Falling

Have you ever had a dream where you are falling and you can actually feel yourself falling? It happened to me the other night. The feeling was so real that when I woke up it took me some time to realize I'm in my bed and not floating in the air, haha!
So that's how I came up with "Falling". It's a pretty simple illustration that would've taken me no more than 10 minutes, if it wasn't for the hair details. I've just got this thing about hair, you know...

  4. Oh, it's beautiful! :) Well, the illustration - not the falling sensation...lol. Whenever I have those, I'm usually *actually* falling off my bed!

  5. Dear Lily -
    I'm not offended in any way, actually I'm pretty happy you've brought up the question. That's why i started this blog in the first place - to hear what other people think. "Falling" is an illustration of a dream and a great challenge for me since I'm experimenting a lot lately and trying my best to improve my works. I am not sure i could cover up an already finished piece, but I finish a new illustration almost every week so I asure you you will find many good ones that wouldn't be offensive in any way!
    The good news is that I am working on an Etsy shop and soon some of my illustrations will be available as prints and cards :)
    xxx,
