Snow on the Sahara

estimated time: 45 minutes
medium: graphite pencil (3B) on sketch paper
scanned using: adobe photoshop cs and mustek 1200UB scanner

summary: this sketch was inspired by the song "snow on the sahara" by enigma and the anime series "yu-gi-oh!"
originally created for a contest entry at but turned into just a random sketch i felt like drawing.

i guess you could add color to it, but i like it just the way it is because the grey scheme of the picture reminds me of the varying shades of snow during its many phases: falling, settling, melting.
that, and i think winter is a very drab and grey season...with the exception of the christmas holiday because you have houses decorated.

oh, in case you can't tell, there's snow on them thar pyramids ^_^
