Description

Commission for my friend :iconrockwithsunglasses: .
He wanted a commission based off the quote by Emily Dickinson.

I wanted to emphasize 2 major themes:
World view and choice.

The colors represent optimism as the world view; seeing that there is always hope ("God Goggles:Faith" as my pastor calls it :) ). The pose and directive towards the hand is choice; that people choose to be that way. Often I see people with a negative perspective and they blame it on everyone but themselves. They fail to see that you must train yourself to see and be positive, it's not natural.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The pose was based off a random tennis player (lol).
The medium is Prismacolor Colored pencils on illustration black board

This... this is so good. I love the idea behind it and how you drew it out. I was actually thinking about some thoughts like this over the past week, and how I need to keep a positive outlook on life, otherwise everything just goes downhill. Really great job with this!!
