Liking the trains.
I have no decent scalpel blades atm so my paper cutting skills are severely diminished u_u.
PS. Just remember... What Would Yaz Think
Sophie looks like she is outside, while "you" look like you are inside. The emotions rendered are completely different (but equally effective). The colors in this piece add to the expression of finding the answer (the visual contrast between the red/brown and yellow with the blues and greens). I love the train shirt, it is a fantastic print and the empty space at the bottom of the shirt is really nice. I also like the “smoky” background
I understand what seems to be frustration of your work feeling too similar, but I don't necessarily agree. I think all artists develop a "look" that makes their work identifiable. You have a clear form language for representing people and while this may feel repetitive, other people may view it as a consistency of form; something many artists try to develop. Maybe you are feeling repetitive because of the medium?
Lastly, I absolutely feel your pain on using a pen. I try to keep my pieces entirely paper, but resort to pen and paint at times. It does irk me, but it is a necessary evil that in the long run, is usually the better solution. I like this piece and look forward to your next one.
