Not all art needs to have some kind of message, and can simply be made to be found aesthetically pleasing or emotionally provoking. It may have a message in that case, but I’d say it’s a matter of opinion.
Art is a weird medium because no one really knows what it constitutes or what constitutes it, so I’d say it’s all a matter of taste.
That said, I think everyone, myself included, would prefer it if you would give more constructive criticism.

I’ve kind of just been skulking around here for the best few months. Perhaps it is time I actually contribute once again. I haven’t been drawing very much and that kind of saddens me. I’ve been trying to pick it back up again but I find I don’t have much time these days. But the other day I was in English class and the teacher gave us a reading period. I had already finished the book the night before so I had nothing to do. She insisted I do something related to the class, I wasn’t allowed to do work from other teachers, so I sketched the final scene of the play we were reading. It’s the crucible. Anyone else have to read it? It’s pretty dreadful. As is most books in English class.

I also did these about a month ago when I was just messing around with charcoal. I had forgotten about them until now.

Behind the boy is lyrics of a folk song that was original an old English legend. The legend was of a boy that came across the Devil disguised as a Knight while walking along the road at night. The boy stood strong and refused to be swayed by the Devil and kept saying that he was going to God. I really liked it so I tried to represent it artistically of course. The boy with his walking stick closing his eyes against the brightness as he walks into the light and away from the darkness.

Lol, I like the Red Demon’s eyes!
Shockingly that’s pretty similar to how her eyes really look. Not quite as evil though. Anecdote, I titled it the red demon because there was a group of kids who used to call her that in elementary school because she was so feisty and had red hair. She thinks hilarious. She also loved the picture. She’s holding a calculator because her evil power is calculus.

Math can seem like a demon, no doubt 
Pardon my lateness. Wow these sketches are so incredibly well done @Forest. It’s like we’re being taken on an infinite journey. Keep them coming.
