This makes me really sad too. This site is my main means of contact with other artists and I cherish the friendships we’ve developed. Be well, Ayin and Hannah and thank you both for all of the time and energy you put into making this such a wonderful place.
Another quiet, moody piece - love it. I thought she was missing whoever used to keep her company in that chair - maybe a spouse, maybe a cat. The way you connected all the darks makes for a strong composition.
I’m really liking your moody winter flowers, Wayne. They seem to be just as expressive with soft lighting as with direct sunlight. That’s my kind of fancy, formal vase too. 🙂
I’m glad you found a good tutorial, Jade. I’m guessing you need to keep your pencils sharp to do the fur so well. (My hand is slowly healing. I can hold a pencil now but can’t put any pressure on it. It feels like there are a million muscles that need to get stronger.)
