IF Rejection


This week’s IF assignment is "rejection". As I thought about how I have felt in the past when I was rejected, for whatever reason, my mind wandered to music, specifically melancholy music I like to listen to when I'm having a bad day, so I chose to illustrate The Beatles' "Blackbird". Specifically, I'm thinking about the verse that states, "take these broken wings and learn to fly".

Oh my god! by far my favorite piece on illo friday this week! Paul McCartney sang this song so beautifully, and you illustrated it just as well! You definitely captured the brilliance!
