Sleeping With Ghosts by wytherwing

Watch Mature Content

Haunting memories... we all have our ghosts...

The initial attempt on this drawing ended up as a meal for my shredder... but the photo intrigued me enough to give it another shot.
Made some changes to what I had originally visualized and think it turned out fairly well.

Note: JetScreamer wrote this really wonderful poem inspired by my drawing so please stop by her gallery and check it out... jetscreamer.deviantart.com/art…... thank you so much Jet!

Arsnic-Ainjel Featured By Owner Apr 22, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

Reminds me of something out of the 80's. Love it!!

wytherwing Featured By Owner Apr 23, 2017

thank you very much for the awesome compliment... the 80's art of Patrick Nagel is a strong influence on my style for this pinup series.

Arsnic-Ainjel Featured By Owner Apr 23, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

I figured as much. Next to some decent music; Nagel was one of the betterment that came out of the 80's. The influence is very obvious with a bit of "avant garde noir" if you will. I like it a lot. It lends more detail than the photo's do.

An excellent picture, very detailed. The name of the picture is good, too.

This one is my favorite, I am glad you didn't shred it

wytherwing Featured By Owner Nov 16, 2014

thanks!

PaulAbrams Featured By Owner Sep 29, 2014 Professional General Artist

Glad you went for it a second time-reducing the values down to 2 and making the composition work is no easy thing to accomplish= I really admire the consideration you apply to each individual piece

wytherwing Featured By Owner Oct 4, 2014

hey thanks Paul, i really appreciate that! i'm starting to get the urge to get back into my studio, and
your compliments really help inspire me to do more for this series ... cheers!

OrionShipworks Featured By Owner Aug 6, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm really impressed with how you distilled the original image into just two values - black and white. The resulting composition is very pleasing.
But one tiny thing bothers me: Is there any way to make a slight suggestion of a nose without wrecking the face?
BTW, the half-circles you added are genius! The one on the right echoes the curve of her body. And the one on the left repeats the shape in another area. Those circles make this!

wytherwing Featured By Owner Aug 7, 2014

hey thanks man for the awesome comment and i really appreciate your feedback... i'm happy to know you like this
particular drawing. Nod

my habit of leaving out the nose has sort of become my trademark in my development of this
style... it does annoy some people, but most viewers seem to find it intriguing and seem to like this little quirk. either
way i don't plan on making any changes to this piece or my future drawings for the series... besides it's fun to stir up
a bit of controversy... ;) (Wink)

OrionShipworks Featured By Owner Aug 8, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

There are other details omitted, so I can see why you omitted the nose. It's not something that one notices at first.
With or without a suggestion of a nose I really admire this piece and find it inspirational.

wytherwing Featured By Owner Aug 10, 2014

cheers!

Well I am, because I have about as much drawing talent as a caterpillar XD
