Description
Artwork created for my Illustrated Book of Shadows, fav.me/d3jl22o the magic of the summer solstice and the blurring of the two worlds of spirits and humans that comes about on this evening. The drawing is made with a full range of graphite pencils , kneaded eraser, metal stylus. smudging stump and a whole lot of patience. The piece measures 16 x 22 on a hundred percent rag, hot press watercolor paper from Arches Paper.
The reference photo for the Horned One is from fav.me/d2m55od the reference photos for the two ferries are from felixdeon.deviantart.com/ and finally the reference photo for the reclining figure is from the book Art Models by Maureen and Douglas Johnson. I scanned the original drawing on a flatbed scanner in eight separate pieces and then use Photoshop image merge to combine them back into one document. I also converted the piece from grayscale to RGB color and added a little red and yellow to sepiatone the image. As in all drawing projects, I learned a great deal from this piece as well as compiled a list of things to continue to work on. Particularly that of rendering the elusive characters of ferries.

Although I understand that this is for your BOS, I love the insight into your personal world. The textures of the picture is great! I love when I look at artwork and it appeals to my other senses. Although I understand that Cernunnos is male, both the key figure and Cernunnos seem to have somewhat ambiguous faces. On closure inspection, both Cernunnos's and the sleeping character's facial features are almost exactly alike!
The knotwork is beautiful; I am sure that it took a fair amount of time to get it just so. The corner-piece knotwork mandalas are beautiful as well. Great picture! It apears to be an illustration from something beautifully written in your BOS. Kudos!
