Calmness

I had a dream past few months.
I dreamt of many gorgeous water lilies and glowing fireflies.
They really made me felt very peaceful.
I spent time with them longer.


Then... I woke up late and sighed deeply desperately.
I'm not completely calm yet.

Choose one for the next post: Mall's Art Diary: Maturity (personal pencil drawing on paper) or Cat Guardian II (pencil on wood)? I'll take care of my dearest weak sick mama at her apartment tomorrow. I'll reply to all of you through email when I'll be back.
Good night, guys.

suupppeerrrr stunning, Mall! *0* I love the tones, details, everything! hahaha, it's so hard to choose one either maturity or cat guardian II for the next post! Hmmm..... I want both! XD But... maybe... cat guardian! XD it's up to you, master! :P

Hope your mom will get better soon! :)

Hi May Ann,
It is Jennifer Zivoin. Is your mom sick? Is she ok? How are you doing?

Love
Jennifer

Oh, It is Jennifer again,
As for your next drawing, I vote for "Maturity". I really love your black and white pencil works.

Calmness is extremely fabulous, lovely Freckle. You have a great persistence because you never stop making more drawings! Of course, I want, I want maturity! Can't wait to see it! :D

I notice that you're using heavier emphasis on perspective, dark and light contrast, silhouette, and negative space balance. Despite all the detail given to the bg elements, your character stands out quite easily to the eye (Lighter use of shading on the skin mixed with the shadow placed under the butt is good balance). The way the dark/light tones are used on the flower petals helps bring out the shapes. The texturing on the lilies (I'm just noticing this now) are really quite nice; 3-D but also caricaturized in a Mall sort of way. Very nicely done.

Your development collages are always fun to look at as well. Informative.

My vote would be: maturity.

hello mall, I found your site through my twin's blog (k's la la land) and i just wanted to say i really love your drawings! I love to see the works in progress too, it always fascinates me to see pencil drawings bring a page to life.

Hopefully you will find calmness again. It might seem difficult or out of reach at the moment, but you will sit again next to the lilies and the fireflies *hugs*

Your art diary is full of such beauty and wonderful drawings. Calmness is another great example of that. Your pencil drawing skills are truly remarkable. All the little details and shadding in this piece are absolutely fantastic.

Mmm, it is a tough choice... we are actually going to cast two different votes :D Pat loves your drawings in wood (and she is crazy for cats, hee hee) and my vote is for Mall's Art Diary: Maturity. :)

Hope your mum is doing better and that you had a good Saturday.

*hugsss*
