What inspires you to make these illustrations? There is a reoccuring theme in your artwork of depression. Would I be correct in saying you, as a woman, have some gripping sadness that motivates you to therapeutically express yourself in your artwork?

About: Hello! My name is Odile van der Stap and I'm an illustrator. I love pretty art and I come across a lot on the internet! I wish to share this with everyone, that's why I run this blog.

Disclaimer: None of the art I post is mine, except when I explicitly say so. In every post there is a link to the original artist.

The depression in my drawings you describe is not done intentionally, I do not aim for it. I have been depressed in my childhood for about 6 years, it might be that there is an aftermath from that period in my drawings.

I also just dislike to draw happy expressions. I prefer more neutral, pondering emotions in my art.
