PRactice of disheveled and messy hair styles as well as lighting and shadows, clothing (again) and forshortening. Apart from that let's get into the meaning of the piece besides just the practice aspect.


Raeven is proud and tries to act mean and vulgar and strong and as much a macho man as you could think and refuses to admit she is weak. She will admit she is wrong as that takes 'real strength to admit when one is wrong'.

But asking for help? She doesn't like to do it. She will say "oh I need to do this" but its "I need" not "Can you do this for me." or "Help me do this." She wants to do it by herself but at the age she is ... she finally realizes that she can't always be a stand alone pillar in a hurricane. She needs help. She needs meds and she needs to talk to therapists and she NEEDS to better her life...

I mean I do.. and I reflect that in my art of her. I was on meds for a short time and months later I lost them and the ability to get more (lack of money an insurance). And now I can feel it taking a toll on my mental health more with the stuff like my pets dying and a stressful living environment. So instead of giving in to this stupid depresso thoughts ... I wanna draw about it. I /need/ to draw about it. This is my medication.
