Instalment one in my new series. Look everyone! A drawing from me! This means A: I have a scanner in my possession, and B: I'm finally home after a year's absence, though I will have a full course load when university is back in session.
Anyhow, about the drawing. This is the first in what will be a many-part series of music spirits. This is Violin, as you can see, and yes, I got some violin proportions off. I just found that out, but it's so heavily dark with the graphite, that fixing it will ruin the whole picture, so I will have to live with the mistake.
There comes a time in nearly every fantasy artist's career when they try their hand at an Art-Nouveau inspired piece. Well, here you have it: My first try. Hence the heavily outlined figure.
This piece will be done totally in mechanical pencil on 8.5 by 11" sketchbook paper. I've upgraded, though - you can't see through this paper!
Hope you all enjoy it so far.

It's good to see people again for me too. It wasn't really a year off - I was working and doing textiles. I just had no scanner while I was gone (I sent your commission from there).
But I've been pretty good. How are you? I should be able to get some more drawing time in with being back in university rather than at work. I have more work area here at this house, and better lighting - so I don't have to sit for hours in an uncomfortable position straining my eyes in order to complete a drawing - you know?
Anyhow, I'm close to actually being finished this picture now, so I'm going to get back at it. It's so great to see notes from my friends again.
I wish I could make posters, but I never get any requests for purchases, so I end up just losing money on them. I'm just not well known enough as an artist, I guess - but that's my own fault, for not self-pimping enough.
Again - I'm glad your better now. Hopefully you can get back on your feet and stop stressing so your body catches up to proper health. My best wishes to you, luv.
As usual, beautiful work. ^^ I love the textures of the dress.
Sorry I've been gone so long. I'll be trying to make a good comeback now, as best I can.
Welcome back!
Thanks for the welcome back!
