Deep Breath

Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
A lion-heart.

Of Monsters and Men ~ 'King and Lionheart'


Hi,
Lately there were quite a few changes in my daily life and I couldn't really get down to beloved pencils for as much time as I would've really wished to. And I really missed you here on dA!! However, this also inspired a new drawing, which is all about new discoveries.

This one took a while and it was quite a challenge, both for new objects, like fur, and for new techniques - combining charcoal with graphite (for the first time!), but I'd like to believe it was worth it. I hope you enjoy it, as much as I enjoyed creating it.

It's based on a very inspiring photograph by the talented photographer Sam:

WIPs might be coming soon, just have to stick them nicely together
Please let me know if it appears too light or too dark on your monitor.

Have the most amazing Spring
