Description
Moleskine journal commission for ~Frau-Schwarz . We built the concept together based on her idea of a goddess related to myths, legends and fairytales. Some inspiration was drawn from the famous Unicorn Tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, rococo ornamentation and the Aragorn/Arwen bridge scene (from the LoTR movies
) for the couple because people of course are the core of myths and legends. 
And this song [link] .A 13x21 cm Moleskine journal, pigment liner, graphite and white pencils and lots of hours.

how did you get the liner to be soft and not ruin the delicacy of the picture? i tried using an inking pen but it came out too harsh and i only wanted to continue if i had the right tool. any specific brands that you recommend? And so beautiful, as always

I'm not sure what to say, i mainly use Staedtler pigment liners (0.05 and 0.1 when i want thicker lines) and the lines look softer when there's pencil added. I'm not sure if that's of any help.
Thanks for your lovely comment.

no, thank you it helped a lot! I found a staedtler pen in a grey color that comes out looking like pencil, but it's ink, so thank you! You are such an inspiration!

Very interesting! Do you actually intend to keep making these? (It does say "creation" of a "journal", so is this the beginning of a series?) Also looked at the song, very beautiful, powerful music. I enjoyed listening to it. It sort of reminded me of Bridge to Terabithia.
