Thank You for Playing With Me

I made this oil pastel illustration in 2021 after watching the Netflix series titled Squid Game. I was moved by Kang Sae-Byeok, a.k.a. Player 067, who had significant personal growth and development during the series. She quickly emerged as my favorite character in Squid Game, so I felt driven to draw fan art depicting one of her most heartbreaking moments. 

I made an effort to capture the color scheme of the picture, the way the cloth flowed over her body, and the way the ambient light reflected off her face. It was a wonderful experience working with oil pastels because of how effortlessly and vibrantly the colors blended onto the page. Besides that, it added a unique texture to the paper, which I liked in the finished product.
