Lines and Colors
Lines and Colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.

I love your work and especially, the illustration/picture above.
It is enchanting and inviting. It is cavernous and secluded; yet, it gives off a feeling of safety. It brings you into a bellowy depth of hidden, vulnerable emotion with powerful life overgrown from it; yet it exudes a protective but expansive and free feeling.
Wish I weren’t poor.
Sincerely your fan and sending the hyperlink to friends,
Misti Colon
