shadows

I finished it. I thought of this while listening to “Shadows of Mouldwood” from the “Ori and the Will of the Wisps” soundtrack. It’s a protector. Not the good kind. Don’t tell him about the kids that bully you, or the teacher that made you stay after school, or how your father beat you with his belt. When he asks you what you need, just tell him, very politely, you don’t need any help, and make sure you do it convincingly. Because he really wants to help.

I started this last night during my ArtShare on my Discord.  At first, he looked like a generic wolf character, but then I got silly and decided to redraw him as a tiger, which added like 3 hours, since I'd never drawn a realistic tiger head.  I also didn't use a reference for the snake, so I understand if it's not quite right.  I will upload a version with dark shadows soon. I began drawing this in response to watching the title sequence to an 80's cartoon, "The Get Along Gang."  Do with that information what you will :D.

Mirrors. Shadows. Perception of self. What should have been. Could have been. Still is.

Shadows follow but I will move on! I have PTSD, so I am tormented by my past. Anxious for what's behind me. But I won't let that stop me! I may have "Lead in my shoes" (Dutch "Lood in mijn schoenen"), sometimes feel empty while on other times I am red from anger, nothing will stop me moving on. There will be temporary throwbacks, progress is not linear, but I will get there. I won't drown in self-pity this time.

Pencil Drawing

Hi I’m an a beginner artists.Im not so good at drawing but I love to create digital art with a stylus and on paper with a pencil.Im trying to get better and this is the first drawing I’m posting on this website.I will try to post art frequently.I would love to hear your opinion on my drawings so I can get better.

This is the first sketch where I felt confident that I could capture the lights and shadows. I jumped in joy when it looked like a droplet :)

[Intro] (D-D-Dark side) [Verse 1: Tomine Harket] We're not in love We share no stories Just somethin' in your eyes Don't be afraid The shadows know me Let's leave the world behind [Chorus: Tomine Harket] Take me through the night Fall into the dark side We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless Let go of the light Fall into the dark side [Post-Chorus: Tomine Harket] Fall into the dark side Give in to the dark side Let go of the light Fall into the dark side[Verse 2: Au/Ra] Beneath the sky As black as diamonds We're runnin' out of time (Time, time) Don't wait for truth To come and blind us Let's just believe their lies [Pre-Chorus: Au/Ra] Believe it, I see it I know that you can feel it No secrets worth keepin' So fool me like I'm dreamin' [Chorus: Tomine Harket & Au/Ra] Take me through the night Fall into the dark side We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless Let go of the light Fall into the dark side [Post-Chorus: Tomine Harket & Au/Ra] Fall into the dark side Give in to the dark side Let go of the light Fall into the dark side[Bridge] (D-D-Dark side) (Dark side) (Dark side) (Dark side) [Chorus: Tomine Harket & Au/Ra] Take me through the night Fall into the dark side We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

This one I designed when I was 7 years old,hence the silly name and simple design,but effective......I Recently stumbled upon yugioh card "ryu kishin" and really liked pose he was drawn in,so I tried to redraw my Vampis in that pose while using ink and polychromos colored pencils. I always imagined Vampis being some kind of mischeavius minion using shadows to move around doing all sort of childish pranks,like throwing rocks at windows,or setting houses on fire....it's one of the two monsters that I remember from young age and I kept redrawing him every year or so.

Digital art illustration about lights and shadows.

A protector. Not the good kind. I thought of this while listening to "Shadows of Mouldwood" from the Ori and the Will of the Wisps soundtrack.

My friend Steve from the art studio suggested we do studies in blue in honor of the #lightitblue campaign. Just when I was needing some inspiration! These are the late afternoon tree shadows at the foot of my garden.

I was skeptical whether I could get the inner and outershadows of the avocade but I did it. And the texture of the paper helped a lot. Kudos to me!!!

When I didn’t know what to paint while hiking, I closed in on a random spot to appreciate the shadows and tree branches of nature’s real-life camo

Continuous line work with shadows for layers. Figure laying on side looking at you….

Color sketch of the character Barnabas Collins

I never imagined I could capture so much emotion in an eye—especially on just my second attempt. This piece came to life through intuition more than technique. The values, the shadows, the highlights… they felt like they found their place on their own. Maybe emotion, light, and shadow have always spoken to me—I just finally listened.

Hard shadows, floating lights.

Decided to attempt at working with shadows on a small self-portrait

My tribute to my good friend who died earlier this year. Another white pastel on black paper. Not my favourite media but I love the effect of it. I need to practice more as I can't get my head around working on negative lol, erasing to get shadows and filling in to get highlights etc. I used a chunky white stick and a white pastel pencil but detail still eludes me lol. It's a technique I need to refine. It's the second picture of a dead person I've put on, apart from humph, so I'm a cheery little soul aren't I lol? Thanks for looking

Here we go again! Yesterday's one hour produced this lovely darling :) We don't have enough fanart with ShadowSearphimon! I just adore the design of this Digimon. Considering this was my first ever try to draw him, I'm pretty happy with the result ^-^ though there are certainly some things to be improved. Please enjoy anyway! - Crypto

Horrid ways for which sorrow follow further down the dim lights of life. What lines must be crossed as glass seem to puncture minds swollen? A strangeness emerges beneath our shadows.
