I know what everyone's going to say- add darker values. And I agree, but don't add many. I love how this picture seems so dreamy and far away... a couple darker tones in certain places would improve it but overall I definately like it. It's odd, but great.

Tell me:
where do you think those darker tones should be placed?

I really like the concept of this, but I agree about some harder tonal range and contrast. Cool work! +8

I think the darker tones should be placed somewhere on the drawing itself..
Its the best I can do man.. Im a photographer

it´s an interesting work. dont know exactly why but i want to see it with colors!

Yeah, I dislike the contrast too.
I did the whole thing with a B1 and I can't get it done better with this.
Maybe I'll buy a B4 and try to overwork everything...

Thanks, A-H. I'd be lost without you. But say it earlier next time. I already blackened my forehead, before you came up with this!

teseracto, I had the same thought. But I spare my pleasure for colour for another piece I'm doing right now.
Maybe I'll put it inside the PMO section...

a great idea, I like it a lot! +7

Well, there is nothing really left to say
Great concept

There's always something left to say

Thanks for the encouragement.

"where do you think those darker tones should be placed?"

in the foreground

it would give it more depth.

anyway. nice picture... pretty surreal character you have there.

not bad, just agree with the more tonal ranges ...

Edited!

The drawing is good but I have to say that it looks a little too bright. Even though you edited it, I am sure that if you make some areas even darker it won't harm the drawing at all and will make it look a lot better. I don't know if it is my monitor....but I can hardly tell if there is a sky. I can see it a little bit but not that much.
As I said the drawing is good but I think it still needs some more work.

*sigh*...

pretty cool.. keep it up

Well I guess it's the monitor,
because it looks great on mine.
I see the sky also.
PC s
or darker then a Mac s.
Anyway I like the picture very much.
It has a air of mystery to it.

this is so beautiful..i love your drawings, they have this tim burton kind of twisted dream feel, hehe
real nice work on the trees..and the little weird details you added here and there, like the skinny cat with the eerie shadow. i wouldn't make the tones darker, i think it looks just right with everything being so bright. it adds to the atmosphere. more people should appreciate your strange style
+9/9

Thank you for your kind words.
Even the dark circle around my eye smiles now.

Wow -- beautiful concept!
+All the points I have!

that is a weird place she is in! Nice drawing. The anatomy is off as is some of teh perspective but I actually like that! Gives it something different, would have been boring if everything looked perfect! Nice one

I know that some people will yell "Yeah... sure!" at the screen now, but the anatomy was exactly what I was aiming for.
I wanted to make her somewhat twisted. I made so many anatomy studies the past month that I got sick of it.
I actually made it when I had a hangover from drinking too much vodka. That's always a good time for making pictures.

well, I've spent about 20 hours inking this effin thing. I totally love this drawing, but I think it just needed a little more "umph" to portray the full impact....we will see if I helped it any...

cool drawing +8

This idea has good potential. The twisted figure actually added character to this composition. Pardon me being late...I thought I already commented on this one.
Well done Benjamin

Just for the ones who don't know:

Check out Deans inked version:
She Was Swathed In Sarrow by  deankuhta

This is an order! Resistance is futile!

i just saw this off dean's page. absolutely awesome work man.

hey, check out the comment i left on She Was Swathed In Sarrow by deankuhta
there's something about your drawing also
cheers!

I can see why Dean wanted to ink this one, It shows a lot of potential, but like everybody said, It's too bright.

Great concept anyway, cheers for that!

There was no concept and there still is none.
