while this is an awesome job you've done. it would simply be a masterpiece if you pushed it further in the inking to capture form. the straight lines really flatten the everything. if you need some inspiration Michaelangelo is your best bet. That's the only thing separating your work from something like that.
Take for instance the girl in the foreground on the right. her arm while having the value you set out for is very flat. If those same lines traveled around the arm to indicate the form, starting and stopping to show highlights, shadows, etc you would have really captured the essence of that particular feature.
I realize this would undoubtedly add countless hours to the rendering but it would all have been worth it. Add form to your work and it will just explode.
Its quite alright not to display this crit. but if you really go for it and develop form on your next piece you'll see the difference.
great piece.

not much to say.. its like you said.. a little ¨overdue¨ but not so much.. I like the round/circular composition.. and.. (this is of my taste) I think theres a lot of contrast between the sky-light and other withe spots -subjects in the front (dunno how to say this word..) plan ,first space,. the most closer space,and the distant plan space,.. (sorry I dont know how to say that) e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="
In the other hand I love the soft and delicated transitions&light -shade, how you did it in the lower first plan(the rabits in the center) and how the nymphs caresses them.
again ..awesome work
my regards

Glad you like it! I have tried very little printing so far. Maybe I will later. What I love about drawing is you're fully in control of how it will look when it's finished, plus it's so accessible: I love sitting in the couch watching a movie or a tv series working on a drawing on my lap.

Øi, øi, øi, så mye fantasisk kunst. Og du er jo ganske ung.
Her spås det en lysende framtid!
Får jeg spørre hva du bruker som tegneredskap?
Cheers!

Hyggelig å høre at du liker det du ser. Jeg bruker pennesplitt på de aller fleste (inkludert denne), og ellers også noe blyant eller kulepenn. Men det er pennesplitt som er favoritten til nå.

Aha, en tradisjonalist!
Ja, jeg ser at det gir et helt annet effekt enn ved å bruke tekniske penner. En slags regelmessig ujevnhet.
Da blir det noe ’gammeldags’ over det. På en god måte, altså. Men ’dipper’ du pennesplitten din eller er det mer avansert enn så?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jeg dypper ja. På gamlemetoden med blekkhus og greier. Det eneste er at det tar sin tid, fordi du må tørke av pennesplitten med jevne mellomrom slik at blekket ikke tørker på tuppen og lager flekker og stygge ting.
