Artist's Comments

An ancient tree is left to grow ever older

They thought they were being merciful


A terrible scan!

One of our projects for art class. We could do whatever we wanted with watercolor pencils and I was allowed to use india ink for the raven.

It looks better in person, but it's still not fantabulous. The raven's a bit disproportional and the watercolor is blotchy and crude in parts, but it was still a blast to do make. (:

I'll post more stuff from art class in intervals. Maybe. If I remember. (:

It's good. I can see what you mean about the scanning and it being blotchy, but I still like it. :)

I adore the colours! The texture in the tree is grand. It's very pretty m'dear, you don't give yourself enough credit.

Trust me, I know how stubborn scanners can be. Mine hates me D: Maybe if I name it, it will be nice to me...

much love
:icondragon-wolfchild:
Very nice!
I rather like the "splotchy" parts in the clouds. It works. :)
And I know it's a really small part of the picture, but I love the face and the shading on it. Great job.

Okay so you're amazingtastic with watercolours. Or watercolour pencils. Whatever. I manage to mess everything up as soon as paint is mixed with watercolour. I'll stick with my regular pencils. xD
Ah no but this is a veeeeery interesting picture. the tree is super neat because it has a face (Pocahontas?) and it looks so twirly and everything. In itself. The roots. And all. It's like giant swirls and it looks really good because it's like a fairytale. With a raven. We love ravens. Ravens are symbolical. C:
My fav part is without a doubt the sky. All the pink clouds.. ah gosh, just great. Lots of pretty colour changes and it really looks like clouds.. which is always a good thing haha. The yellow cloud kind of takes away from it though, so distracting. I'm guessing you wanted the sun to break through there, but I think it would've worked better if it wasn't a lining on ALL of the cloud, rather a regular brightish pink cloud with some lining on some edges and a bit of an opening. (:
Umm the stubs. Do you even call them stubs? .. no, a stump. hahaha. how silly. Anyway the stumps, I like them a lot because they're all twistyswirly too, and I like the changes in the colour there as well. And how you kept on doing different colours in the picture overall. And the grassss is that individual straws I see? Blades, sorry. It looks great either way. The stumps in the distant sort of disappear into the brightness of some part of the meadow there, so stronger colours around. n_n
OHGOSH HER EYES. THEY'RE GLOWING GREEN.

.. genius.

All in all, OHGOSH AN UPDATE FROM DAZE? FOR SERIOUSLY? and That's a REALLY great pic. Well thought out and drawn and it's so mysterious and amazing. 8D
Hmm I'm in a commenty mood today. c: How long did it take you?

AND YES. upload more. or I'll make you!

"Always here."
:iconsupahpuppy:
I bet it looks great irl <3
Daze! You posted something! I really love how you did the sky : D And the area where the sun is at is really bright and gives a good effect to it.

Hey girl, did you just fart? Because you blow me away.
:iconlordagaranok:
Technique in scanning, or technique in art? XD

If you need help with scanning, then I might be able to help with the quality settings of your scanner.

And I wouldn't worry about it, I think that a lot of the stuff you draw is way better than my stuff. (:

:iconsuperflypenguin4:
How pretty! I couldn't help but imagine how annoying it must have been to draw all those stumps. xD
Great job, though! I really like all the pretty clouds too, ahah. C:

Right on!

That's amazing! D: I can't do much

Watercolor pencils I find are way easier than trying to use just watercolors. You should try it! (:
