_______________________________________________

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH for letting me use your photo as reference!!!
And here's the link to the wonderful image [link] GO CHECK IT OUT!!

_______________________________________________

What I Used: B, 2B,4B, 6B, 8B, HB,2=HB, H
Time Spent : 20h
_______________________________________________

:EDIT2:

ok guys it's pretty much finished...this time i did it in one go!! one day for the last 3watched and for the little one downwards that's approximately another 6h

my scanner is dead like i said, so i had to scan this in another place; i don't like the way it looks so i might rescan this when it's fixed..

meanwhile, ENJOY!!

:EDIT:

o.Ö it may be me, but i think my hand's moving faster...and steadier; this time i spent only 3h for something that last time i didn't do in 6h....but like i said...it may be me cuzz this time there are less details in that upper clock

I post so rare a traditional deviation that it took me a while to find the category

Well, here it is! As promised

Because was the first to coment on my lollipop dream deviation (and caught me in a really good mood back then) i've left her to decide my next traditional theme...she said STEAMPUNK and i think this has a bit of steampunk feeling, no?

Anyways
this will be a looong one so i'll update it


As a side note, i really hope i get to finish this..and i hope i will NEVER ever chose such poor paper again When i use the 2B or B pencil to much i'm always afraid it'll go through it...i liked the fact that it was yellowish but i never thought that it would disintegrate on the way

This is just truly perfect! I love how you made this picture look like an older photo or something like that, it truly has this steampunk era effect to it, and it's just impressively detailed! Your skills in using different pencils for a varied shading effect are really impressive, I just LOVE how this picture came out!

I used an old yellow paper sheet, witch after a few erases would get this ruffled bit to it.
I thought it would be perfect for these watches.
I am still so proud of this drawing, thank you for appreciating it too agetian,

Seeing as a critique has been requested, and I don't have a premium membership, I'll just write one in the comments: When I first looked at it I honestly didn't think "Oh, that looks steampunk"...something about the darkness of it. When I think of steampunk I just think of brown. I DO get a hint of steampunk through the subject however. I think you did an AMAZING job drawing the subject matter. The only thing I can point out that could be improved on is 2 things. The first is in the dark areas where you can CLEARLY see the lines you drew xD I would just suggest filling it in more, or trying to colour it darker so that you can't see light lines where you didn't colour as hard. The second is is the fact that, there isn't a CLEAR light source. If anything it looks like there are multiple light sources, and the lighter areas don't appear to match on every clock/clock part (light sources can be hard to draw when you aren't using colour). Anyways, overall, I think its a great drawing. You can tell a lot of effort has been put into it through all the detail you added. I only hope this helps...

thank you very much
i would like to ask one thing though, by the dark areas you mentioned first, you mean the background?
this was my first traditional realism drawing so unfortunately back then i would concentrate to much on details, and less on light source in the first steps; and with that reference i couldn't get a clear light source either
in any case, i know it isn't perfect,and i thank you for posting such a long comment on this; i never really knew what people thought about this particular drawing

ceasuri, ceasuri, ceasuri
ai avut senzatia aia ciudata cand ai desenat ceasurile? vreau sa spun ca m-am simtit destul de... rupta ca sa zic asa stiind ca desenez timpul in timp ce el incearca sa se strecoare pe langa mine

for a first traditional try i'm satisfied too, but sadly it's not to balanced, with that big space there...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

k-atrina In reply to BlackDelphin [2009-02-15 23:13:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeahh the scary thing about traditional mediums is that you can't just crop and move things around. It's good, nonetheless, it does look a little unbalanced, but in an intriguing way, not in a bad way. xD

and the non cropping part of traditional makes it so special

KaelNgu [2009-02-11 12:36:04 +0000 UTC]

its finished already, sorry for the late commentXD
its a not bad for you! i like the rough shading, somehow give the clock a little texture. i would suggest u can darken some parts using photoshop next time, and try not to let some spaces empty^_^
its still pretty good tho!

BlackDelphin In reply to KaelNgu [2009-02-14 20:16:29 +0000 UTC]

don't worry about it
it's always a joy to read your comment, whenever they come ^^

yeah >_> i hate that space too but it's after a ref and all i was overwhelmed only with the idea you see...anyways i'll do better next time and yes, i did use photoshop to darken it: burn tool and levels...i think curves too at some point...though i'm not good controlling those >_>
