Prisoner Of The Mind

Description

"Monsters don't sleep under your bed, they live inside your head"
(source: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/5… )


Inspiration
The original idea came from a book written about US presidents. Somehow I found this quote fascinating: 
"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds." (Franklin D. Roosevelt)

Personal notes

Completed version for now. I wasn't sure/I am still not sure what to do in the background. Finally I left it white, because I found the cage is too complicated already. I may retouch it again later on as  was not entirely satisfied with my available marker colors, and I couldn't afford to buy new ones.

Completing this took ages as I hadn't finished anything "big" in months, not to mention haven't used markers in awhile... So it was refreshing and in the same time really frustrating to make this picture, but I learned a lot again from this and as for now I am happy with the result (though I see lot of things to improve)

This year seems to be the year of the tendrils :XD: Beaware, it is really relaxing for me to draw them, so I will most probably draw a lot in the fututre, especially in exam periods.  ^^;

Markers, fine liners
