Current work in progress

Currently working on a concentration piece based on Cotard delusion (or walking corpse syndrome). I'll work on trying to make the person look thinner, but since I've never drawn an average/thin body type, it will take a while for me to figure it out... I'm also trying to fix the shading, since it's been a pain in the butt to do (and I have never been good at coloring clothing to make it seem realistic, which is why I usually don't color my drawings that have clothes, or I simply don't draw on clothes at all).

Anyway, Cotard delusion is a mental disorder where someone believes that they are dead or simply don't exist. It normally begins with psychotic depression, bipolar disorder, and hypochondria, which then blooms into thoughts of not existing, severe delusions, apathy/uncaring (as shown in the illustration/digital painting), and becoming very lethargic. In some cases, those inflicted with the disorder have hallucinations that make them believe everything around them is dead, and they are a corpse themselves.

  1. The bottom part of the shirt looks kind of weird and choppy. Other than that, everything looks very realistic!
