this covers cold, lost, and remote...all very nicely.

that tree looks very icy.

Hmmm...I didn't think of that..."cold, lost and remote" a curious group of words indeed! Great job with the pencil work...you can see you spent time on this.

This is really interesting. I like your use of negative space to create the tree and the road.

thanks neelambari, catnapping, ellen and aravis for your kind comments!

ellen, yes it took some time, but it was shorter than i expected :)
aravis, thanks :) well actually the contrast looks better on real life..i tried to fix it with photoshop but it still looks pretty...brownish/yellowish.

This reminds me of a barren area where the few trees have no leaves and the wind always blows. The expanse of white it a good contrast to the pencil shading...the flat feeling adds to the sense of remoteness! And yes...it also looks very cold and lonely. Good job!
