We've all been there, especially now, given the current circumstances. Sometimes you just have that irrational feeling of loneliness, and your productivity is affected on a whole different level. This bug got to me, and I am so glad I have really supportive friends and colleagues who manage to make me feel better despite lack of productivity at work.

That's my prompt this time. *Blue.* Or the feeling of being blue.

### She's blue.
And I really, really, really wanted to paint her blue, too. With these really big droplets of tears to add to the effect. But I wanted something different.

So I tried coloring her with hue stuck a *red*, adjusting only the value and saturation depending on what I needed to color. And I wanted her to smile. At least, as far as smiling while lonely can go.

The prompt came after listening to Keshi's (again!) song, *blue*. I'm in love with it! [You can listen](https://open.spotify.com/track/21yCOhgaDMc0KEtxhZHTbI?si=O9Xj7w-6QAmMA15LVYz9sg) to it below.

### Drawing the girl that's blue.
I intended to record the whole process -- in fact, I did! The start, at least. But halfway through, I was growing extra weary of where the digital work was going. While I have always fancied trying this kind of coloring (only one hue), I couldn't help but feel awkward about it. 

So I didn't record to create a timelapse... only, it turned out a little better than I imagined. (insert face palm here)

I loved how the hair turned out this time. I only colored the depth where I believed the strands should go, and added more shadows to, well, where the dark should go. Hehe.
