Quick sketch 3
I am back! And I gave myself 2 hours to sketch again instead of allotting that to my papers 😂 but since this day was way too stressful, I think I deserve sketching time at least. This time, I want to fulfill what I told @marcmire about giving life to one of his texts. It was hard to choose from because all of them gave clear images in my head and I wanted to justify the passages properly if I ever did sketch them. In the end, I decided on River of Styx which is this article below: https://read.cash/@marcmire/river-of-styx-2a919366 It's good and it's one of his first posts here So on with the sketch. For this one, I used charcoal that I also dislike using but since charcoal provided a solid color, I thought it would fit what I was thinking
I had two types of charcoal sticks, a light one and a dark one. I only use these two because I tend to really do solid colors when I use charcoal. Some only stick with the medium shaded stick though and I think that's fine but since my hands are too light, I need to use the extremes in shades
Slowly, I shaded things in part by part, though it doesn't look like much but now theres the questioning lady about to be taken to River Styx (probably me 😂) then charon who is the ferryman of the river. It lacks elements from the poem like the gates of hell and Cerberus but I did this at 10 pm :"" no more brain cells plus hard to draw a three-headed dog :<
I do feel like I could have added more details onto the water and maybe added floating soals in the water but this is what can be done in 2 hours before I sleep. I hope @marcmire will enjoy this and hopefully it's close enough to what could have been done for the short passage

wowwww very artistic!
Still don't like messy charcoal though :"(
pretty good concept.... i like the concept more than the whole art.... you are a creative preson👌👌👌
Thank you! I hope you took the time to see the passage which was actually the inspiration for this piece 😊😊 That deserves a lot of recognition too
You are experienced.
I've had my years exhibiting art too ^-^
Nice art❤️❤️ this is really amazing
Thank you ohi-san!
Oh my, you really have a good sense of art, not gonna lie. I'm flattered to see one of my works come to life, and I appreciate for taking the time for it. I do agree that the details on the water can make it better. But, overall, the scenery is amazing. Calm but disturbing kind of vibe.
2 hours and a sleepy kid isn't really the best combination but then i hope it fits the concept enough? Well that's the image I got from reading a lot of your stuff. A lot felt eerie but in the subtlest of ways that you'll only get when you actually focus on the other elements. Hopefully I can do a few more because your writing really puts vivid images in my head and I kinda wish a lot more people would see that too
Hahaha, art itself is subjective. I'm just happy that you're taking time to understand my works, and I very much appreciate that.
I agree with that. And right now I'm on a 50-50 if i should be happy or not that a lot of people find this piece eerie and scary I feel this is a good collaboration in the making 😂 but I'm glad i found someone whose words can coincide with my art style.
Hahaha, they totally are wrong but anyways, it's a matter of perception. Hmm, I'm pretty much game for that. :D
I find it peaceful though. The kind of peace you should get with death and while watching charon row Stay tuned for whatever random text of yours I'll reinvent next 😂😂
I agree. Hahaha, will be looking forward to that.
his drawing is very well done, he experiences a feeling of cold and loneliness, of tragedy, I don't know what happened to me but I felt that. it scared me, (excuse me)
Couldn't capture hopelessness enough on this. Probably a change in position for the woman would've worked The image scared you?
A good artist can be understood by his/her drafts. I see that you are really good artist 😌 Awesome dear :)
Thank you ^-^ i gained it through experience but i still think my draft gets messy af when I'm in this much of a rush
You did great here ❤️
Thank you
The art itself is amazing, speciathe reflection part where the ratio of them to their reflections in the water are the same. ❤❤
I was just basing the reflection on my imagined point of view though. Here, it was landscape so it needed to be proportional at least or a little shorter works
What was your idea behind it, what were you thinking. This artwork is deep. I really hope you were optimistic while drawing it coz this picture to me shows alot of meanings
It was based on the text of @marcmire one of his first ones entitled river of styx But as for the sketching process... well my depression played a huge role in this 😂
Awww. I hope you are better now. Means you can draw based on stories as well. I want one for me as well then. I'm planning to write about my love story soon and I will really appreciate it if you can show an illustration of it based on your thoughts 😊
I only draw what I can imagine so it will either revolve on a specific scene or it will just be abstract. It really depends on how specific and how emotional you can be for me to draw it 😂 alao, i avoid love stories a lot
What if the love story comes is more of a suspense and a thriller. I still don't know how to put it in words lol. Lets see how much i can manage to impress you lol
We'll definitely get to see. Well feel free to tag me in that story when you've posted it
Will do thanks 😇😇😊😊
Nice sketch And also deep meaning
Thank you ^-^
Oh em gee. This looks creepy😭 don't wanna be in that boat. Anyways, the sketch is super amazing💕
I wonder how it's creepy? Looks peaceful to me though? But thank youuu
It really is hahahaha. Maybe something that's monotonic gave you comfort
Maybe? I just like how still it looks there
You really are something aren't you? 😂 Well, anyways, the sketch is great💕 it reminds me of the movie percy jackson as they went towards the underworld
Oof i hope that's a good thing ;-; I didn't think of that- I could have checked that out for reference sake
No need to check for the reference, you already did great even without one💕 i love your imagination
It's really beautiful. 💗
But i hope you see how charcoal works?
Yeap dear. Next time i will follow the instractions. Thanks for it.😇
Not really instructions but start eith which shade of charcoal works with how heavy or light your hands are
Yeap. And it's really a good instraction for me. 😊 I will do it in my next art.🌹
Ohh I'll look forward to that then
Okay dear.❤
You did a lot in yep hours and it's great to see what is possible and how the drawing develops. I wonder if you make drawings on request, can make a living out of it. 🍀💕
I used to? I did a lot of commission work growing up because I'm a bit prideful with asking may parents for money and all. So i did that and it developed my art style per medium a lot
Wow I love this 😀 and I hope you still have my request in mind although you are busy I do hope to see it someday
I... kinda forgot that request 😂 i barely remember anything these days but what was that again? So i can get to it soon?
