When I don’t feel good,I don’t feel like myself. I refer times when I Have looked into mirrors and hated the person that looked back at me. I wanted to bring that emotion into my Animation. The feeling of hopelessness and depression that can feel suffocating, that can be helped with loves ones. I used a pencil toon to draw the animation, I wanted to go for that “scribbled,” feeling. I believe the messy art style can help venires relate to the theme of poor mental health. The colors also reflect that, with a grey background and dark blue to show the main character. We associate colors such as dark blue to be sad colors, so making the main character that blue would help the viewer make the connections. The same logic applies to the yellow and pink characters.
