How clever and interesting! Did you make many sketches to come to this dynamic yet balanced composition?

darwink In reply to simone4390 [2011-05-14 01:33:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!! It was mostly freestyle (no sketches), as the drawing progressed toward the end I became more careful and sketched out some of the elements first.

SOMFG! You need to make an adult coloring book with a metric ton of B&W pieces like this! I sure know I would buy it and I hate coloring. This however would be amazingly fun to color.

Maybe you can get them online... though, I'm not sure you would be willing to pay extra cost of shipping etc. I know I would; I have been hooked on these pens for more than 20 years, since I was a kid. My aunt and uncle own art supply stores, so I would always get a bunch of them at Christmas.
