WIP - Book illustration
Added 2021-01-06 01:35:28 +0000 UTCThis chapter of the book is about violence in relationships.
About a cycle in which the abuser begins to feel guilty after a violent attack and apologizes (to commit violence again after the tension phase). The cycle will never stop if the victim wonโt decide to leave. The only rescue for the abuser (from himself or herself) is long-term therapy. The drawing illustrates an apology with flowers that the victim applies to a painful wound.
Drawing emotions affects artists mood. You probably know that when you draw smiling person, you have a smile of your face too. I have almost only sad chapters to draw now but itโs still very important experience for me ๐บ
