Beautiful work! Love that you left it like this, to me the thing with the unfinished feel always conveys something like a memory from the past, like an element of a bigger whole. It is a very weird mortal thing, I think H.P. Lovecraft had a quote relating to this. 
Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the thoughtful comment! i agree with the quote. most things have a sort of unfinished quality in our minds when we first see them. we get an impression, sometimes that impression stays without careful study. even with careful study the model in our mind has a quality of impressionism. it can be frustrating sometimes, but sometimes those limitations give us a glimpse of how the mind works. i recently read a study about this very thing. i'll try to find it. basically they had people try to draw a bike from memory and another was drawing the united states from memory. naming all the states and their location. it was pretty interesting how the mind fills in the blanks.
thanks again for the comment! :3 i enjoy your works a lot as well, and enjoy your processes. i'm sure you can tell by all the likes though, right? haha. <3

Very good train of thought here! This is the same thing I try to tell everyone who wants to start drawing (and they wont because they think they can't become good which is nonsense... I also started out scared and was barely able to do stick figures haha). If someone trains it's mind's eye and have a basic interest in the world around him/her then the person will succeed in drawing for sure because basically that is what we do. We look at things, store it in our brain and in the meantime get inspired by all the information and stimuli we harvested. The interesting thing in all of this is what you said also "how the mind fills in the blanks" now this is the reason why everyone (through years of practice of course) will have a distinctive style, something that just says : oh I know these strokes, this atmosphere...I know! This is xy! We all have a different notion of our world visually, not in the big picture sense but I don't think my perception of blue matches the blue that my neighbour percieves as blue. It is weird and fascinating.
No problem, and I thank you also for watching my stuff glad that you like them! Of course! I know almost all of my active watchers by just running through a stack of recently faved works, it is just getting harder to get back to you lovely people!
