Alice, this is a fantastic drawing and a brilliant personification of an emotional state! It's quite unsettling and very thought provoking and a real tour-de-force technically. I love the nebulous pen work around the subject - it imparts a kind nervous energy which adds to the unsettling atmosphere of the drawing and puts me in mind of Henry Moore's sketches for his sculptures and his wonderful sheep drawings. I noticed it in your Sherlock Holmes drawing and I think it gives your work voice and individuality.
I always look forward to seeing your creations, they never disappoint and this is no exception!
