Life in Many Emotions

This artwork was having to describe but not using objects because I thought it would describe me as a person as much. I decided to do a little twist I decided to put my emotions in this I had to split for the background. There are some hidden flowers and they represent vacations and picnics that I go on in the pandemic. The rainbow is showing the happiness I have and the black drops are times that I felt like were hard times. Also back was also my favorite color which was included but as the drips. I needed to add stray kids because they are my favorite K-pop group they are part of my happy side. I had to add red paint because I just thought it would match black and it would look cool. I also added my zodiac sign hidden in the work because i am gemini and represent me. I decided to outline my portrait because I made a mistake while coloring and I had to color out of the outline to make it pop out. I also had to outline my hair to make it look real and for my face I just made it stay the same because I didn't want to mess it up even more. Next time, I would change a lot of things I should have made the rainbow a little bigger and if I had a choice would actually tears on one of the eye while the other is normal and happy.
