Nice. I like the ink-pen style.

Wow...this is very powerful! Your use of dark and light is excellent - I'm drawn down the narrow corridor to the light. In keeping with your commentary, I see this as the bright light "death survivors" say they saw as they approached the other side. Your inkwork is, as always, amazing. I learn so much about technique when i study your drawings:>

Good job, Chuang! I like the meaning behind it as well!

Thanks Vfm4, Ellen. I think it is kinda morbid.

Thanks Joy Eliz, Constanthing, Valgalart

Thanks for your compliments, Carla.

Christine, thanks. There are other illustrators from Singapore too. Quite a few others. I think you are the third or fourth I have encountered.

It's a really well done drawing and although "kinda morbid" it illustrates a true meaning to the topic 'free'!

Wow, the path leading to the light is perfect for drawing my wyw into the picture. That brush of white at the top works to balance the otherwise deep blackness. This is a really well thought out and executed use of black and white, it works with the writting and it works on it's own too. Super
