Flowers by Reisha

It was just a few days ago I was contacted by Neil to draw an animated illustration for a song. He gave me a sound cloud link to the song by Reisha called Flowers along with very detailed instructions of what he had in mind for the illustration. The first time I heard the song, I was immediately captivated. It was sweet and sad like most love story, always sweet but sometimes sadness creeps in. Nonetheless, this is a very good bittersweet song and I am very honored to be able to illustrate for it.

Making of Flower girl

All I was asked to do was to draw a girl holding a flower and express the emotion of the song behind a pink background. I was very excited to create this girl and to make her move. The phrase " I used to believe in love" hint of a broken love and imagining it, I thought she must have a very expressionless face because she is at the moment, numb to feelings. Or at least trying to numb her feelings so she could feel less broken. I made some tears falling as she tries hard as she could but could not contain her sadness.
