Halls of Blind

reuploading my gallery with some of my best drawing I have done, they're not perfect, but I like them how they are. beginning with halls of blind: Little description how I got this idea: I met some blind peoples a long time ago and I was so in awe how they can see/read/feel with only their hands... close your eyes and try to see with help of your hands, not so easy as many think.... another inspiration was the song down to the halls of blind from the dargaard. Lyrics: I can see whart you see not. Visions milky than eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone whispering their hidden song. Then you see what cannot be: Shadows move where light should be. Death is their curse to the sun to walk the way they had begun. Out of darkness out of mind cast down to the halls of the blind. Reference/Model: my friend Elena, thanks so much my dear. Material: bristol board, mechanical pencil (6B), woodless pencil (9B) and for the dark areas Charcoal, paper stumps and a brush. Edit: messed a little with nose, when you look closely you will see what I mean. Perhaps I'm going to draw this again, because this one was destroyed by a fire we had in january this year, I'm still somewhat sad that especially this one was lost.

I'm impressed by this wonderful pencil work , and I love your words too because I had a blind uncle who was a master in seeing/reading/ feeling only with his hands and especially he was in his one class with playing chess .....so I know about you're speaking . Great work Nina ! ( forgive my grammar mistakes LOL )

Artist Reply: Thank you so much :) My grammar isn't perfect either *g* don't worry about that. I'm glad that you like both descreption and the drawing. Danke
Artist Reply: Dear Brigitte, thank you so much for the kind and wonderful words on this drawing, this means a lot to me. Don't worry about the grammar, mine wouldn't be better because english is my second language and I still have much to learn, especially grammar. Thanks again
