This is dark. In two different ways.

I don’t get it. Is this hinting at sexual abuse?

This hit me pretty hard - it really captures an abuse that is probably all too common

My impression is abuse in some form. Or maybe even the weight of the father's expectations keeping the daughter from feeling free to do what she wants with her life. It could go a few different ways.

it's about both a form of physical and mental abuse. it's up for interpretation, as i think people should be able to identify with it in whichever form they feel like

My guess on the interpretation is even though he calls her his little princess he still treats her like a doormat because women are objects in the eyes of some men even today.

What was the point of this comment? Why do men love to pick on women with dyed hair? What about your life has caused you to feel so small and insignificant that you felt motivated enough to leave a rude, misogynistic comment on a painting that has nothing to do with you?

Let me make it clear: your comment was not so offensive that I felt compelled to respond. But it was so low effort, overused, and unfunny, that I genuinely seek to understand how someone could think the energy used to type it out was worth it.

Parents expectations can be a heavy if not debilitating burden on their kids

Where I live there's a men's clinic whose commercials suggest that their erectile dysfunction treatments are the only valid response to some hypothetical person eating too many soybeans and thereby diminishing masculinity and destroying society.

Same vibes.

This could be a header for a lot of "family" youtube channels.

Obviously this is hitting people in the feels. But just to point out that your image seems dimly lit, not the artwork, but the photo of it. Unless that’s the vibe you’re going for, consider using a photo box to take pictures of your drawing.

It makes me a little uncomfortable, which I think it kind of should. Brilliant job and love how you got so much across. Is it conceptualized from personal experience?

It's ok they're just both big fans of Monty Python /s

Your drawing is beautiful. I especially like how well the hands are drawn. I don't mean this in a condescending or judgy way at all, I'm just concerned, are you okay? Are you in harm's way? If there is ongoing abuse in your life, maybe I can provide some sources to help you?

Damn, this resonates. Good work, thank you for sharing.

"My children are everything to me". Oh yeah? How's that going to look when they let you down?

It reminds me of Monty Python's opening credits.

I’d suggest trigger warning this, I certainly would’ve like a heads up. I think that speaks to your talent :)

This hits home. Just had to process this recently.

You're the "little princess," showered with praises for how wonderful you are. They'll buy you gifts and spoil you. They love to tell you how the brag to their friends and other family about you.

But those gifts come with a price. Your time, your energy, you happiness and well being. You want to stand up for yourself? You're being ungrateful. Look how much they shower you with love and materialism.

You think they're treating your sibling unfairly? You're spoiled and rotten for all the praise they give you and now you think you know better than them.

You want to be recognized for your own merits? "That's cute. But you're just daddy's little girl, and you'll still be that cute little girl in the dress that daddy bought you. Now go sit quietly in your chair. This is why we didn't used to let you girls think."

That ankle width to foot length ratio is a little suspect

I think this is the first time I’ve seen art that made me feel like I was punched in the throat . This is very sad, but thank you for opening my eyes to real things that go on. Beautiful work.

This has given me inspiration for a piece I must title “like a slave master”.
