Description
The idea for this piece came to me several months ago, and I've tried more than once to get it from the original rough sketch into something ... I don't know ... more, somehow.
Finally this morning I realized I could just scan the sketch (duh)!
So ...
Real-world paper and pencil sketch
Scanned
Opened in ArtRage
Painted
Opened in Photoshop
Cropped, lit, fussed with a bit
I've never done any painting in this loose style before, but Andrea's work has inspired me to try new things, and Carin encouraged me to post it even if it made me uncomfortable!
Then I thought ... "Shoot. I could have just posted the sketch!"
So here you go. Both versions. I'll let you decide. I like 'em both!
..........
Oh yeah ... I almost forgot ... it's national "Post Your Drawing on the Internet" day or something, so I figured today was the day to do this!

cool results and sketch
Breaking up is so very hard to do hmmm sounds like a song I know, very nice piece Tara!!
Wonderful way to show the before and after! Nicely done
Interesting way to illustrate an uncomfortable time. And they used to fit so well. I'd go with the color version: male blue, femme pink/rose.
Really nice, I like this!
This is great...I like both versions. I like the colored in and gussied up version for its own merits, but the rougher sketch works perfectly as well...more like an illustration. The painterly strokes work perfectly, adding a bit of extra surface excitement. Great work.
Really pleasant and interesting.
i like these a lot!
Excellent.
You know, as I look as both images, I see the "breaking up", but it also seems as though perhaps they're embracing, even smiling. I do see strange things sometimes. No matter what, I really like both versions!!
excellent artwork
Excellent illustration. Great work!!!
Nice drawing, I thought I could see some Andrae influence in it , well done.
Excellent shot, fantastic colors and details
But Tara. Why unconfortable. NO NO, I like both of them very much. I am so glad you posted them. You got beautiful perspective and composition in them and I like the colors you used. Well done :-)))
So glad you posted these! I sometimes feel uncomfy posting something, so at least it's served its purpose by encouraging you!
so much lovely!!
WOW!, great arkwork auntie, love the colours, and you were right to change the order of the trees POV, much more balanced like this!

I love both,but the first is more spontaneous!Both are excellent.I´m glad you posted it and you may be proud!Fav.
looking cool to me
I like both of them...and breakups are hard, at least on one person in the relationship.
How did I miss the upload????? Duh!!! I cannot believe it!!! I told you - it's going to be stunning Tara, and is it??? Oh yeah baby!!! Marvelous, I love the outcome, absolutely LOVE it!!!!! Well done my friend!!! :)
Cool, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very intriguing piece :D excellent work :)
(fake! fake!) (ok that was a personal joke...) I love what you do with software, love the application of paint bands, love the hues & simplicity and esp. the way they fade & wash around the edges. And to me—and I think someone else said this—it could be a coming together too: That is, it could be two people meant to be together, holding each other. Either way, it's delightful. And I think it's the first physical drawing I've ever seen of yours. (Could there be more?) It reminds us of your roots. So nice to see...
