Quick sketch 3

I am back! And I gave myself 2 hours to sketch again instead of allotting that to my papers πŸ˜‚ 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

Yes, this is how messy I make on rough sketches. It was still in the making anyways

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 πŸ˜‚) 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

Me neither, though. I think you'll have to use one of those high grade pens, but I can't grasp them, either. I'm too used to the mouse.

I've been using this method since I was a little girl; I don't think it's a common or preferred tool for digital drawing. Especially in today's age.

In the end, you can learn to work with anything, you just have to keep on going.

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

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 πŸ˜‚ but I'm glad i found someone whose words can coincide with my art style.

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)

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

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 πŸ˜‚ alao, i avoid love stories a lot

I stopped when I got into my higher years of college though. It took up too much time and materials. The price was good, i asked for like 15-20usd per piece, usually? Just depends on what they asked for. And majority of them were portraits, thus why
