Description
This is the first drawing where I used nothing but pen & ink (no washed ink, no tubular pens...). I'll stick to this technique for now, I kinda like the "simplicity" of it...Pen & ink on paper (29,7cm x 42cm).
Note: The original is for sale on Etsy [link]

I usually don't compare works, but I must admit this pic remind me the Queen's dungeon in Snowhite. That scene impressed me very much, I always wondering who was that guy, an old lover with bad luck? Snowhite's father?

I can't get over how much detail you're able to get in using just one tool: pen. More people should do this. This is just amazing.

this picture makes me think of that part in Snow White, when the queen walks by a cell with a skeleton in, and cackles "thirsty?"...

This piece makes me emotional. The person has died in that cell and their soul has gone to heaven.. I hope!

her soul is bathing in the sunlight as the sign of a hope as thin as spiders web...
she was probably condemned as a heretic

Wow, there's nothing 'simplistic' about this!
What kind of pens did you use? I've just started experimenting with ink but all I've been using are just regular ball pens.
