A wee pen sketch I did many years ago. I love Rackham's work, and anything art deco, or renaissance themed. I used to compulsively sketch.

Thanks!

2. That's beautiful. I can't draw it all myself. I'm a photographer. My late boyfriend was an artist though

So over the years and going to art college I was exposed to many different styles and genres I really did like the Art Deco. I really like your work, you have a great talent

[Goddessartist]

5. Oh thank you!

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, so years of practice! I'm 61 now, so lots of years of art, as it's a compulsion. I have to do it. Happily!

Years of drawing creates all sorts of imaginary beings.

9. Arthur Rackham...

... has always been one of my all time favorites as well. His line-and-wash technique was exquisite. I used to have a couple of books of his work, but they didn't survive multiple moves in my younger days.

11. I have two or three books of his work.

I especially loved his mermaids.
