Thread

by Amber Feng

I’ve been enamored with threads since I drew my first “unraveling” illustration last year. Besides all of the twists and turns being fun to draw, I love the variety of different things they can represent: destiny, control, connectivity, disintegration. In this piece, the shapes in the background also unintentionally turned out to look like wings!

This piece was also very fun for me practice more realism in my traditional art, push my comfort zone on how dark I’m willing to paint with watercolor, and experiment with bolder silhouettes.
