Making who we are

Uploading a couple of things that I've done over the last week as idk if I'll be online much/at all next week.

My character, Erin. 

I chose to do make up in the background for several reasons, the first being that Erin is kind of vain and obsessed over her appearance. She likes to look her best and sometimes gets upset if someone happens to point something negative out about her looks. The second reason I chose make up is because having lived in care, she sometimes feels the need to almost prove herself and do what people don't expect to kind of cover up this background. However, just like make up runs and smudges, her background can't really be covered up, and though it isn't perfect, it shouldn't be something to hide. The final reason I chose it is because make up can give you a confidence boost and make you almost feel more powerful (well, for me personally), and outwardly, Erin is a reasonably confident person who smiles and says what's on her mind.

The make up looks kinda weird...

Anyway, art and character are mine
