Artist's Comments

An early freehand sketch, translated as 'The library'. A band of undead French femmes ransack the priceless collection of literature belonging to Countess Nevena, a widowed vampire. The background is terribly faded and smudged, the only part of the drawing I am pleased with is the 'bride' to the front.

My mood was an odd combination of cheeky and reflective when I drew this, after having read Marquis De Sade's 'Justine' or 'The misfortunes of virtue'

I love it, there's something interesting everywhere you look. Have you ever thought of using Linseed oil with softer pencils, It looks like a technique you might enjoy.

Good Work

Fantastic, anything library or literature involving and I am there.. fantastic detail, all of it is so good, expecially the foreground detail and the detail of the beautiful woman above the right shoulder of Nevena
