Very nice work. I've never really tried using black construction paper for what I draw on, though I've seen it before. This makes me want to try using black paper.

You have a good grasp of lighting and shadow, too (as far as the purples and yellows go). Also, I quite like the way his wings and throne came out. Once again, very nice work.

Beautiful. I like the pose. Great colouring. I always love the effect you get when your paper's darker than your medium.

Thank you! It is kinda funny how dark-to-light drawings can look so different from light-to-dark drawings even if the values are practically the same.

Sooo beautiful...
I have no idea how you don't let all the compliments you get go straight to your head...
and hell, if they did, who could blame you? You are a simply excellent artist.

Very nice and I like how you didn't try to block out all the background color and just some.

Can't claim credit for the colored paper thing. My friend =mistressofspam usually starts out that way.

Wings make everything better! C:

This is really pretty. I don't know why it is, but I love drawings done on black paper. I've been tempted to try it myself, but I'm 98% sure it'll look crappy.

Anyway, great pose and choice of accessories

Well you won't know until you try, and it takes practice anyway. *lol* I'm used to going dark-to-light from some of my digital pieces and scratchboard. and [link] helped me too.
