Teens Inspired

Bride by Beth Lipman

My final drawing inspired by Bride

2 different sketches of my idea


I chose to do a drawing inspired by Bride by Beth Lipman because I think that the glass is really beautiful and I liked the way it stood as a symbol of something beautiful being broken and destroyed. I found my inspiration in the broken glass and the emptiness of the glasses. When glass cracks, it looks almost like a spider web, so that's what I decided to do. The glasses are broken and empty, yet still beautiful, so I represented the emptiness with an eye with a web, as the eye is the window to the soul and the web represents the emptiness that has taken over. The spiders spinning their webs on and around the eye add to the effect of the eye being empty and unused while adding some creepiness to finish the drawing. I tried to make the spiders look like black widows to add emphasis on the poisonous part of love and destruction.
