Description
I have always admired larienne 's series "Eye Tales" and have found many of them incredibly relatable, so this is my attempt at one of my own ^^
This piece was also inspired by Lady Gaga's song "Perfect Illusion". The lyrics strongly resonate with my own experiences (especially within the past month), and the emotion with which she sings it has always struck me. Thus, I wanted to create a visual representation of the progression of emotions I (and perhaps others?) have felt upon discovering that "It wasn't love...it was a perfect illusion".
Finally, to clear away any potential confusion, I want to clarify that the eyes progress in columns, not rows ^^'

Thank you so much! It took many years of practice and feedback to get to the level of skill I am at now, so the best advice I can give to you is be persistent, keep practicing, and don't be afraid to reach out to others and ask for feedback about your progress! Also, remember to stay passionate about your work...personally, that's really what helps me keep going.
Love and luck to you as well! ♥

I will try it out, a song that got me through tough times was Jekyll and Hyde by Five finger Death punch.
