I saw a drawing the other day of a woman looking into a mirror and the reflection staring back at her was a skeleton. I thought the illustration was really effective and it had a lot of meaning.
I was bored the other night and decided to do a quick different version of it myself. I drew it on photoshop first instead of paper and its not the best thing I've ever done but I quite like it.
In my version I have drawn a crying girl with vibrant multi-coloured hair, with coloured skin, lips and eyes. However, her reflection is in black and white with no colour apart from the tears down her face.
The writing beneath it says 'I'm so plain'.
Although this girl is beautiful with hair and eyes that stand out amongst a crowd, she still feels plain and unnoticed. However hard this girl tries to change something about herself, whether its her hair, make-up or her clothes, she still sees the same old black and white girl in the mirror staring back at her.
She never sees herself for what she truly is.
