I Can't Seem To Remember...

First of all, I realllly wanted to draw one of those noses! They're so cute :@ I'm really happy with how this character turned out. I've started working on my art portfolio, and I've decided that what i want to be my theme is emotion. Expiriencing emotion serves often as inspiration for art or conversely allows the viewer to expirience emotion. What I want is for the viewer to be able to sympathize or empathize, etc, with my work. Maybe they might not completely understand the background of the piece or its inner workings, but on a basic level they can still relate.

In this piece, the character is moving forward, drifting along, carried by the motion of the cloud. But he is still motionless. A metaphor for how he is so caught up in small issues surrounding him that he fails to realize what could still be - he cannot see the bigger picture of what is.

Though you don't know all of his story, can you not sympathize with his pain? Though you may not have similar expiriences can you not understand his feelings?

Also, please critique me on how I can make it better <3
