Description Hi there, it's a drawing I've just finished.
To say the truth, I'm not sure whether I like it or not.
However, I'm posting it here...

Have a happy New Year!

Not sure why you wouldn't like it. It's spectacular! Is there a story behind it?

Snow-Owl In reply to CalebAHamm [2009-08-03 15:39:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I'm afraid there's not much of a story.. The inspiration came from a picture of a child, which I decided I'd really like to draw. And then came the idea of a crow, which always seem so beautiful and mysterious to me. However, you're always free to create your own story about it.

CalebAHamm In reply to Snow-Owl [2009-08-03 15:48:33 +0000 UTC]

for sure! Its a great piece and I agree, the crow adds a mysteriousness to it, which is probably why I though there might be a story behind it. As if it were a fable or something. Keep it up!

This particular drawing reminds me of Akiane Kramarik's painting of Eve tempted to eat the fruit. It's an awesome drawing as usuall, peace and God Bless!!!!

Hmm maybe, but it's not one of those 'very close to heart' pieces. Glad you like it, though. Thank you!

It is gorgeous. And to think you're only 17...it amazes.
However, it looked like something was out of proportion about the eyes and nose. Perhaps it's the small forehead, or small chin.... I can't place it. You are too good with that pencil, your details distract @.@
Still beautiful, none-the-less.

Maybe you're right, especially as it was drawn quite some time ago. But I'm too lazy to search for reference to compare. Anyway, thanks.

I like this one very much. I did not notice it amongst the rest of your pieces in your gallery, it being so dark, and the rest being so light. But I'm glad I did. It reminds me of native american folklore.

Snow-Owl In reply to angryfisheatenbycat [2006-09-16 08:15:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I've always liked the 'native american' kind of drawings and tried to capture this feeling
in this drawing. I'm happy that you noticed it!

Hello. I was looking through your gallery, and this one caught my eye. I'm not sure why, but it kind of feels like that boy has story to tell... If you know what I mean? I really want to know what he's looking at!! This one would be perfect as cover for a book...
The boy's hair is great, and so is the black border. It's wonderfully dark, but not too dark. Really really well done!!

Snow-Owl In reply to Jackspearl [2006-03-02 17:14:18 +0000 UTC]

Hi, thanks for such a nice comment! I'm glad that this drawing makes you wonder and leaves some questions after viewing. I think, it's usually very important for any artwork, so I really appreciate your opinion. And yeah, when I finished it, I also had an idea that it could be a cover for some book.
Thanks again for your kind words!

I say this a lot in my comments for your pictures, but this is amazing! It looks almost like a movie still, or a poster advertising a movie. I love the way that the boy's face (apologies if it's not a boy...) and the raven (again, sorry if I'm wrong, I'm terrible with birds...) seem seperate, but then the bird's tail overlaps the boy's neck. It ties the picture together well, despite the varying textures and tones between them.

The bird's feathers are wonderfully done. So soft and shiney. Makes me want to reach out and touch them, just like with a lot of your pictures. The boy's hair is amazing as well, I wish I could do hair half as good as yours. His eyes are so beautifully done, despite not being the 'main focus' of the picture. The slight glimpses of the background just finish off the picture, making this a very deep and engaging picture.

Again, apologies if I've made mistakes in this comment (like I have in the past with others...). And congratulations on once again creating a fantastic picture!

Snow-Owl In reply to Dagger-13 [2006-01-07 21:10:14 +0000 UTC]

Again, you made my day with your warm comment!
This time I put several pictures together- a pic of a boy (yes, I guess it's really a boy ),
another pic of a raven (you were right about it, either ) and a dark border. I'm very glad that
you like this composition!

The boy's facial expression was probably the main thing that inspired me to draw this pic.
His hair and the bird's feathers were a little bit difficult to draw because of the 'huge amount' of
black that I had to use while drawing them. Once again, I'm very glad that you like, how they look.

A big, big thanks for your comment!

I'm so glad you like my comments Even though they don't seem to get very close to how much I love your drawings, they do help a bit, I hope

I'm also glad that I was right about the bird, and the boy. I've made bad mistakes in the past and have really upset some people Not good. And I love the way that this has a different overall 'feel' to the rest of your gallery, with the darker, sharper contrast and tones. It's definately one of my favourites of yours.

What is there not to like, the shadow and lighting on this is amazing, incredible patience on your part.....A real sense of innocence and beauty coming from the boy......

I was uncertain of the whole composition and I was afraid the picture was too dark.
However, all the nice comments changed my opinion to a better side.
Thank you very much for your words and a fav!
