Sunday Sketch: Share the Light


Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.

~ Buddha

    This is a very beautiful and touching sketch. What "style" of sketching is this? There appears to be alot of thin lines for your darkness/shading. Does it take you very long? Happy SS! :)

    Hi Sophia! I call this style "mess with a cheap mechanical pencil" hehe... it was a lot of layering of lines .. a lot! And lots of smudging, and a little dose of erasing!
