From a Writing Prompt

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 2, 2008, 2:11 PM
I wore it for so long
That it hardened and became a shell
Like the egg I hatched from.

I wore it for so long
That I thought I had always been
A ground walking thing.

I forgot how I flew.

Then one day I wished I could fly.
That brittle old shell
cracked and disintegrated.

I leaped into the sky.

Now I struggle to remember
How I bore walking upon the ground.

-Raven

That's what's going on with me lately.

Enjoy.

You should get one of those "how to draw" books that shows the volumes of the body parts in circles and ovals, it really does help. Also, draw from life, or photographs. Focus on doing angles and positions that you don.t usually. With that kind of practice you'll be really good in a year or two. Get outside your comfort zone, don't do side views anymore.

Your gallery is hypnotic, everything is so beautiful.
I really love the ones of the dogs!
I was wondering What it would take, possibly, to get you to maybe do a drawing of my dog?

I love your drawings! They are amazing! I loved "Snow Dog", I love Huskies, I also like Cobri meets Voodoo, I like all of them. If you wouldn't mind, could you give me some tips in drawing?

Bah! :P You're more than welcome to color any of those horse breeds black if you'd like... or ask ~alexandrabirchmore if you can steal the Friesians. :D

Wow, that is perfect timing.

I got invited to draw some particlar breeds, and all the "black steeds" are already taken. What's up with that?
