Description This is loosely based off the North Western Native American story: How Raven Stole the Sun.
This drawing is particularly important to me. It’s a memorial tattoo I’ve been thinking of for many years after an experience some friends and I had in Alaska.

it can be seen larger here:

This is absolutely amazing. The colours, the flow, the hint of Haida art. Love it.

Amazing strong piece you have here! The colors are vivid and I think it's a great idea to have based it on How Raven Stole the Sun. Great job!

i cheat when it comes to symmetry i draw half fold it and trace on the other half so it matches if i want it perfect.if the paper is too thick put it upright on a window with the light shining through for clear image to trace. alot of mine is just animal work like yours chec my page

Just love the shading and colors: the balance of gold and purple of the petals works great against the skull. I'm sorry if you mentioned this before, but what medium did you use? Looks like color pencil and something else?

whoiscid In reply to fydbac [2011-08-20 05:16:51 +0000 UTC]

Hey thanks!!!!! I used watercolor, Prismacolor markers and colored pencils. colored pencils alone tend to be a bit dull, but I've found when I have a base color in marker or watercolor the pencil gets nice and bright

fydbac In reply to whoiscid [2011-08-20 07:47:59 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I've been meaning to try that with my own markers and pencils. You certainly inspire me to just get on with it already. Thank you for taking the time to answer
