I seen a picture once in "Life" or "Time" magazine like this of a Vietnam Buddhist priest protesting the war. This is great, the drawing shows great effects.

This is very different and interesting. I can't imagine doing this to myself or anyone. However, this is looking pretty good.

The Road Not Taken

Aakyra (Sep 25, 2008)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in undergrowth,
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost ~ 1875

oh Aakyra, this is truly a master piece. So lovely. You put so much of yourself and attention to every aspect of your draws.

Sorry for the delay in saying thanks! I do appreciate the thoughtful comments. And Grey Ghost, I love the poem, it really inspired me to work to the finish on this. The picture seemed to be a visual of the words. Thanks QT! I am always honored by a commeny from you, and Sun, good friends always!

oh this is beautiful!! the poem is great too, i actually sang a song with those words for as a solo a few years ago, my first thought when i saw this was that you had heard the song, it adds another level of meaning to the words as only music can. but this is an absolutely gorgeous painting and i hope you do more landscapes soon :)

I am sure that your performance was wonderful... the words are really beautiful, and I didn't think until you mentioned it how lovely they would be set to music! Thank you for the comment, it was so very nice!

This was a bit of a challenge, I used one layer, only the pen tool, no pen pressure, and no reference. All things considered I'm very happy with the end results. If the moderators do not believe this to be of Intermediate Skill, I implore you to move this down to beginners before a problem starts.

Very nice work and well deserved to be here. Love the coloring you did this in. She is very pretty and the shading throughout is really nicely done as well.
