I saw your previous post as well as this (I was pissed at the lack of comments....although I'm one to talk as I have only just now bothered to register) and your style floats my boat, your anatomical ability may not be perfect but fully complements your style and subject matter.
It'd just be the jam in my doughnut if you were to colour one, especially the one with the 'winnie the pooh' character lookalike.
Look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

nice sketch...

if I had two things to say....

If you could render a focal area for our eye to rest on...what area would you detail further so that we really have an area to focus on?

If you are going to spend time and make a nice drawing...why use lined papers?

get a sketchbook...your drawing is too nice to not have on good paper.

just comments...thats all.

Jenn - Thanks!!.......(smart ass)

[Shizo] - Cheers dude - Yeah it was a Bic, not sure why I prefer the blue.....something different.

Glueman - Thanks alot (& welcome)- I may put that jam in your doughnut sometime soon, though I'm afraid of my colouring ability, its ruined pics in the past.

Jason - Thank you too - Focal area......I'm not entirely sure what you mean and how this fits with my pic.
After reading one of your recent posts, I had an understanding of what these painters were doing. The focal area being more defined, brighter, higher contrast...etc, while that which lies outside could be compared to your eyes viewing it as if seeing it through your peripheral vision.

But this is a pic.....no background, nothing else to draw you away. I try and think of defining a certain area and I see it becoming unbalanced.
Enlighten me....I'm really keen to here you elaborate on this.

The paper...well I'm at work and its wasn't planned, its the paper I use for taking notes while on the phone.....it was a doodle orignally.

[Tiger Eaten]

Well of course it turned out so nice, you used a ball point pen and lined paper. Anyone can turn out decent art if they are willing to lay out the cash for such professional equipment.........

OMG!

How did you manage to draw it out so smoothly without ever a moment of goopyness coming into play? The gradients and shading is really, really nice. If you'd done this is PS, I'd be very happy, but to have managed it in your off moments in pen! WTG!

Dive - Thanks for the comment! (I feel a tear coming)
Private lessons?.....Geez I'm flattered.....I'm not sure how one would go about doing that.

In photoshop I tried working a pic up but can't bring it in from home PC, its about 3mb and I'm having trouble getting it smaller.
Thanks again

JASON....Oye!, your leavin me hanging here, short & sweet will do, not asking for a novel....

[Jerry]

that is the best pen drawn picture I've seen yet... although I've only seen a couple drawn with ball points... Line paper? you did this at work or something?

[Lukias]

Jerry - Yeah, I tend do draw when I'm bored, therefore school and now work are perfect enviroments to doodle and in the off chance, actually *complete* a picture.
Any of you young guys draw alot at school?, do the teachers get really pissed?. haha they used to get soo fukced off with me, I had to have a meeting with my parents and the principal......ahh the memories.

Lukias, I think what Jason is saying is that the image is so uniform, in colour, texture, detail and density that there is no main focus or point of interest that grabs the eye. The picture is very well drawn and shaded, but does little to affect the audience... I look at it and think, hmmm that's quite a nice picture (and then I get distracted by the lined paper), when I probably should be thinking Wow - that monter scares the doo-doo out of me OR perhaps wondering why the creature is in that pose - is he in agony, or is it hatching from an embryo or something else entirely.

Try to involve the audience by drawing that attention to the most important feature of the picture - in this case perhaps you would choose the mouth as the beast howls its dying cry.

Look at the art of someone like Boris Vallejo and notice how the 'focal point' of each of his pictures is almost photo realistic, but the other less important areas are left more vague. This allows us to fill in the missing detail for ourselves, and tells us far more about the meaning of the image than a flat uniform picture ever could.

Hugz Ampa.

WoW. That is pretty good. Just a question, but how did you get it so perfect on the first try? Didn't look like you sketched it out or something first....

[anticz]

Cool sketch. One question though. How do you get those little horizontal lines to be spaced so perfectly? Did you build them in 3D or somthing?

Wow. I love it. It's earned a spot in my sijun posts folder..


Lukias: As for you question about people drawing at school.....I draw all the time in school...most of the teachers leave me be or stare and say they like whatever I'm working on, sometimes even start art conversations with me. Well, except for my geometry teacher...he likes to be sarcastic and call be picasso when I dont know the answer to something and then uses me as an example of people not paying attention thus making an ass of themselves.
