Finally, it’s over…
I’ve kept this picture half completed for a very long time... I’ve started drawing this during the study leave of the previous university exam I had. But I never got neither the time nor the mindset to complete it until now...
The background is a bit... what do u call... untidy... I have to admit that I was a bit hasty to complete that I never give it enough dedication…
Im adding this section in response to the request from Dewdrop( see comment section) to add what i had in mind while drawing this picture.
What i had in mind while drawing this picture was almost the same as she had thought.Ill start from the beginning.
It was while watching the Evanescence Album "My Immortal" that i got the idea of drawing this picture... see the cloth covering over her right palm ( same that that in the album). Well as Dewdrop had said, the time is a somewhat like 18-19 century.. i consider that period as the best time ever.. in terms of art or what ever it is. Well i had indented to draw her reading a letter from her husband who had gone away for a war or something. But i accidentally drew her fingers in a closed position, so i had to crumble the letter.
I also thought of drawing a rose by her side.. near the leaf. I remember drawing the outline too.. But the picture was completed in several stages due to lack of time, so it somehow got left out. In fact it was right now, that i found out it wasnt there.
And for the background, i thought of drawing a part of a building wall at first, but it was due to some well... technical aspect ( distance from the tank..) i had to decide otherwise.

You did a wonderful job. I have heard that people's faces are the hardest to draw, but you did it well.
My brother draws a little bit of everything, but cringes over faces.
thanks Gena..
lovely work amal
it's a good work man, though the pose is slightly odd..always admired you as a artist
@ Neha: Thanks a lot..
@ Red_Devil: Thanks, my first thought was to draw her reading a letter, but i accidentally drew the fingers in a closed position and never bothered to change..nyway thanks for the feedback
What came to my mind when I saw this pic was this lady of yester-years crumbling a love-letter from her lover, who had written in to bid her aideu as he went ahead in a quest to find his calling... you must blog about what you had in mind as you sketched it...
OMG!
thats exactly what i had in mind while i started drawing it.
ive said in a previous comment to Red devil about the letter sent by her lover( actually hus.)
well.. im not a pro so had to sacrifice the original idea to suit my abilities..
ill add that too to the post now..
