Description I actually drew this back in January, but I never liked it enough to upload on Elfwood, and I wasn't active here back then. But, looking at it now, I really like it.

A beacon in the darkness,
A leader by light,
Rustling wings come to greet
And guide me on my way.

Ok, that was a nice, random bit of poetry.

Graphite on Bristol Board.

It took me forever to finally get the hang of them and get satisfied with my style

I really like her left hind leg for some reason... it's shaded well and the contrast is nice

ugh, you must've been staring at it for too long, if you take a day break you'll come back to find that it wasn't really as horrible as you once thought >3 infact, it's really beautiful^^

Thank you. That's probably what happened. The black background was frustrating me, so I think it made me not like the picture very much at the time.

I know the nostril is supposed to be flared but it looks a little too big, maybe. Sorry I don't mean to be negative Its a beautiful pic though!

Thank you.

And, I also have a question. I've never entered a contest before, so how does that work? I'm really interested in entering yours as I love your character and want to have a go at drawing her. So, yea...just wondering about entering the contest and how all that works. Thanks.

I agree, I can't understand why you didn't like it. ^^
I love your colored pics, but I think I love your graphite ones even more. I don't know why.. Maybe it's because you're so good at the shading and the highlights. Anyways, here's another one that i will add to my favs!

Wow! That's beautiful! I can't imagine why you didn't like it before.

You know, I don't really know either. I guess it was just one of those "artist never happy with own work" kind of things. But I really like it now. And, I commend you for reading the description. I truly appreciate that.

Just keep drawing beautiful works like that!

BTW. I also read your journal and hope you have turned in the thief that has been posting your work as their own.

Thank you!

And, yes, the thief was banned a few days ago. So, all is well.

Nice feathers, but why are his wings in different positions?

Oh! Btw! I just thought of a really interesting pose for a unicorn!

Also, the tail is a bit short looking?

First of all, I wanted it to be obvious that this guy as two wings...not just one. And, I think it looks kind of cool. As for the tail...it's really not that short, it's just fanned out. And, ummm, well....the paper kind of stopped....

Haha. See, I just added another paper onto the end of mine (of course, all I was doing was drawing with a compass)
