Skull (Flower)
This is a chalk art that depicts a skull adorned with a huge red flower and many small purple flowers. Actually the colour of the big flower was pink but I filtered it to be red since I felt red represents passion, something distinctively human. It kinds of remind me of Spain with their bold red dresses and roses...
Since I the huge flower was already something striking I decided that my small flowers had to attract less attention hence I chose a colour with a lighter hue. Light purple was the perfect choice and I did not want to use orange because it'll just blend in with the flower. Moreover, purple gives off a relaxing and soothing feel, a stark contrast compared to the attention-seeking red. As it the theme is about nature I decided to put in some curly veins. The veins were purposefully curved like the skull shape (to make it thinner?) and I seriously don't know why but I thought it was pretty.
Okayy and the yellow strip or design was so not expected. I just felt the whole picture was a bit plain and I guess i'm the type of person that will just add and add until it becomes a whole other kind of picture...Oh well, it just felt right to draw to add more colour?
The small tear is a must-add I told myself before drawing. Actually if you could see my other works you'll understand that I love drawing human or non-human art with tears or something related to water. I'm actually happy about the eye as I never expected to have this circular texture almost as if the skull's eyes were hypnotising! (Okay maybe i'm just exaggerating a little bit :p)
Nowadays I'm always dreaming about pictures related to skull...I got this huge temptation to do my own I-phone cover with fabric tape, painty marker and nail-polish! (Yeah, you heard it right, nail polish!) Maybe, if I have time I would do my own I-phone cover and post it online! XD
