ART EXPLOSION WEEK 28: Melancholy

Greetings!
This is my entry to the ArtExplosion contest directed by @juliakponsford, sponsored and judged by @vachemorte. It is the first time that I participate in a contest, so I hope you like my drawing and advise me for future participations

"I measured my sadness on a scale of colors and I am in gray.
I do not know where I am.
Am I saturated with colors or emptied of them?
I'm tired of being on the middle scale.
Where there is strength but it is not enough.
I never reach the tone I want.
It is not strong or weak.
I'm just there, stuck in that world full of colors."

Theme: Melancholy

Here are some work-in-progress shots:

I hope you liked my melancholic drawing. I would appreciate if you can support me with a comment, a suggestion or your valuable vote.
