Finding ways to express yourself is difficult. Especially in art.
I've never been particularly good at it myself. I stick to stories, character designs and other elements of expression. They become direct results of when I'm feeling good. Feeling invigorated and feeling inspired. If I had it my way that'd always be the case.
But I've always envied people who could present themselves raw on a canvas. When you wake up some mornings and feel like life is giving you the finger.
And I feel pretty f---ed right now. I've never personally understood why your brain insists on perpetuating thoughts that you are perfectly aware are bad for you. Depress you. Haunt you and generally make your day a miserable one.
So here's to putting it to paper.
Hence the title.
EDIT 4/13/05: Seeing as how this was a would-be scrap turned my most popular work on DA, I figured I should probably go back and touch it up a little, try and get back the lights and darks that got lost in translation when I scanned it with the digital camera.. anyway. Pay no mind.

Dear sweet God! you envy others for being able to put emotion into their art, but you come up with something as powerful as this, it oozes emotion. makes me think of an overload, not being able to keep it all in anymore. If this isn't raw, I need to stop drawing cause I have know idea what the hell I'm talking about.
