It’s a wonderful drawing. So much attention to detail. The small folds on the palm and the light of the flashlight are very well drawn. Lots of textures. The plot of the tale is explicit. 👏 Congratulations 🤝 Замечательный рисунок. Столько внимания к деталям. Мелкие складки на ладоне и свет фонарика, очень удачно прорисованы. Много текстур. Сюжет сказки явный. Поздравляю. ---

@sooz Yes you may! Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack thought he could get by the giant by climbing the beanstalk in the cover of night. But, the giant awoke and caught him in the act. ---

Elixiah, my apologies for not seeing this when you first posted, and I am so sorry that I did not. As everyone else has already commented, what excellent work. Your talent stands above many many others. The color, texture and tone are, in my opinion, professional. It is the kind of work I’d expect to find in certain galleries selling at a high price. Thank you so much for presenting it. I am posting two items of my own, but I’m almost embarrassed - it pales in comparison to your achievement. Thank you, thank you. Please show me more.
