People who blindly believe
In everything they hear or see,
Should throw of the box;
And open their eyes;
To see and accept reality.

Aquarells. I just like the abstract imagery
** My new topic is 'Reveal and Conceal'. Please post any, i repeat, ANY ideas that you might have. What do you think about when you read Reveal and Conceal? It needs to be full of symbolism and a compoition**
Thanks :smt003

Heya, here as per request. ;)

First thing that popped into my mind when I saw was: Wow, great shadowing. The hem of the shirt is amazing. The box and the random papers flying around look amazing too. In fact, the only thing that put me off was the arms. They seem too plain and stick-straight (more the left arm one than right) with all the detail around them. Otherwise, it's great and I like the fact that you've clearly shown us a meaning for the picture.

Sorry for no real constructive criticism, but as I said, I'm no artist. :P

Anyhow, keep drawing, you've clearly got talent. ^^

Hey there.

Great picture. I love the shadow and darkness. The little piece of poetry you wrote underneath also really added to this. I like the theme you’re going with here. I think you could make more pictures in this kind of style.

So keep going. Good luck.

Love the idea. The simple fact that you used such a simple artwork to describe a topic so broad, is amazing! As the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words.
Loved the coloring and shadowing. The papers flying around just add to the sense of indoctrination.
Brilliant work at the end of the day must say made me really think about the world we live in. The poem was the cherry on top.

Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
