Description
I'm not sure if the title fitsRelated content

The title totally fits, a small boat in the middle of nowhere just floating up in front of you and the moment you get on it rows itself into Glob know's where. Goodness this title and art just triggers my imagination, I love it.

For ProjectComment !
Since many other helpful deviants have commented, I will almost exclusively address the title. I don't believe your title fits, for numerous reasons (one being it's not capitalized and I don't know why it's not 
However, your technical skill is superb!
I seriously love just looking at this

I know that the drawing is dark, but I think an adventure doesn't have to be a happy trip. It could also be that you don't actually want to go. The drawing is closed because the adventure hasn't started yet. It's still just a call. There is the possibility to escape it with the boat. Another similar way to interpret it is that you're seeing the mundane and the depressed mood in the drawing and that's why you need to the call to adventure. The boat is facing you because it's calling for you to get on and face an uncertain adventure. What would be an adventure without exploring the unknown in a more risky situation you've never been and just hanging around in a boat on a sunny day? But I can see your points too. It's a matter of interpretation, but I'll leave since most of the others think that it fits^^
But anyway thanks very much for the constructive comment

"I'm not quite sure why the water turns into a blob halfway out"
Does it? I see the water getting darker, then hidden under mist.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mist? I suppose it could be mist, although it does not come across to me that way for some reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably because of the smooth line across the top of the mist and a narrow band of dark water, followed by what appears to be more mist. The mist is not perfectly done, but because it is in the background, any flaws are not obvious since the viewer's gaze is drawn to the highly-detailed boat in the foreground. I understand your concern that the mist seems a little off, but I do not think it detracts from the overall quality, simply because being in the background gives it little prominence.

I love the proportions and the shades! Very good use of the color tones and think it fit properly with the landscape and the concept. The reflect in the water, in my personal opinion can be more wavy and incorporate more fading effect so it can look more like water and avoid the mirror effect. For example the reflection at the very far away part I think is just brilliant! At the left part of the reflection I noticed that there's more wood logs than the actual ones in the boat. Overall I think is a very nice representation of you want to express based on the tittle.

Heya^^
Another lovely piece. This thime, the dark colours actually make it look more alluring, like something of a dare combined with the title. I like the shade of brown for this a lot! And its simplicity, both in choice of motive and with the different shades of one colour, make it wonderfully atmospheric. The water is pretty well done, except maybe for the fact that the boat seems to be a bit high on it. The reflection looks great! The grass where the rope leads to makes for an interesting contrast in that it is almost black, but it does sort of make me wonder where exactly the boat is tied to. The fading in the background looks pretty solid to me. Looks like the boat is just lying there, waiting, and I like how the emptiness makes it look all the more inviting.
Great job there!

Nein, hat eigentlich nicht lange gedauert. Ich war echt überrascht wie schnell ich war

Cool. Wenn ich as so zeichnen wollte, würde ich bestimmt Tage dran sitzen. Und schlussendlich doch frustriert aufgeben...

Ja schon aber ich konnte noch nicht sicher und es wäre echt awkward gewesen wenn du doch kein deutsch konntest xD
Komm schon, etwas mehr selbstvervetrauen und optissmus

Auch wieder wahr^^
Nah, ich bleibe beim Gedichteschreiben und hin und wieder nem gestrickten Foxpond. Darin bin ich tatsächlich recht gut^^

Ist auch gut
Ich muss für ein Deutschprojekt ein Gedicht zu Heimatverlust schreiben. Hast du vielleicht irgendwelche Tipps?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dankesehr!
Heimatverlust, hmm? Ist das einfachste da nicht, sich vielleicht einen Flüchtling auszudenken und seine/ihre Geschichte zu erzählen? Vertrieben, verraten, verjagt, geflohen, und dann in eine fremden Land, wo man am besten die Sprache noch gar nicht kennt, alles in der Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben. Und wenn man dann Pech hat, gerät man an Fremdenfeindliche.
Ansonsten funktionieren persönliche Erfahrungen (Umzug, evtl. Auswanderung) auch ganz gut.

Danke für die Vorschläge
Ich habe eher gemeint wie man die besten Reime findet, also wie man vorgehen soll beim schreiben.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achso. Hmm, gibt es denn eine Form, die dich besonders anspricht? Ansonsten ist es am leichtesten, wenn man sich an die bekannten hält. Sonnett, Haiku, Elfchen...
Und wenn du Probleme beim Reimen an sich hast, hilft immer ein Synonymewörterbuch. Oder man kann auch einfach nach Wörtern googlen, die sich auf etwas bestimmtes reimen.

Was ist ein Elchen?
Ok danke

Oh, sorry, ich meinte natürlich ein "Elfchen"

"but it does sort of make me wonder where exactly the boat is tied to."
An anchor? A stack driven into the river or lake bed?

Possibly. I think I was just expecting something that was visible. Dunno why...

The reflection on the water is very well done and adds an element of both realism and interest. Two things that catch my eye as potential problems are:
1) The boat seems to be riding a little high. Even empty boats usually ride a little lower in the water. Usually, but not always. It is nothing that affects the quality of the picture though, and therefore, nothing to worry about.
2) The boat appears to have a curve in the hull. Although it looks like the stern is to the starboard of the bow, it is actually in the correct place; straight behind the bow. The effect, which may simply be an optical illusion, is created by the starboard side of the boat being straight, whereas the port side bulges outward.
Quite a nice drawing.

Hello, I'm from
What a simple, yet beautiful piece you have drawn here. I love how you drew the boat, you did an excellent job on the perspective on the boat. The reflection is also drawn wonderfully too. You did a wonderful job on the monochromatic colour scheme, it really works. The tide also feels very calm and relaxing as the breeze gently blows by.
The shading is also done very nicely, it feels very natural, none of the shadows feel like there out of place. The grass as well, doesn't feel forced. The whole picture feels very natural.
Wonderful job! Keep up the good work!

I don't know if it fits, I feel it more like an exploration or a ride. But that could be just me and adventure sounds alot grander to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's I've chosen it over exploration, because I also thought that it sounded grander^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Understandable. I have had an exploration adventure through Mount royal this one time. I think they go hand in hand, you explore things things while on an adventure and both have connections to discovery.

I think the title does fit. It's like the boat is beckoning you to hop in and sail off to a new, far-off place.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love that reflection, as well as how you showed the water's movement. But let's talk about that boat because it looks lovely. I'd love to hop onto it and at least go to the other end of the water.

I discovered you through ProjectComment .
This image caught my eye because of its simplicity. The boat almost seems to be inviting the viewer to climb on and see where it takes you. So I'd say that in that sense, the title is perfectly appropriate.
The monochromatic color scheme also works for me because it seems to hearken to simpler times, when adventure could be found on a boat rather than on a screen. The sepia hue is well suited for the wooden boat.
The grass and the gently undulating water look realistic and calming.
All in all, a nice drawing.
