Description This is my first drawing using Derwent's tinted Charcoal. I only have the 6 pencil set. I used the blue, green, brown and a little yellow, all combined with the standard three levels of black charcoal. I am very statisfied with tinted charcoal set and highly recommend it. I mention this because I could find very little reviews of this product before I purchased it. I think it goes very well with the paper (9x12 Strathmore cream color).

The Raven here is from neokeitaro stock pack here:

The border is a Celtic Knot.

I really like the enivornment scenes you have been employing into your drawings lately. It seems to me like the focal point was the raven and the moon, but I can't help but really notice the mountains at the bottom. They are definitely my favorite part of this drawing. The hand coming out of the mountain side and the small figures walking around the base of the mountains look really nice as well.

Thank you. Yes, I am developing somewhat of a pattern lately with environmental effects. I thought of this picture in three main ways, the border, the raven and the landscape. I think the clouds are my best yet, realistic yet mystical at the same time.

You're welcome. Oh, yes. You are becoming a master at drawing clouds.
