Backward Glance

Pen on paper
Jaundré van Breda

Someone recently commented that the figure in this drawing makes them feel like the figure itself is uncomfortable in their presence, and I agree that this is the vibe it gives off. Art is meant to make us feel different emotions. The best art can usually provoke more than one emotion, depending on the viewer. I'd love to learn the psychology behind this. To think that a few lines can actually make you feel something, is truly remarkable.

Please let me know your thoughts on this drawing. Thank you.
