Description
"My father, my father, and dost thou not see,How the Erl King is showing his daughters to me?"
"My darling, my darling, I see it alright,
'Tis the aged grey willows deceiving thy sight."
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" —
"Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. —"
The Erl King, or in German Der Erlkönig, is one of my favorite ballads by Goethe, and I’ve been reading Goethe lately, so that’s why the drawing.

Wow, I just love it!!!!!Mensch, how did you ever get so patient to draw all those details and the wavy hair and all the small circles and spirals! Btw, love them!
And it really looks like an old illustration from the german book!Also, love their faces, so dreamy and inocent!
I saw that you used black ink for this...Wow...did you draw it first with pencil and then drawed the lines with ink or you did it directly with ink?
Super super, a masterpiece!

Apparently stress works for me, makes me draw crazy stuff.
The 3 heads I outlined with a pencil, but I was too lazy to do the same with the rest, so black ink the rest of the way.
And also thank you for the favorite!

Plain, old, brown wrapping paper and black ink.
I love drawing on wrapping paper, I have no idea why, but I do.
And thanks for the favorite.
