Description This picture took me about 2 months (maybe more). I was bored and sketched a girl with wings . . . later I decided to bring out my ink and pen (it's a special ink pen) and draw it in . . . it got better and better so I started to ask for ideas and received some neat advice. The background is ink-washed and the wings have also had water brushed onto them. The reason it took so long was because the detailed parts (like her back and dress) are done with small dots and stitching . . . I think I lost my mind several times just sitting there dotting the paper (hahah).
The picture is supposed to be symbolic to each and every individual person who sees it . . . .It holds deep meaning to me (like all artist' own work) and I'm proud yet angry at the way it turned out. I am still deciding on the title, so what it is currently called could change.

This is absolutely fantastic. I actually think that the blue hue of the ink wash adds depth to the picture. The color creates a figurative contrast between the girl in the birdcage to the freedom of the what's outside.

Thanks! :3
I too like the way the ink wash appears to have a blue tint to it. I also like the contrast of textures and shades. But I do not like some of the feathers on her wings and in some of the background you can see where I messed up. . . but other than that I like it.

Thanks! I worked hard on it. . . lol I'm unhappy with how it turned out though . . . I (like every artist) will never be able to put to paper what my thoughts come up with *Sigh* it is our curse (hahah )

You are able to see more of her left wing but sadly it was cut of in the scanning process.
