The Road Not Taken

Published: Jan 31, 2015

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Love it! The meaning is really nice as well, I can relate to it. :3

Thank you very much, glad you think it is meaningful.

Incredible work - a picture straight form the soul and no less! I love it! <3

Thank you so much Ziggy, I am really glad that you think this way :D (Big Grin) .

I think you're ready to try some in-depth shading now - start using your graphic pencils like colouring pencils and make them seem more full! ^.^

I will give it a try :) (Smile)

And remember, the key to realistic pencil drawing is in drawing what cannot be seen. Draw the darkness, not the light.

Thanks for the hint we will see what is going to happen ;) (Wink)

I love that poem. You've captured it well!

Thank you very much, it is by far my favorite poem.

Hello:
It is a very interesting message, I sometimes use it when I talk with some people: that we have to take the less-travelled roads so to get more originality in our works. I suppose it can be applied to many other concepts in life aswell.

As for the drawing? it looks great, I like the silent ambience it gives and that is one great work by adding all those trees.

Thank you very much, I always have a hard time to draw forests with all those branches, I am glad you like the message, it is a relief to know that it is clear to understand.

Hello:
I understand that it can be a challenge to properly translate into english what we have in mind.

Trees can be messy sometimes, hehehe.

Backgrounds is something I really need to start doing myself, maybe soon .

Backgrounds are fun but they can be a real challenge sometimes, if you want to start doing it I would recommend for you to check some tutorials about perspective on a bi-dimensional medium, as you work with 3D models, I believe that you will catch the idea very quick, good luck experimenting ;) (Wink) .

Hello:
And thank you very much! But it is very likely that I will start with very simple stuff Sweating a little... . But I will look for tutorials.
