Insecurity #5

For my investigation, I want to highlight insecurities and show their beauty.

For this next insecurity, I wanted to highlight the insecurity of feeling not good enough. Feeling not good enough and working until you feel numb was what I wanted to show with this piece. I wanted to show the tiredness of someone who works hard to not show their emotions or how tired they are to have others feel happy for them. The tired eyes are opened up with the fingers to represent someone realizing their feeling drained.

For materials, I used graphite pencils to first sketch it out, then went over with ballpoint pens, and used watercolor color markers. I also used a white gel pen yo highlight the eyes.
