Artist's Comments

Ok... so I couldn't think of a better title but I hope you like it. =D

I did this a few months back and there isn't really any idea behind it but I sort of like it any way.
I wanted to try drawing on some red coloured paper that I bought a very long time ago... unfortunately the scanner didn't pick it up as I would have wanted it to.

I think I first drew a sketch and then did the line art with a pigment liner, after that I used my grey scale markers for shadows. Then I did the highlights with a white pastel pen and a pink gel ink pen.
The crows didn't really turn out exactly as I wanted them but I guess they will do for now.

I'm not sure if I should add some kind of background or leave it as it is. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

:hug:

Oh, man has it been a while or what :laughing:? I love the red, keep it like this, it gives that sort of mystious feel to it ^^

I like it but do feel it could use a background to make it pop.

Incredibly absent minded and not nearly cynical enough.

I like it the way it is. Empty space can be very effective when used the right way.

All generalizations are false, including this one.

nothing wrong with the title and it looks good the way it is. i understand not being completely happy with it, but then again we're always our own worst critics. ease back, realx, enjoy your work. :]
