Ju Li Khing: #3 Anime Art

I believe that this drawing shows that anime is more than just another type of cartoon for children (and many adults, albeit secretly:) Anime conveys subtle emotions and a certain casual elegance that makes for a very attractive combination. This picture radiates a sort of sad tranquility; we are drawn to her face almost immediately, even though the piece is full of elements. The lock of hair across her face makes it as if she had been interrupted and was looking up suddenly. There is movement in the piece from the long, flowing silvery webs stretched across the picture, and the dark clouds in the background that seem to move towards each other. I feel as though I could stare at this picture all day and continue discovering new elements within the picture.
