Hello, I'm Cris and I'm here to talk you about that feeling called sadness for the third time this week but 'shhhhhhhhhhhhh'...Let's do it in silence! =)
After talking about it on poesy and films, here comes drawing to give you more headache.
First of all, I have to say I'm happy I could pick drawing as subject because I consider it the most wonderful way of expression.
Drawing has been with me since I was born. My elder sister draws, my younger one (twin of mine) does and so do I. But well, not the same way of course.
A few years ago, I started developing a huge interest for human being. I think we are the only specie all over the world that can tell the same thing in so many different ways. This has nothing to do with lenguages (English, French, Italian...)
What I mean is that we can express our feeling shouting, crying, in silence, jumping, or even giggling etc. But I'm not only saying so, no. I'm going further.
Everybody do all this actions in a different way. No one jumps the way other does. I don't even believe that the same person jumps the same way twice.
EVERY SINGLE THING IS DIFFERENT.
That's why I'm here today. I'm gonna show a few drawings I made. You are gonna judge by yourself how, even talking about the same feeling -sadness-, showing it happening to the same specie -human-, and even expressing it the same way -crying, shouting (...)-, none of them look the same.
So let's go ahead.
This one was made when Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix™ was out (2007). All I was thinking about while doing it was showing the pain the character is feeling. Make it real to every one.
Well, here you can see that Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, is expressing the pain with eyes heartily closed and open mouth, shouting.
Let's go know to the next drawing.
Here, British actress Emma Watson is crying in BBC's movie Ballet Shoes (2007). I confess I never watched it completely even if I got it at home. But anyway! I watched fair enough to find this heartbreaker moment. I felt it real. I even felt sad while drawing it.Well, now, compare the two pictures. Eyes closed, mouth fully opened, shouting...But still different, aren't they?
You can read on his face he will figth back soon, you can read on hers, she will keep blue for a long while.
One mood, one way, two answers.
Let's move on.
This was made a year ago or so. I was trying to expose the sadness is felt when you run the risk for anything you want and there's no success. (this time through a guy having impossible feeling for a girl).
Look at the drawing. No crying, no anger, no...nothing. But he's provably worse than people on drawings above.
In the last one, they are feeling pain for the death of a beloved person, in the previous one, he is feeling so for the death of his wishes.And Now below, a drawing I made when a relative of mine died last year. Here you can see, a man embracing a girl. You can see them as still as the guy in the previous picture but they are not feeling the same, or not for the same reason, at least. Sadness due to ''internal lost'' is not the same to ''external lost'' even if is lost anyway.
But they are feeling it.
Two reasons, two feelings, one answer.
And finally, A drawing ot the American actress Elizabeth Mitchell on her roll of Juliet Burke on TV serie Lost(2004/2010). This specially belongs to the final chapter when she finds on her 'next life' (let's call it this way) her true love.
You may be wondering now, so why is this drawing here?Why? Look at the previous picture. There's people embracing in both!
In the one before last, because they are more alone now, in the very last one, because they won't be alone anymore. But embracing anyway.
In this one, She's pouring out all the sadness She won't need feeling anymore. Like ''Cry out that you won't cry anymore''
One reactions, two feelings, one answer.
So I leave you with this few -but long(sorry)-examples about how different people are and how amazing does this make them all.
See you next week with more drawings, but new topics.
Love,
Cris.
