Description Yes its a little different from the usual work I do. There is no colour, and its a fantasy piece. Just a couple hours of rough pencil work, with a little pen here and there. A random image that just popped in my head. Didn't bother with any pre or post scan smoothening, just wanted to leave the graphite textures visible.

Stunning shading in the rose, it's almost as if it's poking out of the paper. Very wonderful and caring shading. It produced such and soft 3-dimensional feel. It's amazing how tenderly smooth the subjects in your drawings are. I always feel like I'm being pulled into your dreamland with your astounding methods of shading. Excellent work!

Different from your usual stuff but I like it. The Rose is quality, not to sure about the face on the right but the middle one works really well. the shadows on the lower part are a good touch
