I like the nose-like pipes shooting out veins. Just what you don't want to see when travelling on the tube on a Monday morning!!!

I like your half! I really like what you do with eye-patterns. Is this in graphite or ink? your grays are so rich!

Thank you!
I use 2b, b and 4h pencil (is that what you call graphite?)

yes, I usually use a graphite stick when I shade things - It is like a chubby pencil with no wood. You are very welcome! Keep up the good work!

Ok, I think I remember using one in the past. I think I will get one the next time I see one, am I right in thinking that they are good for shading?
thank you.

welcome! good for large or very dark areas. not so great for precision, though.

Im surpised how well the styles works together, if i didn't know better i would think it was made by one person alone. Great teamwork between you two!

how long does it take you generally to do a whole one of these - no collaboration?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's a difficult question to answer....sometimes they flow and an A4 drawing can take me a couple of days, sometimes it can take me four days.

i really like that part of this that looks like the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane... i could just be seeing cell biology everywhere at the moment though...!

You are very clever Immy, and absolutely right! I used this for inspiration [link]
whatever a lipid bilayer of a cell membrane is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Such a familiar image to me, i love how you have used it. the lipid bilayer is what keeps cells intact and the insides in, so i guess when i look at your picture it seems like the the bilayer is at the surface level to me, and is a good analogy to a layer of grass on the surface of the landscape.
As to "whatever it is" - its most fundamental: all the cells in your body are surrounded by a membrane (is there is any life without some sort of membranes to provide hull integrity? dunno, but it would be pretty squishy i guess ^^). Its a bilayer because the membrane is made of molecules which have tails that hate water and heads that love water - so they line up in 2 layers, tails to tails, with the heads looking out into the watery liquid that makes up the inside and outside of cells. Cell biology is such a beautiful thing & i am not so good at explaining it... but its the same way detergent makes bubbles/antibubbles, explained here - [link]
