[Mothers - Masochists] [explaning the process]

[The beginning. I decided to create something BIG this time, kind of enlarged illustration. The theme I've chosen explores the relation between maternity and masochism, as I think, that decision to have and raise a child is self decided way to be tortured. Of course, there's some irony in this:]

[At first I thought to make background similar to striped wall-covering, like putting 'mothers' in their home environment]

[my workplace - my room. the drawing is hanged on the wall with paper tape.]

[going further. my messy table, hehe]

[close-up]

[then I decided that the background is distracting the view too much, so I've over-painted it gray]

[looks better, but needs some accents]

[so I painted light blue/ sky-blue lines, which shows resemblance with bowels. I wanted to keep cold colouring]

[evening. the lighting is not the best. I added the last accent - red ball in the mouth of the mother. My roommate said, that this ball reminds her Blutharsh clip]
