Hello, HiveArte community!
Today I bring you an illustration I made in the middle of an anxiety crisis I had recently. I wanted to convey more or less how I felt and this is what came out.

I started by making a 3/4 face shape.

I wanted to make a kind of animated self-portrait, so I added big eyes and the rest of the features small.

Although it was still a portrait, I wanted to change the concept of the drawing a little bit and I started to reflect in it how I felt.
I drew the mask because I feel that we are currently living in a pandemic of anxiety and depression.

Finally, I added shadows and highlights and outlined everything.
