10 points to whomever can guess what I had originally drawn in the back center of this.

I was really upset last night. The film I watched probably didn't help. Brought up a lot of bad childhood memories and was an over dramatization of stupid jerk people taking things too far. I know the film was an exaggeration and meant to be . . funny I guess, but even my humour has its limits and I have no doubt stupid things like that do still happen . . .

Anyways, I tried expressing my emotions through art. But drawing anything . . . . visual, that I had in mind wasn't working. So I settled with the hard lines I was putting toward the end and kept going with that. Filling in each space that seemed empty enough with the next meaningful hard-pressed line until I got this.

Looks like a crying eye of sorts .. but you did go a little overboard with the eyelashes. :P

No, seriously .. things like this can do wonders in ways of venting so I hope it worked. Do wonder which movie can have this effect though.

That's what I was missing, eyelashes! But yeah you both got it, it was a crying eye. The tail Rose sees is supposed to be the tear trail. The lines for the lower lid were drawn in harder shorter strokes, but then I realized hard short strokes were making me feel a bit better.

Wow, you draw better than me under stress. Last thing I drew stressed had a whole in the paper by time I was done, or maybe that was anger. Hmm.

Either way, yeah I would've said an eye, though could easily be seen as a vortex to suck all that negative energy into it.

Sorry that movie brought back bad memories *Hugs Snaps parson*

Very similar to a very sorry man, whose head is a lot of problems. Just a beautiful art, deep :(
