Morr of youre beutiful aret work
its just wonderful
the shades and then the red pops out in your faceΒ 
it simulates,in my oppinon,a jiant dread luming over the horizen
even beter simulated by the "blake eyes" in the uper right,which to me looks like a graning monster ready to strike,
a strong storem is coming it clearly showes
but i also enjoy the light house and to me it seams that it is going to stand,And aidΒ 
any ship that may cauct in the storem,

I'm a stormchaser at heart. I'm continually amazed at the otherworldly shapes that Mother Nature can create especially with clouds. Here is a lonely lighthouse standing valiantly against the coming of a storm. The clouds have a real foreboding presence and almost nightmarish quality that proceeds the arrival of a storm of great ferocity and power. While mostly grayscale, the touch of red adds an element of danger to the image, forecasting the fury rolling in the distance. By far the most powerful image I've seen!

I was actually pretty worried that the clouds would look too odd

Can't stop looking at the rocks and the sky, the only tip I would give is that the top of the tower looking great but a lot less clear and sharp than the rest of the drawing. Lovely drawing

Sorry I didn't quite understand. Do you mean to make it clearer or less clear?

IndieJacket In reply to tooth-chocolate [2016-04-28 01:00:15 +0000 UTC]

I meant that because it's the only part that is colored it looks smoother than the rest, and breaks the consistency a bit, as the rest is sharper.Β

Caught my attention your job, it's a big stage, and at the same time is a little strange,Β In my opinion you could improve is the background, it's a bit confusing,Β but not like my English ^^.Β I think are mountains and a river or the seashore,Β you could blur the background, It would emphasize much the lighthouse, I think that is the main object of this work, only are suggestions ^^.Β 
The texture of the stones is very good, the lighthouse looks beautiful,Β Really red contrasts perfectly with white or light colors.
If I'm not mistaken, you didn't put signature, you should put one, it's a very good job and there are many people who could take it without your permissionΒ 
Keep it up!

Haha you're english is understandable, so no worries! There are clouds in the background^^ but yeah I totally understand what you mean and I definetely have to improve on the clouds. Thanks for the constructive comment
There is a signiture on the bottom right, but it is very small

It's okay , really art can be interpreted in many ways.
And sorry, important thing is that if there is, sometimes the artists put invisible water marks, not necessarily can be visible, Β that is choice of everyone.

This drawing of the lighthouse you have here is so beauuuutiful and phenomenal!!!!!!!!!

The shading is used very wisely. I can tell that each and every object is darkened to the right degree of shading ^^
As far as resembling the title of the drawing you posted, I agree with , it doesn't look very calm. It does look like a storm is raging or there is an upcoming storm. Maybe for next time, if you were to do a different drawing, lessen the shading in the sky so it gives a calmer atmosphere

This is really awesome. You're very very talented x3

Maybe you're right. The drawing should hint a storm, but maybe it hinted too much

Commenting on behalf of ProjectComment (and for that reason in English; if clarification is needed - I'm German ^^)

A strong picture. I like your texturing through the different stroke 'techniques' you used - the thin, straight lines for the lighthouse; the bold, fractalized lines for the rocks, and the areal contrasts for the clouds. Since I don't use charcoal (it is charcoal, isn't it?), I can't say anything more about the technique with that, the only "technical" comment I have is that the lighthouse sees veeery slightly out of balance, especially the red top.

For the impact the image has, I can say it is very menacing. To me, it isn't calm anymore, there is already a storm raging. If you wanted to have this calm-before-feeling, it would perhaps have been better not to fill the sky directly above the lighthouse with those dark clouds but to do some dark clouds further away at the horizon.

A last thing: I can't discern what that really dark thing in the upper right corner shall be. It looks like a wing torn from a bird.

Overall I think it is a very good image, with impact and feeling. It just doesn't match the title anymore (in my opinion).

I don't know if I should answer in english or german XD. Fuck it, I'll do it in english

It is actually drawn with pencils^^
You're very right about the balance of the lighthouse. About the title, to me it is still calm, because there is still nothing happening. All the clouds are coming together, but they haven't "exploded" in a storm yet, but I totally see your point too. I think it's also a matter of the interpretation of this idiom and your feelings towards it, but I did overhinted the storm, so yeah, you're quite right. Thanks for the constructive comment. I'll definetely keep it mind!

TwiggyTwix [2016-04-24 20:58:23 +0000 UTC]

I really love this piece! I like how you only used red as the one color in contrast to the black and white as it seems like it's signifying the danger ahead for the sailors before the storm arrives. Somewhat unrelated note, but my grandma loved lighthouses, and I could definitely see this picture on her wall if she were still around. Great work!
