I've been working on this for a couple days. It started as just a simple little sketch trying to get a certain face angle, and then it just kinda developed into this sad, sorrowful piece. I drew her in this position but I had no earlier intent of making her look like this. The last thing I draw is the hair so my characters are always bald for a while, and I was gunna give her hair but I thought it looked really beautiful as it was and I didn't wanna ruin the look I had with hair. And then I turned her into this frail, sick looking person and it kinda reminded me of a hospital patient, so I put a hospital gown on her. I don't have a background story or anything so you can make it mean anything you want that's relevant to you.

What's with me and butterflies lately lol? I used a couple different brushes, the cracks on the window and the butterfly. I was originally gunna draw the butterfly myself but I found a cool brush set so I used that instead. I thought it could maybe represent freedom and life or something, and could symbolize the dichotomy shown here between that and someone who's trapped in this dismal world of pain and misery. Lovely thought huh? lol.

I tried to make the shading look like sketchy and pencily but I don't know if it worked. She looked better before I added the light, but the light looks nice on it's own. I dunno, I'm still not sure if I like it or not. I had a hard time with the window, I don't know how to draw/colour windows lol.


Ah yes, invisible chairs. Great invention.
