latest piece
« on: November 15, 2012, 06:35:11 AM »
I haven't drawn anything with actual paper in like 2 years, been using the Tablet.
the wife asked me years ago to do a piece for her and I finally got around to doing it....

its done in Charcoal size is roughly 28 by 18...took me about 3 hrs.

I forgot how much fun it is to work on paper

That's awesome! Did you use a reference, or just from memory?

Dude, that is incredible..  Do you do any paper based art "on commission"?  I'm looking for something I have in mind for my living room, but cannot find anywhere...

outstanding , Ink!

do you use a charcoal drawing/shading kit ( ie... graphite charcoal pencils?, regular charcoal sticks of differing shades?, white charcoal stick or pencil? or even a complete charcoal drawing kit- it includes all the previously mentioned items plus other stuff kneed erasers etc.. not gonna go into details here )

excellent smudging & brush & smearing details from what i can visualize

not bad at all, for not doing anything like it in over 2 years....   :aok  ( hope you don't mind , I copied/saved it and sent it to my Daughter, Jamie .......... she is a lion / tiger fanatic, lol )

 :cheers:

 :o

guys Thank you...

TC- I used a hard Charcoal for the darkest parts and smudged the rest with my fingers, I rubbed 2 sticks together so they would send small "chips" of the charcoal all over the piece then slightly rubbed that in for the specks in the fur, and then used a eraser to get the highlights.

I have used Charcoal before but only a few times, I am far more used to pencils

I remember when the wife and I were homeless living in a camp ground, we met a old couple who were living in the next site, we were up talking about GOD and sitting around the fire, I pulled a chunk of burnt log out and did a giant wolf head, (the woman said she loved wolfs)  I gave it to her, she cried over it....



I am honestly humbled by your complements you guys.....I know some here think I am a braggart, have an ego....but if they knew me they would know that is so far from the truth, I still cant think or feel that I am good at anything....

reading what you guys are saying makes :cry

again  Thank you

INK, my friend...wow.

If I send you a family pic, can you do the same thing?  I will pay good money for it.  I have our latest fam pic.

BTW, we have 12 baseball players with parents who would crap themselves for charcoals of actual pictures of their sons....how much a piece?  Buyer pays the freight.  Also, do you work in oil?  The baseball facility has a giant blank wall and the owner knows what he wants but the people he has chosen to do it SUCK.  I'd get you a ticket on American Airlines and put you up someplace close but you gotta bring your paint.  PM me.

Slash is up the road and he and I can take you buy HTC to harrass Skuzzy with your sword.  I went by there once but Skuzzy told me they were closed and pushed me out the door as he locked it.  Wasn't nice but I understand.  If you bring your swords and Slash brings his badge, Skuzzy will have to give us the tour.
