I've watched you a long time, I come back to look at your work from time to time and I always am brought back to my childhood when my brothers bought comic cards. It's...a classic style to me, the way that you do. No, timeless is a better word to me. It's incredible, you're one of my favorite artists because of the boy with an arrow in his head. I love it so much.
At first glance, this seems like just a great work of art. But I stared at it long enough - it only took me a minute - and I realized something. There's an air of reality to this piece that strikes the viewer, and they might not even realize it. Of course you see that the subject looks sad, possibly hopeful, but from the angle of her eyebrows, more like she's given up. There's the contradiction of the paint-like look, but at the same time, the feeling you've incorporated to cause the viewer to relate, to see your subject as one that is real. Even though the subject has purple hair and lips.
Talent, in art, is being able to make something look real. Hard work, in art, is being able to make something look real and not real at the same time, and still have it be visually pleasing. Obviously, this took both talent and hard work. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I have to say, due to the feel of this drawing, this is my favorite of your works.
