I like it better upside down. haha. Ok, I used the coloring from memory of a photo of my cousin at sunset. If I had had the photo it would have been different. Most notably... my cousin is male... ah well

I think this is truly beautiful. I really like the way you incorporated the colors into her hair. When I first viewed it I thought it should be called Dawn at Sunset because it looks like morning on one side and eve. on the other.. then I saw your comment (lol) Very nice work.

I'm back. Miss me? [edit]: Ohmygod. I've just gone against my number one rule. I made the tree trunks brown, and not grey. *dies*

What is so wrong about brown treetrunks?

concannon (Jan 18, 2004)

Go outside and take a good look at a tree trunk. They're not brown, they're grey. 'Cept for redwoods, and a couple other species. But most tree trunks are grey.

Zinc (Jan 18, 2004)

No. It's brown. Dark brown. You're just color blind..

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 18, 2004)

Yall are funny! :) Any one tree trunk has a multitude of colors in it, as do most things. I love the eyes on this melty looking wolf-dog thing.

i love the way you shade these draws. and so fast!

cmb (Jan 18, 2004)

I cant help it! Once the basic drawing was done I didnt want to alter it too much as it would have lost the freshness...

ambiguous.alkadette.amnesiac. (Jan 18, 2004)

An impressionist? <grin>

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 18, 2004)

I really like the way this one resembles a water color painting. Im glad you didnt overwork it and ruin it! Some works are just like that. Nice to see you in color, btw. :)

Ahh I always dream, and daydream about the moon. Ever wondered what the dark side of the moon looked like? Cool drawing!

"Lift me Up" finished piece

EverDream (Aug 7, 2003)

"...Down pour on my soul. Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control. Dark sky all around, I can't feel my feet touching the ground. But if I can't swim after forty days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves, Lift me up so high that I can not fall Lift me up.- When I'm falling, Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying, Lift me up - I need you to hold me, Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again..."

Inspiration from 'Jars of Clay'

Great work

lori (Sep 7, 2012)

if I had to draw the two angels that I saw at my bedside when I was really sick with pneumonia, they would look like this, only more concerned looking... but they were this heavenly blue color.. it was so weird... I've often thought about drawing them but didn't think I could do it

dorothyblueeyes (Sep 15, 2012)

reminds me of old magazine illustrations, or cartooning style, with that foreshortening effect.maybe it's the face and nose,too.but very much drowning effect, alright,and reminded me instantly of Michelle Pfieffer (?spelling) movie where her husband has killed,drowned his other wife.

this is particularly a difficult type of scene to depict.from films, & photos of a body, & face drowning,the light diffusion from above, thru the water,can be tricky, & have strange effects, shadows that are hard to predict.

while this is good,(yes, very nice blue)I myself would want to use a real photo,film,or even a model somehow to see how the depth of water,clearness,ect., affects the overall picture. (we have had artists, here, who did some very good depictions of bodies submerged, and i don't know how they did it;it's hard.) so, yes, pretty good and ambitious. If you're still interested, there are movies with drowning,or deepwater scenes of bodies worth studying.any experiences from life, swimming, diving, or just underwater could be helpful.(quite a coup you got marcello to comment.:) ) yep, this is a particularly difficult type of scene to paint; i think it's good. (sorry if I seem too analytical, i'm used to being that way on myself.)

The Dream lives on!!! Yes...after months I'm back and with great pleasure none to say the least! Due to some technical circumstances I haven't been able to post nor draw on this lovely site for too long a time. Any way, ever really thought of what angels may look like? I have. Enjoy! :D
