Description 2B, 4B and 6B pencils.

I'm really into reading, so this is based on the idea that characters/events in books can seem just as real as reality except they're so much better.

That's amazing! Like, seriously! I don't know anyone who could do that with a mere pencil! O.O

I love the concept, but the dragon looks kind of stuck, maybe you could add some dynamic

yeah, it's just hard to figure out where the shadows should when I don't have a reference to look at :/

it looks very good already to me, but if you wanted to improve it maybe you could try to color it softly :> or if you wanted it stay black and white, you could refine the shading and add a little more shadows in some parts, like where the pages meet the spine of the book. . . but that is superficial, I already think this is finished.

MiruFujiwara In reply to ??? [2013-12-22 03:27:10 +0000 UTC]

wow this is awesome! i love the shading and it looks very realistic without the smudging. The dragon is brillant and also the letterings of the book. It looks like there is really a dragon there. The cloth shadings look ok, but i cant understand if the book is on top of a loin cloth or something? Great work! love it!

frostyshadows In reply to MiruFujiwara [2013-12-22 03:31:24 +0000 UTC]

thanks for giving detailed feedback! I put the book on a random piece of cloth because a lot of still lifes have folded cloth in the background, and I really wanted this artwork to look like a twist on a regular, boring still life composition. I'll try to fix up the shading I'm a bit rough about shading large areas sometimes

Love the concept, especially the the words morphing into the dragon.
Criticism: NONE, keep doing what you are doing, if you set your goals higher than you think you are capable of, you will achieve even greater heights.
