SF&F Picture 9 out of 91 by Elizabeth Bartlett.

I so want to be her!!! She's sitting in a little fabric hammock chair thing, and she's reading the Bible. I love it. I'd never really drawn a peaceful look on someone's face, and I wanted to convey a sense of peace, joy, and restfulness. You might notice that there is light coming from the Book. ::sigh:: So happy...anyway, I know it's not one of my best, but I like it. Drawn at school with pencil, gone over with ballpoint pen, and colored with a few pencils I had. **Update!** New color, yet again, and a lighting effect to boot. ^_^

7 Jul 2004	Lindsay Hanna	Loading... Wow.. so peaceful... sigh I love how you got her dress to be all gauzy and stuff; It's quite pretty. Such a tranquil piece- I do think it's her expression that completes it. Well done! Elizabeth Bartlett replies: "Thank you!! ^_^ I'm so glad you like it! I like her expression, too. Thanks again!"

17 Jun 2006	Jamie M. Arenas	Loading... Just wanted to let you know that I saved this picture, as well as "Bound." I won't try to pass them off as mine or sell them or anything wierd....I just like having them accesible. If you mind, send me an email. Elizabeth Bartlett replies: "Aww, thanks! ::grin:: I'm honored. "
17 Jun 2006	Jamie M. Arenas	Loading... I like how you got the peaceful feeling across in her face. There are some technical/anatomical errors, but unlike with some artists, everything else you do outweighs the technical mistakes! This is beautiful. I wish I could sit on a hammock and read peacefully...but even if I had a hammock, I would get seasick. >.< The greenery is my favorite part of this picture. It may not be photo-realism, but there's something about it - partially the nifty light effect ^^ - that makes me feel like I'm looking at real plants. Purdy! ^0^ Elizabeth Bartlett replies: "Wow, thanks! Yeah, this is a really old picture...but I'm glad people still like it! I'll bet if I tried to do another version now that the anatomy would be better. Thank you!"
