Black and white line art.

I kind of ❤️ this a lot more than the finished one I posted earlier.

Maybe I ought to stick to gray scale line art until I get good enough to write and paint them in. Simplicity wins here.

What do you think?

It's a toss up! It looks good either way to me, but I see what you say about keeping them non-colored. They look more like comics you see in the paper when they aren't colored. Either way keep up the good work!!!!

Hi @falseyedols,
I decided to keep them gray scale at first, and then I can always add color to that.
Coloring is its own beast and project, and it will slow me down. I need to build up momentum and energy into the world, drawings and creations now. As long as it communicates and makes someone smile, or cringe, then it works :)

I'll agree with you on this one working better than the colored -n version; it's more stark and therefore more striking. Best of luck with the evolution of your art. I think of Wilde's line about having spent the weekend putting a comma in, and then taking it out :)

Thank you for the feedback! I see the same thing. it's done :]
and what is Wilde's line? that sounds magical, I've read The Picture of Dorian Gray by him and I am scared to read something else, one heart break a year.

Yes, @tetsuo, Wilde can be a heart-breaker! Here is an essay of mine on the man and his art:

hi,
I haven't had the chance to read it yet, but I will soon. :)
I stopped reading Dorian because I had a feeling it is going to end in a tragedy, and at that point I had fallen in love with the characters and I hated and loved Dorian and did not want to see what happened to him.

but, everyone in a way got what they deserved.

You have good instincts, @tetsuo, and you should trust them :)

I could have saved myself some heartache by putting down Dorian, too. Yes, everyone did get what they deserve, as you say (including Wilde, some would argue)!

At the risk of bombarding you, here is another Wilde essay that I recently posted on Steemit - bigger and deeper - where I contrast him with that other Great Contrarian (and tragic figure) Nietzsche: https://steemit.com/blog/@yahialababidi/the-twin-souls-of-oscar-wilde-and-friedrich-nietzsche

My heart and soul is in this post & I hope you enjoy it -when you find the time. Nahar Sa'eed :)
