Those Darn Lefty's

Working on an editorial assignment right now for an article about left handed individuals (of which I happen to be). It talks a lot of the stigma that goes along with being left handed, and for my illustration I decided it would be interesting to add a religious undertone (since much of the negative reputation is religion-based). These two are the WIP's i have so far. I still havent decided if i want the background to be pure white, or to have something going on. I think i may end up adding more vines in the foreground, and more fading into the back, to give a sense that this person is inevitably trapped within a field of bramble bushes (or something to that effect). Either way, its getting there!

It's a really striking image! Personally, I like the first one better, it gives a sense of movement and the feeling of falling. The one with the plain white bg is a little too jarring for me. I don't know. :) But both version are lovely.
