Description
Here is a finished piece, based on Poe's "The Raven", that I did for my niece for a school project she had to do on the story. Hopefully, it does the trick... This is the first time I've used inkwash in a long time. I love ink and think this one turned out pretty decently. There's a few mistakes, places where I should've been a little less dark with the ink, one place that got rubbed off a little when I was wiping on some thin layers of ink... But overall, I enjoyed it.KAB

This looks great, Kurt! It'd be nice to see more pieces pencilled and inked by you in the future. Also, I really like the inkwash work.

...this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' "
One of my favorites!
