This is a copy of a picture from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry and illustrated by Richard Howard.
When I start thinking that my drawings are too simple or too plain, illustrations like this one help remind me that simple is ok. I mean, what else would you put in? I think that quite possibly, one more thing would have been too much. (Granted, it was a very small planet.)
What reminds you that the art you are creating is fine, just as it is?

Welcome back!! Love the simple drawings you've been doing - and so glad you are back and feeling better. Cool keys - reminds me of keys my dad used to have, did not remember until now - funny how that works. And no - I wouldn't add anything to the little prince drawing.
Nothing like sitting on top of the world! I love this one!
Pure line is not a simple concept, Picasso will tell you that! You have to pack ALL the info in the smallest space, even on a big piece of paper.
It IS what is making your narrative work. I like it

Delightful! And one of my favorite books!
Danz~ I think everyone's dad had a pile of old keys tossed in a workbench drawer. I know mine still does! Guess all those folks were right when they told me I was simple! *g*
Autumn~ We all need a turn on top of the world, complete with sunsets!
Dan G.~ The second-guessing is horrible and since I draw in ink, there is NO going back! LOL
Ann~ Thanks! It's one of my favorites too. Remember the lesson the fox taught!
Lovely illustration there! ^^
Yes! Simple says it all. What reminds me that the art I'm creating is fine, just as it is? Well you did- thank you!
I have more trouble keeping a drawing "simple"! The lines have to be perfect! I can see why you would draw this...it's a wonderful composition and the lines are lovely. You've done a great job on it!
Great job on this one. I liked that book too. What reminds me? Well, when I keep looking at a drawing I have done I realize I really must like it. It's different than looking at the problems of a drawing.
