There is nothing more or nothing less.....

It has its beginning and its ending.....

I like the orange web at the bottom left contrasting against the dark empty space where it could lead to the place of eternal ....there is so much more than anybody could imagine. The dark hollow eyes are just giving the sense of sadness into this work just like an uncontrollable fear of the deeply hidden pain that this world seems to take it inside out at every living moment.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful work.

Is it the beginning of nothing or the end of something? If you start from the bottom up, the colors fade and there's less design, and then there's blank. It's beautiful, and I'm sorry I haven't commented in a while, it's just that I usually have nothing intellegent to say!

Oh, but I really like your comments, and I do appreciate them!
This drawing I started with a lot of creative energy, but every time I wanted to go on drawing I felt some kind of resistance. After almost 4 weeks of "trying" to go further, I gave up one day and decided that it was finished! : ) In my mind it was finished, indeed, although it looks really empty. But that`s how I felt in that time... All my drawings are expressive.
Thanks again for taking time and looking at it!

now--now---we know better then that. Beginning of nothing? lol

I would like to see you do more with this---it's so good right now.
I see where it can go and I'm sure you can too.

I take that back if this unfinished look is what you want---then by all means leave it alone

blackonwhite In reply to Stepbeyond [2007-06-18 06:56:13 +0000 UTC]

: ) At the certain point I couldn`t add any single line to it. I left it unfinished. But it is finished, indeed. I have some empty spots in my mind and sometimes they come out, instead of all the images that are usually running out to the paper. : )
The "April" was colorful. It was the beginning of something. Unfinished "May" become "The Beginning of Nothing". Both are nothing but the reflection of my life.

Thank you so much, Stephen!

Not as detailed as I'm used to seeing from you but wow does this impact the senses. I keep going back to look & see what I might have missed. Gorgeous gorgeous work hon !!!

tightpantslover [2007-06-08 12:46:44 +0000 UTC]

Wow, Ivana, there is so much to see in what at first appears to be so minimal. I love that cow in the middle and the fish's tail as well, and the way you have introduced a small amount of colour so powerfully!

this is absolutely fantastic! very Dali - esque, don't you agree? I love the hint of colors peering out at the bottom, it really draws your eye toward it!

beautiful!

Great use of whitespace Ivana. Your shading work is shown off really well on this one.. especially in the bottom left face... the texturing is fantastic.

It's been a while, hasn't it? It's a piece worth waiting all in all, but I quite dislike the composition as there is no hormony in it. You have donr some really brilliant work and I wonder are they all personal or some of them are commercial?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

blackonwhite In reply to SamChinaboss [2007-07-11 13:20:34 +0000 UTC]

All of these drawings are personal. I draw because I feel need to do it. Thus, they are not commercial.
Thank you very much for your reaction. I always like to hear your opinion.
