The angel wing is so pretty. I love it. The contrast of white on black is very eye-catching. It looks like the shading was done by letting the black of the paper show through the lighter strokes. Is that right? I don't know art stuff. It looks beautiful though. The pattern visible in the shading is just really satisfying too.
It's been really satisfying to watch @curangel grow from its beginnings so far. Born from the minds of people who truly put their fellow humans first. You are one of the most dedicated, hardest-working curators on this platform; I know this firsthand from our time in OCD together. The extra mile is not extra for you. It's just what you do. You pour your passion and dedication into everything you do, from creation to curation, and that makes you awesome. Never forget it.
It brings me so much joy to know that you have found your wings.
Aww! Thank you lem!
Yes, since the only things to work with were the paper and the white watercolor pencil, I used layers to create the shadows. The first layer was the lightest one and the paper shines through. I wanted to create something with a softness feeling to it. I had almost forgotten how fun it is to use the pencils.
You know there are moments where people ask is it worth it? And while sometimes we feel discouraged and almost worthless, the answer is yes. It is same as with climate change. People think oh if I do these small changes in my life, it does nothing. Thought thousands of people at the same time.
