hi here my latest completed drawing up to date.
so 1stly, let me describe my views about this drawing and its
meaning.
i was talking to an artist friend of mine Lorah ( some of you may
know her as Silentportrait on DA ) on windows messenger and she
sent me some of her photos for me to choose which to draw. then i
saw one that caught my eyes. i just saw her peaceful expression and
i thought of half the concept of the drawing already.
i was stuck a point when i was wrecking my brains about the other
half of the concept which is on the other half ( viewer's right
half ) of the drawing. i was singing some praise songs in my room
and sang the lyrics ,' you are my freedom, Jesus you're the
reason........', and i received the concept like an almost
immediate revelation for the concept of the drawing.

The technical
stuff
i used a reference for the face in the
drawing as well as the flowers. the hand (which isn't that well
drawn ) i used my hand as a reference. i will fill in some shades
more at the upper finger. the rest of the drawing i've done without
reference.
the most rendered part of the drawing is the character's hair and
face. the other areas of the drawing, the technics are just about a
mess, but it did not destroy my aim for this drawing. i changed her
hair from the reference making it longer with slight curls, i think
it gives the character, the emotion some flow of feel. i am pretty
happy at how the cage and its concept turned out. i took a long
long time to figure on drawing the clouds and i love drawing the
light.

The !st half
concept explaination
the drawing has a
religious meaning to it. i believe there is a God and He is the way
to eternal happiness. The girl in the drawing is a person accepting
God into her life thus at the same time is receiving salvation from
God. God then gives her anointing throughout her journey of
salvation to give her a direction in life, to bless her in all
things she does. the hand above her head signifies God's blessings
and empowerment and the the gas-like aura flows down likw river
flowing like how i've always thought how the spirit of God flows.
the flowers are drawn from starglazer ( or glacier i forgot )
lilies. star means light and light signifies life. i wanted this
drawing to have peace as its primary expression. peace is an
improtant factor to balance out the other side of our busy, and at
times chaotic lives.
_______________________________________________
The other half of
the concept explaination
i drew the trees to
represent people on earth portrayed here as dead trees. the wooden
cage is a more straightforward form of the dead trees. the cage has
vines all over it, its means that people's life is held like a vice
by satan. satan tie us down with his lies and temptations. the
vines represents constraint.
when the girl ( used as an example of a person receiving salvation
), accepts God as her rightful Saviour and God, the glory of God
shines upon the demons, spirits, satan and bondages in her life.
satan and the spirits of temptation and bondages flee with fear of
God's holiness and power.
the dove represents the girl that escaped from satan's wrath and
goes back to God. its represents freedom and happiness
