Paper Heart

What does love mean to you?
:iconcinaelle:

Artist's Comments

Love is a journey that takes you to new heights and discoveries. Sometimes it may lead you to sadness and regret, other times it will bring you joy and excitement.

I thought I'd give one of these contests a try. Hopefully I did this right.

The idea of this went through several concept and composition changes. The two people were originally going to have better anatomy, but I later decided to go back to more of the "storybook" feel.

Symbolism
Balloon: The journey that is taken.

Teddy Bear: The anchor, the sense of fear and worry that prevents you from moving forward.


Heart: Love, the connection between the journey and the journeyer.

Patterns and Color: Expresses the excitement or anxiety of the adventure. The birds represent "taking flight" in a new, stronger self. The tears represent the sadness and grief that comes with failure.
