Ole smithville..a lil town South of amory. Yeah I passed thru it a time or 2. You know long before you were born a tornado destroyed Delta City (South of Hollandale) in 69..town never did rebuild and most of the folks moved from there..I am from the delta and I have seen many a tornadoes and it seems every state I move to tornados like to follow me..lol..nice sketched. The house and tornado form is good. The depth is good. The details is good. The shading is good. The creation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and good job overall

Devonte, tis amazing all the damage these tornados caused. This was back in 2011 and it wiped out Hackleburg, Alabama. The destruction was mind boggling. Thank you for sharing you account and sketch. Ray

This is a fine work with just a number 2 pencil, my artist friend. You really bring to life, in your unique style, the over-powering forces and damages of a tornado. Your shading is really done well too.

You are welcome. Fine pencil works. Powerful tornado. Glad there are none of those around here in the last little while.

This tornado drawing is a fine illustration, rich in details and implied narrative. Your explanation makes our eyes go around composition, It's a compelling image. Next time you post, trim the edges so that only the main theme is seen. Thanks for sharing.

A very scary and interesting. Visual presented here of this tornado as it approaches civilization. Composition and shading is very well thought out. Thank you for sharing.

Such a great drawing. The details in the buildings hit the viewer first thing. I like how you framed the scene. The tornado is nicely done. Great job.
