Description
So lately I've been trying to get back in tune with a few things I haven't had time to really tend to over the past few months. Like drawing things.. just because. WHAT?! So here's a doodle I started this morning and had a good time expanding throughout the day. The "hanged man" reference may be hard to spot; It's probably too scribbly, but it's the bird. He's upside down (and bent rather unnaturally) with his ankles tied together. Flying! Ur doin' it rong.doodle doodle doodle~~ It's more about the feel of the whole piece though, which is all twisty and symbolic for reasons i've really yet to explain to anyone but me. Here it would seem a bit far out of context and pretty sad anyway. BUT! That's okay, it makes for an interesting looking doodlin'. So I shares it.
(Please nobody use this for coloring practice, by the way > <;; )

You make me want to draw more too.
When I saw the thumbnail in my deviations watch, it reminded me of works in progress by . She has an account here, but the drawings I was thinking of are on her own site, ShadowScapes: www.shadowscapes.com.

"Flying! Ur doin' it rong."
Nearly choked on my cereal for starting to laugh!
I really love the detail in this piece. are those circular things clocks? Or maybe coins?

The hanged man is a tarot card, which is the first thing I thought of. I do not believe this links in, because the hanged man is calm in the face of death. The bird is crying.
It is, however, an amazing picture. Don't stop.

Nice sketch. I looks like the man's tossing away all his coins and the bird's some sort of spiritual guide? Maybe. Beautiful lines.

I agree, it does have a Klimt feel too it. I love the verticals. Hurrr hope to see you soon before homework kicks in.

I love the style, the way the gears sort of turn to birds. Great, fantastic detail in the hands, I really like the way he is positioned, great for the "hanged man".

Its a very powerful piece, even though its not finished. I cant wait for the complete version.
The wheels look sort of like coins, and with the title my first thought was that it was the tarot card featuring Judas, which would make sense, though I dont know if thats what you intended.

I love it! The format of the pic suits it, and the drawing is great. Are you gonna keep it sketchy, or clean it up later? It would be nice to see.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Donno! I'm thinking about leaving the lineart loose, but it might benefit more from being cleaner in some places. I think i'm just gonna keep letting it work itself out and see where it goes. And thanks!

Yeah, I know what you mean! Some pictures are just made to be sketchy. Like this one! I think maybe it will be too ''one of many'' if you cleaned it up. Loose some meaning. I hope you don't mind me using it as an inspiration to look at as my desktop on my cellphone?

I love it! I hope you're planning on finishing it?

Planning to! But often when I plan things, life opens up a cavernous pit beneath my feet and... yeah. But yup, I really want to see this in color.
