The Gift...

Description

This is my entry for the Give the Gift of Art contest.

 

It shows me giving a skeleton key to my best friend Tom (BlindSharigan). It symbolizes my support. In early 2011, he gave me this key in the form of his friendship. In 2013, I gave it back to him in the form of love, but then he gave it back to me in the form of an apology with the suggestion of being like brother and sister instead. Now, after much exchange, and his being busy in college trying to get his teaching degree, I am giving it back to him as my support for him in everything he does. Hopefully this key, for him, will unlock the door of opportunity and success. In addition, the table symbolizes the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, for he comes from the Netherlands, and I from the US.

 

I drew this on computer paper with pencil first, inked the outlines, then scanned it into Adobe Photoshop CS 3 to color it and add detail and dimension to it. It’s a bit messy, but I had to do it with a mouse due to the fact that I have no tablet or anything like it.

 

I would definitely give the piece of art to Tom; he’s been there for me when I needed him and now I want to return the favor.

 

:peace:
