Pause - A4 Pen and Ink Art Print | Emotive Illustration of Overwhelm and Stillness | Hand Drawn Pen and Ink Illustration

Ever feel like everything’s just a bit too much? Same.

"Pause" is an A4 art print featuring a hand drawn pen and ink illustration of a woman caught in that raw, in-between moment, when the world keeps spinning, but you’ve hit pause. No dramatic breakdown, no heroic pose - just a crumpled shirt, tired limbs, and a whole storm of thoughts behind her eyes. She’s not broken. She’s processing. And that’s quietly powerful.

Drawn with Sakura Micron and Tombow Fudenosuke brush pens on Bristol board, every line is deliberate - capturing that intimate stillness where exhaustion meets resilience. A piece for anyone who’s ever needed a minute, a reminder, or simply the permission to stop for a while.

Whether you’ve been there, are there, or know someone who is, this artwork honours the emotional weight we all carry, and the courage it takes to pause, breathe, and simply exist
