SciFi and Fantasy Art: Haunted House

This was done a few years ago. I saw the house in an old B&W photograph and made up the rest of it.
The pic reminds me a bit of The Whisperer in Darkness by Lovecraft, but I'm not sure whether I had read any of his works back then.

I like the pic but i don't think it looks creepy at all....then again most creepy pics aren't creepy to me.....it takes a lot to make them creepy to me.....

I wanna live there! I wanna live there! I don't mind sharing it with a few ghosts!!! Beautifully drawn, and gosh you sure have a gift with pencilwork!!!

The picture is beautiful 2 I find it quite hard to criticize someone others art because I don't draw perfect myself. But I'll make a try... I think you've caught the perspective great on the front of the house but the rest looks kind of flat. I think the eyes want to see more of the sidewall. Except for that.. I love this picture. I hope to be as good as you are some day.

*looks at pencils with disgust* you bore me, stupid little pieces of mangled qraphite!
Wish my pencils would cooperate like that. *sighs* Although, I think the undivided attention to such intricate detail would kill me after about 2 minutes.

Reminds me of the house in 'texas chainsaw massacre' the one that the chainsawguy hides in... That was a discusting movie by the way... Anyway, this pic gave me the "thrills" (thats a compliment)12

This is a good compostion but the house is very out of perspective dont worry i didnt understand perspective untill 1 year into art school! practice to get this right or it will ruin a very beautiful drawing! try to match the contours of the house up with the same angles on both sides and dont show sides of the house that the eye wouldn't be able to see if you were standing in the foreground

I like it except that the house looks like it's only five feet thick.

It looks like one of those fake 2-D buildings they propped up for western movies.

Is it night or day? The trees in the background are dark yet the trees in the foreground are light.
Speaking of the house, I first got the impression it is of a Georgian design, maybe early 1800's. But I kinda don't get the impression that it is necessarily haunted.
Nice drawing, though.
