Description What color do you think this would be if it were in color?

That's the challenge I took from *wynnter89 's journal.
[link]

Go there, and see if you were right.




Traditionally Drawn with Pilot Precise V5 pens.
This picture took me about 20 or more hours over a period of weeks, due to the fine detailing.

Drawn on standard sized card stock.
Black and white enhanced, even though in real life, this is just as vivid.

This is my next tattoo!


Thanks for the comments and for the faves!

Amazing work Sabrina! ..I already know the answer so I wont say, lol But You did it so well, it definitely evokes images of that colour for me. This has to be one of my favourite works from you ever! I love that style.

Okay, the first three times I looked at this, I didn't even notice there was a dolphin in it. It just seemed like a really nice splashy/flowing design.

Now I see the dolphin and it's even better. Great job. ^_^

Nice, it looks so clean and perfect. I see a light tropical sun set orange with red. ACtually, more peachy. Anyhow, needs more checkerboard imo, lol.

bakkeby In reply to ??? [2008-12-07 12:54:48 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, my initial impression was dark purple, but that was mainly because I would like to see it in that colour and has more to do with my taste than anything else. Artistically I like this much better than the symmetric / full frame drawings. The air on the sides give the drawing form, and your watery patterns are very smooth and elegant.

PalmTr33 In reply to ??? [2008-12-07 03:52:53 +0000 UTC]

I'm picturing some blue in the middle, except for the big circle right below the Dolphin's head which looks like seaweed. Then some green and pink in the bottom left hand corner, because i keep seeing leaves and petals of flowers. Also how do you keep your V5 pens from bleeding?

inthename In reply to PalmTr33 [2008-12-08 15:36:30 +0000 UTC]

Thank You!
The card stock is tight knit paper with no loose fibers. I use qick strokes to prevent bleeding also. What I call "trimming" the drawing up. LOL
