I love how you have told the story in the diary handwriting style and the journey from innocence represented by fairy tales to the complexity of grown-up life, and the more realistic drawing paired with the desire to escape and find a private place to hide and heal. I also love the artwork, the contrast between dark and light and the detailed fine lines next to the empty open spaces is so inviting and engaging. Beautiful work!
Hi Nancy, Iām very pleased that you like this and that you understand exactly what I am going for. I often wondered if this story was coming through as I intended. Thank you so much for confirming that. I appreciate you taking the time to read it and comment. Cheers-
