Traveler in forest development.

At the first point of deciding that i wanted to show the emotion journey through a physical one as well  i had ideas of someone walking through a wooded area, at the time in pain. This was the first sketch i made showing someone walking through, i knew i wanted a figure, but at this point i was still looking at it quite literally, this one was myself, thinking about myself (how vain of you rachel) but using my previous ink paintings and developing the idea into something a lot more visually descriptive.  

I spent time looking at the different way of showing this and it was this time that i found out about "the black sea of tree's" and then started getting a lot more into looking at the actual drwing of the forest as a thing.
