ALRIGHT,


That, is the coolest drawing I have ever seen.

Organic, edgy, odd but with a truly polished feel, it appeals on the primal level and interprets on a highly sophicated way.

Genius.

That's really great - wish I could get ballpoint pen to look like anything.

[PhatTexta]

wicked detail man!

[Kexe]

Awsome! I love it
Nice style and great detail...every stroke looks like its placed perfectly

whats the size of the real drawing?

Dang! Clean for a ball point pen. Im getting lost in all those bones though.

Like everyone said, very nice use of the ballpen. My only little crit is that there is no definite light source. Your drawing could be much more dramatic and help the viewer understand what's going on - especially around the limbs area. Perhaps this isn't what you were going for, nevertheless, it's very nice. In fact, it reminds me a bit of Hogarth's work in his anatomy books.
:chug:

I usually end up drawin in ballpoint pen.
Gettin something to look this clean and refined takes effort.
The problem I have with it is that I get lost in the dude's torso area. maybe that's just me.

[trevor]

i cant tell whats going on
and if yer seriouus about concept art
why the hell are you spending so much time with a ball point pen?

[Akiman]

Thanks all for C&C,thank you very much.
Kexe:its an A4 paper :D

Scubasteve:yes you're right i couldnt enough contrast to make them seperate i think

egerie:there is a definite light source its top alittle left an front but maybe i maynot do much to show it and thanks :)

Dirtmouf:i do it sometimes too ure right.and yes i wanted to lost observers in the torso area i wanted to do it a little complicated

Trevor:im serious about concept art and only thing that i use so much time is just i wanted to i like the pic and i want to illustrate it.its not a wip work its just my fun work deal? ;)

Akimen, I like your drawing, but your writing to stand to use a few commas.

[Akiman]

yes youre right ill keep that in mind thanks

You're skill with the pen is something I really envy, I draw almost all my serious drawings with a pen. But for my normal animating which I do more often I use a wacom drawing pad, which while it's fun to use I don't think I could ever replicate my skills with a pen.

Something about the even consistent coating of a pen makes it the smoothest, cleanest, clearest and fastest tool I can afford to use. Even colored pencils down mimic the definition of my pen strokes and I'll never understand why.

Keep up the quality penmanship, It'd be awesome to see a natural drawing from you, like a tree or riverbank. If you can command organic shapes like that, why not draw something from the real world?

[Akiman]

DanielandTheLionsPen: I amnot drawing anything totally from real world because; maybe i cant maybe i dont like to draw what already happened.but i think both or im living in a dream world :P thanks for your C&C DanielandTheLionsPen!
