Description "My light slowly fades away
My hope's gone and went astray
But I see their dark dream-sails...

Take me away... from here!"

My inspiration for this was the song Akherousia by Draconian. When I started I finally looked up what Akherousia was. It's the lake or river from the underworld. To get to the land of the dead you have the cross the water by giving the ferryman a coin. The dead people without a coin had to stay on the side of the living never being able to rest.

The quality and smoothness of the pencil shading is exelent,
The light effect from the moon is very atmospheric :-D

What is a difference between colorful pencil and a crayon?...
If I may ask.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Palasferas In reply to Likopinina [2014-05-06 20:11:32 +0000 UTC]

Off course you may!

Crayon is a bar of pigment not surrounded by anything (or sometimes by thin paper) and a pencil is a narrower bar of pigment, usually surrounded by wood.Β 
I personally think crayons are better used for larger surfaces, while pencils allow you to work more detailed.Β

Palasferas In reply to Likopinina [2014-05-07 17:32:56 +0000 UTC]

I call the first one a grey pencil and the second one a colored pencil.
These are crayons:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayon
I went to the Polish wikipedia page and apparently there is not really a Polish word for it. Crayon and colored pencil both translate to Kredka, so I totally understand your confusion.

Thanks!

I think in Poland we would say 'pastele' for 'crayons'. But for 'pastels' we would also say 'pastele'...
Weird!

Thank you for the kind words once again!

I never dared to draw the sea or reflections in water, because I feared I would mess it up... But I'm also quite happy with the result.
I'm still getting better. ^^
