A Light in the Darkness by nakanoart

Here's a value drawing that I've been messing with occasionally over the last few months. I'm glad to be able to say that it's technically "finished" haha. Hope you guys like it!

As for the title: a lot has happened in the world recently, and I hope we can all find some light in our lives

nakanoart Featured By Owner Mar 12, 2016 Professional General Artist

Thanks! She's pretty ambiguous looking, so honestly, I suppose she could be any of my characters xD But I didn't intend for her to be a specific character when I drew it.

This is fantastic!

Totemos Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2015 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I legimitaly just stood there appreciating this for like 5 mins, it's just so perfect... Is it a traditional drawing or a digital drawing with traditional effects?

nakanoart Featured By Owner Nov 18, 2015 Professional General Artist

Aww thanks dude ^_^ I drew the lines in pencil, scanned them, then colored them digitally (while keeping traditional media in mind) and layered some traditional textures over the finished drawing.

Let me know if you ever have more questions!

This is so beautiful <3 You put me in mind of a quote from a wise old wizard:
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
