Artist's Comments

Original Size: 10x13
Medium: Brush, quill & ink
Time: 60 hours
Copyright Notice: 2008 by Bob Giadrosich/Sharayah Press. All Rights Reserved.

    One of three illustrations produced for the book Dark Arts by Bob Hobbs, released by David and Charles Publishing (U.K.).

    The publisher wanted a scene depicting some type of workshop. Given the parameters, I wanted to make it a little more "upscale," giving the feel of a room or setting that had been around for generations. A place, perhaps, that had been her mother's, or her mother's mother before her.

    Magi's Castle is the first one in the series.

That is effing incredible. You do with pen and ink what I always wanted to do, but never had the imaginary scope or the patience.

I particularly like the subtleties in the ceiling and all the little things just almost hiding.

let´s have a look

You really are so absurdly talented...
The only thing that wasn't perfect for me was the whiteness of the blossoms in the vase... it does draw you into the picture but I felt like the focal point ought to be the girl standing out against the whiteness of the sky, so maybe you could put some shading on the stalks in the vase or something. Just my totally worthless opinion. :shrug:
Still totally superb, though, and I love how you give this a cosy, warm, homely feeling without using colour, I find blakc and white pieces often feel quite cold. Fantastic work. :)
