DIGITAL PAINTING; FREEDOM

This painting is based on events happened in my life. I paint this to express myself and also at the same time, use this to motivate others. Thus, I've decided to make this a motivational and inspirational painting for one to remember. As I am into surrealism, I play around with metaphor to portray my message.

Here's my process:
I note down what I have in mind through mind-mapping:


Experiment on what I have in mind through sketches


When I've decided to choose on one, I started painting what I visualised.



Painting a human face









Paint the body and add background to it.


Combine the two painting into one canvas.



Butterflies. Why, of so many out there I chose butterflies. First it is cliche/common when one hears about freedom, they thought about bird. Another thing is because butterfly have gone through a cycle and stages of life which is becoming a caterpilla, pupa, lava and after going through this, they finally turned into a beautiful creature and be free on their own.



And finally add tagline inside.
