Recently I thought how I miss my oil pastel pencils, so I decided to use them for this drawing. And then I remembered why I stopped using them some time ago- they're too grainy to use for small details. So this picture came out not as detailed as I wanted, but at least I got the black/white contrast instead of the usual grey/white.
The whole concept is quite symbolic and could be explained in several ways. I think I'll just leave it for your own interpretations, which I'd be interested to hear.
Tools I used:
*Watercolour paper (I'm still searching for one, which is not so grainy)
*Faber Castell black oil pastel pencil (medium soft)
*Crimson colour pencil
*Clothes and pose inspired by a photo of Amy Lee
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
