You Suddenly Realize that you Need to see a Psychiatrist


Artist: Gaven

As I mentioned in my previous post, pastel drawings were originally just a way to hang out with my ex girlfriend in a comfortable manor. Of course, if you ask two people to draw pastel drawings for an extended period of time, they will eventually try to find a way to make the activity more interesting.

This picture is an example of one of those attempts to find something more interesting to do. The game was simple; a number of titles were written on pieces of paper, the pieces were put into a hat, and then each artist drew out one title randomly. I drew “You suddenly realize that you need to see a psychiatrist,” and thus I drew the above picture.

As a small aside, I would like to point out that the scene is actually taking place in one of the engineering buildings here on campus. If you recognize the colourful floor, then you most likely know which building I’m talking about.
