Description
You'll remember me when the west wind movesUpon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
-"Fields of Gold"-Sting-

I tried something new here with the pen outlines. The sketch was originally done in pencil, then gone over with ballpoint pen. The Wanderer's mane, tail, and legs are shaded with pen. I like how it turned out, and want to try something like this with watercolor.

The mane and tail are very powerfully covered they make everything else feel like it needs a lil more.
Great composition!

Hmmm, I'll keep that in mind for the next time I draw in this style. I see what you mean, especially in the mountains?

Yeah the mountains and the trees. More shading for both and lines in the mountains maybe?

The first thing I get from this picture is a wonderful sense of freedom. You portray the movement so well, it looks so free and easy. The mane and tail, especially, are absolutely amazing - I love the way the shine of light flows across them. Absolutely amazing, I truly love this one!

Wow this is really bright-i like it. It also doesn't look cartoonish, which is what happens most of the time when I add a pen outline

It makes me really happy to hear that. I was afraid it might, but I think leaving the pen a little sketchy and lose helped keep that from happening

I love the pen style. I mean, I love just pencil, too, but... I guess they seemed kind of hazy. The pen adds definition.
I love Sting.
And THERE IS TOTALLY BLOODY ROOM FOR A PLATYPUS IN THAT STREAM, DAMMIT!

No there's not! Haha. I don't think I would have made it look very good if I had tried. But...next picture I upload, I PWOMISE there will be a platypus
And I like this style too. I think I may do more with it
