Description Past Remains
Pencil Drawing
30 x 42 cm

Thanks to for the amazing picture of the door closer which I used as a reference for the closer at the bottom left corner of the drawing.

======================================================

Some of you must be wondering what i meant by this drawing.

Well, I am not very good at explaining in words, but I will try to convey what this drawing means to me at least.

Whenevr we look at the past we most of the time recall beautiful moments, amazing people we loved and somehow lost, and we always wish the old days would come back. Even our parents and grand parents always love to tell stories about the past and how beautiful it was. Were these days really better, most of us would say yes but why?!

Then we come back from our past journy and find past remains (old people tearing their eyes when they recall that beautiful past, old doors, and dusty remains that is left to rust and weather yet look beautiful and attractive somehow)

This is how we treat our past remains and we would not appreciate them until we become remains just like them!

Amazing work!
Interesting to see how every element makes me think about different things and brings out different emotion. Reminded me of Van Gogh's Starry Night at first (though couldn't pinpoint that what it reminded me of initially and was having a vague idea). And then looking in closer, reminds me of tree bark, snake skin, and really creeped out by the real looking spider(?). But your comments kind of make me mushy and think about my grandmothers for some reason ._.
Amazing work!

many thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to comment on my work. This is the beauty of art, it leaves different emotions at different veiwers. And if it left some emotions, I consider them succesful
Glad you liked my work here

No problem. Someone linked it in the forum for others to see, and I thought I would leave a comment here as well.

very nice drawing. i like the structure of the wood. one question: is this a scan or a photography? it seems to be the second one because of the left upper corner. there the pencil seems to be lighter by the flashlight.

greetings

No cast shadows? Of the key and spider I mean.

Thanks brother.

Your observation about the shadow is very right. I actually placed a very shy shaddow behind the key on the right. It did not look good with stronger shaddow especially the spider as it looked having 16 legs lol amd i could not manage a better contrast. But you are very right. Such comments and observations only come from real artists with a great eye for details..
