For me this task was completely new and to be honest I had a hard time drawing something at the beginning, because my drawing skills were at the level of an elementary school child. After several tries and after looking at the mood sketches of my fellow students, I decided to pick a ballad that conveys as emotional a message as possible. I finally decided on "My Immortal" by Evanescence. "My Immortal" is about the loss of a loved one and the associated grief and emptiness. The song expresses the emotions and pain you feel when you lose someone who was very close to you. The lyrics are melancholic and express feelings of loneliness, missing and inability to accept the loss. Listening to the song, the following image emerged:
In the center is a person gripped by grief and despair. The lines around the person are meant to symbolize the cage of dark feelings and thoughts that can grip and surround one in such moments. The colorful and bright strokes represent the small bright spots on these days, and should show that better days will come again.
How Carina implies her day off...which are hair tied in a messy tie, an oversized shirt, hot beverage...and finally, sleeping in a comfy bed, pet sleeping on or beside you...

Wanted to draw some more Eddies! Here ya go! My favorite is the first one on top and the bottom left one with the scarf. Bottom right Eddie is an imagining of what if he was actually wearing makeup and this is how he looked like in the morning (gave him the smallest bit of stubble)
