I am new at digital medium. It has its own benefits and drawbacks. The colors are brilliant, no denying this. You can also create and mimic alot of special effects and surfaces. It does lack spirit and emotion. You can also tell the time that went into something hand drawn with raw materials. This piece is a practice piece with a illustration program I am absolutly in love with. This raven has landed on a barbed wire fencepost and is cawing at nothing. The un-weather beaten mailbox provides exellent contrast to the terrain that hosts it.
