleeping At Last)

I honestly wish I could somehow connect some nice quiet spring nature-y sounds to this - that's rather odd to say out loud but I DOOOO OKAY. XD

Anywho, woah, look at this... THING! That I actually really really like! It was supposed to be a random little doodle in Sketches And Experiments to express some more negative feelings and whatnot, but then I realized I really wanted to make it into something good, so... here we are! XD

Honestly though, this is where I wish I could be right now. Just a nice, peaceful field on a nice day. No one around to ruin the quiet, no one there to watch my every move. Nothing but me and nature. I'd be a nice place to just... sit and be calm and reflect, you know? Definitely something I need right now, probably even more than I think I do.
But gosh... it'd really be nice to spend a day like that. It's not likely, not even a bit, but hey, at least i was able to capture some of that feeling in this art! <33


Anywho, the timer's mostly correct - I'd say maybe only about 10 minutes off at most? - and please don't steal this - thank youuuuu! <3

P.S. Just know now that if you see me drawing a cream-colored cat with a brown splash on her back, that's my filler/based-off-me character - I use her for either one, XD! c:

(Sorry I've forgotten/have gotten around to commenting on your art! I hope you know I love every piece you make, though. <3)

This is so calming and beautiful!!!! I love how you drew the sun shine spot thing! (I have no idea what they're called. XD) And the cat is so small but detailed. :O I love how fitting the song lyrics are with the drawing. ^-^

Good job, Swirl!
