IF: Shadows

Coming up with an illustration for the topic Shadows  was quite difficult for someone who does not work with shadows in her pieces. I gave it a long thought what should be my piece. There were five ideas I considered, three I actually did with ATC's and two that I really liked. I worked them in pen and ink and colored it with my bloody red ballpen. They were photographed and edited in Photoshop. So here they are.

Shadow of Glamour is inspired by Miss Gretchen Baretto, the most glamorous female celebrity ever to walk on Philippine showbiz. She has the most beautiful face I've ever seen and the most gorgeous body ever. Her fashion sense is superb and her beauty is timeless. She must be around 40 years old but she looked just as beautiful as she was when I first saw her running in a yellow bathing suit in movie she did ages ago. She's so lovely that anyone who sits next to her fades into her shadow. She's so glamorous that it my eyes her shadow is lovely shade of red.

Shadow of a Doubt is a figurative portrait for myself when I was still a teenager. I knew that I was pretty and quite intelligent but a very dark cloud called INSECURITY hang over my head clouding my judgement leading me to make foolish decisions that hurt me in the end. It was quite a struggle to get out of that psychological mess and I'm glad I'm over that phase now.
