Subtle Thinking

Doodles and sketches inspired by the endless cornucopia on Pinterest has become a joy for me. I decided to let go of my terrible self-criticisms and let the ink brush transform the source materials and inspirations into whatever it is meant to be in my hands.

While editing the image to share, I find myself looking deeper into the expressions I see on the face and sometimes the inner voice, or the muse give it a title and story.

This little character is talking to a partner (Subtler Thinking) and they are waxing philosophical on the greatest debates of our times, including they deep reasons for their own thoughts and choices. From the perspective of the casual observer, they seem to be overthinking the simplest concepts, but are they, or are they exposing much more subtle conundrums to the universal mind?
