'If thee should fall down into that watery grave, the light doth attend thee, and she will bind thee in her cold embrace...to lie forever more.' This picture is pen and ink. I realize my bodies are not to scale or correct, but those sorts of things don't worry me much I like balance of dark and light more than correctness. I should work on that more.

good god this musta taken forever...i like it though...the shades of gray are my favorite too cuz I also suck with colors even though i try...

:-) Aubry Chapman replies: "Color...ugh..yeah I feel that pain. 12 I love black and white work, but maybe if I had a talent for color I would love it too. I wish that the picture had scanned in better..the lines didn't turn out ver crisp. Oh well."

This is beautiful! I think color would ruin this, it is great as it is now, this isn't just a nice drawing, this is art!

:-) Aubry Chapman replies: "Wow Thank you very much! 2 I think this is a black and white only pic as well...but there are times I wish I was accomplished in color! "

Wow, the hair is spectacular! I think I have finally met my match in inkwork patterns 2 Very nice!

:-) Aubry Chapman replies: "Ah Martin, thank you...and that was pretty good work there, you praised me and you got to stick in a plug for your own work too. GOOOO MARTIN! 2 Ps...plug for a fave of mine, FANTASTIC b&w artwork...go to Peter Town's gallery here on elfwood....he is amazing! 2 I haven't had time to look at your work properly but I will. Until that time thank you again! "

Very nicely done, color would have surely ruined this! Great picture though. I especially liked the backround. Nice.

I think you did fine with the bodies. And you do a fantastic job with the balance between light and dark. It's a very sensual picture too. *thumbs up*
