Dance of Spring

[rowyn]

The February resolution to do more drawing has been somewhat iffy. Granted, I've averaged at least twenty minutes per day of drawing -- over the course of the Florida trip alone I must've spent fifteen hours on art. The week since my return has been much less inspired. In all respects. I haven't done any new entries in unfinishedtales since last Wednesday. I've done a little sketching but skipped several days. The most creative thing I've done since getting home is baking cookies on Monday.

However, I do have some stuff from the Florida trip, so I scanned in one of those to post. On the other marker-work I've scanned with my new scanner, I wasn't too too happy with the way the colors came out, but I think this one was actually improved by being scanned.



I like the concept for this piece, and am kinda-sorta happy with the way it came out, but I dunno. The shadow-man, in particular, didn't come out right. Maybe I'll try the same idea again someday.

The picture reminds me of When Harry Met Sally:

"A faceless man rips off my clothes!"

"That's it? That's the sex fantasy you've been having since you were twelve?"

"Well, sometimes I vary it a little..."

"Which part?"

"What I'm wearing."

Heehee! I remember that scene. =)

I was there when you were marker-ing the trees, and I wanna say that I love the way they came out. The background is masterful and I love it to bits. The costume is nice, too! And the shading on the hair...

Aw, thank you! I always think pictures look incomplete without a background, but I dislike drawing them. I'm glad this one worked out all right. =)

Y'know, I just realized have a dress rather like this one, only in white and with a tight skirt instead of a flowing one. Hmm.

Ooooo, oh I missed this one. It looks really good, the winter details came out quite well and her dress is excellent. I like the shadows around her belly and legs. The occasional dips in the snow, very effective... a lighter blue would have been happier, but the many brownish-grays do accurately capture the unthrilling aspects of winter.

That sky in the background, gah, how I remember it well.
