Description it's finally here. my 1st traditional deviation.
& it's no masterpiece I know.
for a while now I've been following a couple of art classes & trying more traditional techniques.
this piece is such ab experiment in working with ink & watercolor.
it's a dipiction of a scene from the fairytale about a young man who set-out to learn what fear was.
the drawing & inking were done a little to fast & rough for my liking (especially the hanging corpses) & the scanning proces doesn't do the piece much good.
but I am still a bit proud of my little classic fairytale illustration.
looking forward to your comments.

Oh my gosh! The Man Who Learned to Shiver! I love this tale! I have the 1943 edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales from my grandfather. This story is a good read for anyone who wants a good chill. 
Great work! I love how you depicted this scene!

This is both creepy and quite beautiful at the same time. I love all the colors you used, and the shape of the tree is great, very unique. Nice texture in the sky too.

thank you very much for your comment.
it was a lot of fun to mix & apply those colors.
the sky was a difficult one to get right.
I'm glad you like it.
I deff want to make more of these ink & watercolor illustrations in the future.
cheers!

Love you classic horror fairy tale touch.But i know that you could do more than this my friend.Still this creates the mood.You should redo this if you have enough time .

many thanks.
you are totally right I really could do this one better.
it really was a quick study piece & the biggest reason I put it on here was that it was the 1st traditional piece I could scan in half decently.
so maybe in the future youll see more & better works like this aside from my digital pieces.
cheers!

thank you very much for your comment.
the corpses didn't have much planning.
I do like the upper one the best myself.
cheers!
