It's not quite the same as April showers. A fast little sketch with some typical scenery from me, you can click it for a closer look. Do you like music? I put some rainy music up, too.

Strong atmosphere and clever

Strong atmosphere and clever amounts of detail. Always a pleasure.
Thanks for the song. I didn't realize it looped and listened for a long time. It was nice.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

The music is lovely, also.

It's always such a huge treat

It's always such a huge treat to see your art!
Beautiful as always, it really lets off such a groggy and chilly feel. I love the detail to the background, how you've made trees a greater distance away fade, I've always had trouble portraying that so that forest from further away looks like it hasn't got a real end. /rambles

It has so much emotion in it. It's beautiful!

The music adds even more life to the still picture; like I can feel the coldness and see my own breath in the chilly air.

You captured a lovely pose and angle. Well done! ♥

I don't think anyone asked

I don't think anyone asked yet... what medium did you use? The grittiness really adds to the overall effect. Very, very lovely~

Just looking at that chills my skin. It's like I'm standing right there with her in the rain.

So beautiful

Thanks for the nice comments

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! It was pouring last night so that's why I drew this. Bbbrrr Ooh

Shaku- I used the 'smart stroke' charcoal brush in Painter. I used it the way I do real charcoal, smudging distant things and layering the gritty detail on top

Oh wow. I was always too

Oh wow. I was always too scared to use that tool XD And here I totally thought this was done with a traditional medium *in awe*

I agree with you about the

I agree with you about the rain, it has been such a dreary day today due to the rain overnight and into the morning. It is getting to be that time of year that just feels empty, everything is dying.

I don't know how you do it, but you always get me to be so emotionally invested in your artworks. It really captures that dreary and dying feeling I mentioned, but in a beautiful way. The music is so fitting and I adore it. I love your taste in music, I wish I could just dive into your iTunes for a day.

Your art is so realistic,

Your art is so realistic, drop dead gorgeous Smiling I adore the dull colors you used, it fits the scene very well. Your art is beyond words....

Yea, I think you're only a

Yea, I think you're only a couple hours from where I live so you know what I'm talking about. Maybe that's why you feel that way about my drawings, because the atmosphere/mood is as familiar to you as it is to me?

And I wouldn't mind swapping music with ya. Or anyone else here, in fact. Smiling
For the folks who enjoyed this song, I found it in a 'mixtape' from here

Noticed there were 21

Noticed there were 21 comments.
But I had to come by and say I absolutely adore this...

-pounces- Ephraaa! I haven't

-pounces- Ephraaa! I haven't seen you around in a long time, although of course I just recently came back so I could be mistaken, I was wondering if you had left.

Also, even though this is a few years old, it's still gorgeous <3

Thank you. I'd come to this

Thank you. I'd come to this picture just to listen to it.

Good to see you, Ephra. I

Good to see you, Ephra.

I know this picture is old, but I love it. It's calming just to look at it.

Well, hey there everyone! I

Well, hey there everyone! I don't do much right now besides lurk around my own track page because school's keeping me busy. I do still like the calm, rainy look to this piece as well. When I'm trying to fall asleep I sometimes daydream about that ol' deer just meandering through peaceful forests like that. I hope you're all getting along well! I miss frolicking around with you all. Maybe in a couple weeks when I'm on break. Laughing out loud
