Stripling

The pencil and colored pencil drawing depicts a lonely boy in front of a mirror and next to a curtain. The drawings expresses a range of emotions, from sadness to anger and despair. The atmosphere of the drawing is melancholic and conveys a feeling of loneliness and longing. Much of the boy’s face is portrayed with pencil with the boy’s eyes in color, illustrating and emphasizing the intense sentiments in his eyes. While the boy himself is mostly in black and white, the reflection of him in the mirror is delineated in color to show his colorful inner world despite his cold appearance.
