Artist's Comments

So this is my entry for the Colors with a Meaning Contest [link]
Apparently the color I chose is grey. Grey is my favorite color because it's cold, kind of elegant and -what I like about it the most- unobstusive :P
It's also the color that I associate november with, so I tried to make it look the way that I feel about this month.
I know I've drawn flowers and the girl has short sleeves, but that was intended. I like antagonism and I really wanted to create coldness through colors and not through objects.


4 days, felt tip pen, Copic Multiliner and Copic Marker on copy paper.

I hope you like it :)


EDIT:
-Open Casket Funeral- :icongyroscope: came up with that wunderful alternate title. He's a very talented man of letters, take a look at his website [link]

amazing, poignant, insanely well done! there is coldness yet the coolness only adds to the overwhelming feeling of something passing away, hibernating.. fall. anyway I can rant for days, I love this piece!

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived. -Jean-Luc Picard :dalove: unknownartistsclub

this is so beautiful, i love the pastel colors you chose and all the detail. :)
:iconquaintness:
Beautiful! I am born in November, but I associate November with gold/yellow because that is the birthstone colour. :)

The dimensions are so lovely (sometimes hard to do with contour work.) I also think the dot texture on her skin is very interesting. All in all, amazing work. :+fav:

Sehr schön geworden.
Neben Passed gefällt mir das am Besten.
Ich muss ~viridianeye Recht geben, die "Sommersprossen" auf ihrer Haut machen sie noch interessanter.
Du bekommst die Haare immer so toll hin.
Die vielen kleinen Blüten gefallen mir auch super und sehen getrocknet aus, was mir aber sogar besser gefällt, da dadurch die Kälte nochmal betont wird.

Und ja, ich wäre an "work in progress" Bildern interessiert. ^^

Oh, sorry, ich hab nicht absichtlich auf neutral geklickt.
:iconthundercake:
This is a very November-like image indeed :) I really admire how precise your lines are!

Ну-ка, от винта!

gefällt mir wieder mal sehrsehr gut, obwohl ich auf den ersten blick die oberweite als etwas verrutscht empfinde...

ich liebe das gesicht, die blumen[das muss ja mal ne heidenarbeit gewesen sein] und die ganzen stoffe [da hätte ich längst den überblick verloren...]

finds auch sehr interessant, wie die farbzuordnungen bei monaten so aussehen, für mich ist der november zB eher braunrötlich
