Song inspired: I see red

(Edited)

More drawings from me this time because I really need a medium of expression lately. Too stressed and I have a little too much on my plate. Trigger warning though, the illustration contains violence


So.... Lately I've just been listening to slowed playlists because I have no idea where this blood lust of a mood is coming from but I think my edgy seld is resurfacing and it needs to see something provocative. Usually I'd illustrate something sexual or something dark, but for some reason, my mind got fixated with the seong: I see red by everyone loves an outlaw. And you can listen to that here


And like, I can understand the feeling of betrayal and wanting to point a gun at someone's head, and that ending chorus 😩😩😩:

I see red, red, oh red, oh
A gun to your head, head, to your head, oh
Executioner style, and there won't be no trial
Don't you know that you're better off dead
All I see is red, red, oh red
Now all I see is red, red




Although yeah, I primarily made this with bright pink (I ran out of red pen). I still had to get that essense in there. That blood lust and that need for revenge. So this is where it lead me... And it kind of creeped me out but it's just so striking that I can't get over the fact that I did this 🥺 I never knew I could express that much just from a song and it is amazing



Here are the progression shots ☺️


The materials I used: pink, red, violet, blue and white pen for everything
Duration: A cumulative 4 hours




That's all there is from me today, I still have lesson plans to make for these students I'm tutoring and sleep to snooze because I have to get back to work tomorrow. See you guys again when I make splinterlands artttt

Not sure if this is the healthier option for expressing negative emotions, but it's definitely something. Meanwhile I'm trying to find a lighter song that will click with me so I can hopefully make something a bit light hearted
