Description Spirit Guardians watch over us,
As they carry our souls into the skies,
They fly high as our breath is lost,
And returns to the ghost of the earth.

Time: Over the course of a day.
Tools: Pencil crayon (coloured pencils). The sky was done digitally.

Image and phrase (c) Five-Aces (me)

**NOTE**

I agree with those who say the tail is too short I wish I could fix it, but it's pencil crayon. Plus I don't have any good software tools to help me fix it.

And for those of you who are wondering...that is an ANTLER

Ooooh! That is so pretty! I never knew anyone that could draw a crow that good with just colored pencils and crayons! Dang, I could swear you used other things in that drawing, lol. Very Nice!

Haha that's alright! Crows, ravens, nearly the same

Haha, I was thinking that it might be a raven. "Hmm, it looks kinda like a raven, but I think it's a crow" lol. Arn't ravens bigger than crows?

Excellent background. I'm not good at backgrounds. Therefore, the fact that you have a background, and a very good one, at that, makes me jealous...

The anatomy of the raven, and the detailing on his(her?) feathers, are both amazing. It's difficult to draw black subjects, and you did well, very well

My only complaint is that although each feather is shaded gorgeously, perfectly, the raven is not shaded as a whole, as well, which makes him(her?) look a little.. just a little... flat. In the future (although, not to this-- it's fine as is) you might want to keep in mind that scaled and feathered things are one large, shaded object that happens to be made up of smaller objects.. I'm going to shut up now, before I stop sounding like I know what I'm talking about.

I...semi-appreciate your critique, although I didn't really want it But that's okay. Keep it mind for me, it is hard to shade a bird as a whole with the tools I have at my disposal (crappy, 5 year old pencil crayons) I try to define it as much as I can. Thanks anyways, I like my style of feather/scaleness

I'm sorry. I missed the big red x. I did, actually.
I've been sort of stupid lately, again, I'm really sorry.

Taking into account that you did it with crappy old pencil crayons, that adds a new level to it's amazing-ness. Good job, then.

lmao that's alright. I do appreciate it though, it helps if I ever go to do something in the future. I'm starting to finally list what I use in my art now, because some people miss the fact it's done in pencil crayon XD Thank you so much for your advice!

moonlit-dung In reply to Five-Aces [2006-01-17 03:59:31 +0000 UTC]

Still...
I feel bad. I've really no clue how I missed that X. It's not like it wasn't glaringly obvious or anything.

It doesn't look like that, either. You're very good at it.

You're welcome
