Description I decided to submit this by itself, since it's something... different: It's an earnest attempt at drawing a background, and a scene, at that! I've been sketching out potential and established scenes from the infamous "pallanoph novel" between commissioned paintings/etc. (I'm so slow, I should seriously be shot.) I liked illustrating this little moment so much I have intentions of putting it in the book: So here is Adelaide, the young girl, and Nharath the pallanoph crossing near a waterfall.

I know, it's not in color, and it's only a sketch, but... Deal with it. You don't have to keep me on your devwatch, you know. I'll be showing you more hideous, drab and scruffy paintings at some point in the future: I just need time and motivation in excess.

Oh. Would any of you mind seeing a sketchdump? I can put one together if there's enough interest, and will probably spam you anyway. Because I'm heartless and really don't care.

No. Really.

Graphite tinted in photoshop; original version is about 13"x 5.5". It looks better small, I think.

Thanks! I still feel I don't have nearly enough experience with drawing trees... the branches are a little weird still, but I'll learn. Eventually.

This is a really charming scene, if you ever do plan to colour it I imagine it would look amazing! But the sketch is sweet enough itself

And, yes please for sketch dump!

It would make an awesome color study. I should really play around with lighting more...

This is actually really pretty.
>.> whatever you already know your art is badass and that everyone wants to see your sketch dump.

I mostly feel guilty for not finishing things very quickly, and not everyone shares my fondness for sketches.

Not everyone does things quickly. I suppose its not really an excuse but it is true.
Sketches have alot of character and are very raw in showing the artists style.
I enjoy sketches as much as i enjoy a clean finished piece.

Thanks! I notice I have issues with composition now and again, so it's good to hear I haven't completely lost it, hehe.
