Description graphite hates photography.
i'm sure photography feels the same.
it's this intense mutual hatred and i'm caught in between, you know?

assignment was 'inside-out'.
18"x24"

is it a coincidence or THERE IS a dog's head falling from the egg? I actually saw a dog head the whole time till I read the comments!!
Am I wrong? .____.

btw your pencilwork is crazy, I'm totally in awe

yeah photography is like different somehow when you try to recreate it in that way. i like it. heh. lets get crackin! nice work on the bird. on 18x24? whats the largest you've gone on?

clouded-ambition In reply to StrategicMethod [2009-03-08 17:33:43 +0000 UTC]

thanks a lot. :]
ummmm... i mean in terms of drawing i've only gone up to 18"x24" but with painting... i think the largest was 3' x 2'.... well okay no, i did a set piece for drama that was two wooden panels of 4'x8' [basically 8'x8' square].
i don't really like working that big sometimes. it depends. for painting i like huge canvases but drawing... i like keeping it compact.

wow!
because you've done so well in a medium that doesn't agree with photography.. it makes it better i think. it's raw because of that but also composed

Wonderful shading!! The hands are especially great!


However, what is this??? I have a sense that I should be creeped out by it.

clouded-ambition In reply to SparrowsFlame [2009-03-08 17:35:09 +0000 UTC]

it's an egg being cracked in half.
thanks!

SparrowsFlame In reply to clouded-ambition [2009-03-09 23:01:54 +0000 UTC]

Ooohhhhh!! Now I see it! It really looked like some alien creepy thing at first.

How did you do this?? Did you have a picture of a cracked egg? Did it come from your imagination? Obviously it couldn't be a "still life" since the inside of the egg would keep falling/spilling out.

Again, the shading is incredible! And you're welcome!

How you did this, I will never know.

What did you use for reference?

clouded-ambition In reply to DaaBree-Jeff [2009-03-04 02:48:16 +0000 UTC]

pencil, phalanges, patience
the ingredients are easy; it's combining them that gets tricky.

i found a random stockphoto whilst perusing the web.

You. Are. Crazy-Insane.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I LOVE your pencil work...your cross-hatch-y way of shading is beautiful...
The way you can just see the light coming through the translucent liquid is so gorgeous....
Why must you make me so freaking jealous all the time!?
Seriously though..
you're a huge source of inspiration for me...
You're incredible.

; - ; gaaaah....thaaank youuu...
i'm not worthy of that, silly goose.
if anything, your work makes me jealous sometimes, you cool cat. <3
if you just keep on practicing and being diverse with media and subject material, you'll learn so much and become the artist you want to be.
you're awesome.

Daaaamn, woman. Talk about the devil being in the details -- this one has so much going on, to convey such a simple act. I am absolutely in love with all of the shading and crosshatching, and the brilliant way in which you conveyed runny, drippy, yolky liquid...
