Artist's Comments

A drawing that actually fit into my scanner!!! XD Anymore my works are bigger than my dinky little scanner. I love the sweeping motions your arm makes when you work on larger drawings-most of my art I can't really scan in. But this little drawing was fun and uplifting.

Lightning, thunder, rain. I wanted to create a storm horse with yellow, orange, blue and white, combine then together and they're quite a sight. His chest cavity forges lightning.

My teacher liked the idea (I'm taking a drawing class for fun) and I needed a quick drawing to warm me up for the semester. I'm looking forward to the storms returning and hopefully my desire to work on some art!

If this was a pokemon it would be a combination of Rapidash and Pikachu. I live in the midwest and during most of the summer we have these awesome thunderstorms. You watch them form all day until around 4 o'clock, and they start to look menacing.

Mediums: Pastels on pastel paper.
Time: 30-40 minutes.

With Hands Held High Into A Sky So Blue As The Ocean Opens Up To Swallow You...
:icontinuviels-song:
Awesome! :heart:

We have those thunderstorms too. The sky goes all black and the light goes greeny-yellow and the winds gets really cold and scary feeling. You can practically feel the electricity in the air. I love them(as long as it's not at night, cause then it's scary and it's so bright I have trouble sleeping) until they knock the power out, then it's war.

"And yet my heart wanders away my soul roams with the sea, the whale's home, wandering to the widest corners of the world, returning ravenous with desire, flying solitary, screaming, exciting me to the open ocean, breaking oaths on the curve of a wave."

Immediately upon seeing the thumbnail, I loved the colours, they really pop. But the texture is fabulous; I love how you allowed the paper to bring its own feeling into the picture.

Also, love the horse. You're quite good at bringing them to life.

I quiet like the lightening shine and the yellow highlights and shadows. I'm not going to hug him though ... i quiet like not having tingly pins and needles in my hands and feet lol

Very nice. I like how this one doesn't have definitive outlines. It's a beautifully integrated piece. Nicely done. :)
