Description
This was an attempt at not using anything but my mind ( except my hand and pen that I couldn't do alone! xD ), I tried a similar concept to this months ago but alas, it failed due to lack of ideas.Now, I tried but in a different approach, It's kind of a mix of a few things, M.C. Escher for one ( I've always loved his art but who hasn't really? ), but the main inspiration was the Album of Three Days Grace's "Life Starts Now." I really liked the idea of the flying animals flying from the TVs being broken. But I just used the same concept but rather just played with the idea of ink actually flying off and doing all kinds of crazy things all over the paper for fun. And I added Lavender in there just cause I thought she'd abstract it a bit.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about here's the Album: [link]
I think you can get the idea of the drawing it's quite obvious that it's a explosion of ideas. xD
I'm making it bigger because of it's massive details.
I used my own right hand for a reference. I actually drew my hand with my left hand lightly and then went over it on my dominant right hand so it won't be all horrible. I wanted to be as accurate as I could but alas that pointer finger is too short. But I made many erase marks so bad I was too afraid to erase more. Because it would turn my paper gray.
xD
And the flowers are tilted a little wrong but that's ok. xD
I'm really proud of this one it almost came out the way I had it in my head, which is awesome. That never happens. xD
What do you guys think?
You can go ahead say anything, I don't understand why people think I won't answer them. I may not right now since I want to like.. sleep now, cause I had a long week lol. xD
This took me about 1 day to draw, 2 days to ink and 1 day to color in pencil. I finished it around 12:43 AM on the 29 by then.
I used my same old Pentel EnerGEL Liquid Gel Ink, 0.7 mm ball metal retractable tip.
My pencil is my identical Pentel EnerGIZE Pencil 0.7 mm lead.
I love these tools. They're awesome. 8D

It is, I miss doing pen work but I'm out of black ink.. still. xD
I keep forgetting to order new ink. I could just use my other colors too, but not sure what yet.
But thank you. <3

General this is not the type of art I would go in for but I have to say I really like it. I think I understand what you where going for and I say well done. I checked out the link and want to say congrats on seeing a style and moving past it and creating something you can call your own. So many people would have just tried to copy it and I felt you had taken it in and rolled with it ultimately creating something that contains a part of you.

It's hard to understand as I did put too much in it at one time or clustered some objects in one area too much, but it's just as I titled it; though at first it was just a drawing of my hand then I started to toy with that CD cover's idea until I got a full idea to do. <3
I never do that, or at least not intentionally, I saw the idea then just kind of used it but using different objects and my own style. And then went crazy and added some flowers in there since the lines started to look like stems.
But I just was inspired then just went a little crazy I guess. xD
But thank you, it's not quite often I get responses like this. <3

This makes me want to FEEL the hand and flowers. So smooth and the ink is tricking my mind. It's TOO stylish for me to clean up. This has excellent Contrast and Lines. ^_^

Yeah the hand and the flowers were meant to like pop out although I made the flowers turned upwards instead of sideways.. o3o
But thank you. <33

My inking can get me annoyed though; it takes usually days to do. xD

What do I think? I think this is an genus idea! I love the mix of abstract and realism here. And drawing your character was a nice touch since the picture is describing what the artist draws in general. <3 You draw your characters and still life along with other things, and are into using pen for art, so it makes sense. Ever thought of using something like this for your portfolio? I'd would be a nice idea for the first or last page of it.

I guess it is, but I realized I made the pen too slanted on one side by accident. xD
I love mixing abstract and realism, abstract is what I always use for my still life with pen anyhow and pencil I go for realism. It takes longer to do the realism in pencil though. xD
She was kind of randomly added in there, to kind of abstract it more, and I wanted to just include her into here anyhow, to make it more interesting. But what you described was the other reason yes. xD
Pen is my favorite medium after color pencil, and pencil. I tend to switch on which ones I like best. I just love those mediums. xD
Yes, I did actually it's in my portfolio which I'm going to update more since I took out every picture and have to add more now. xD
It's the first picture.
Thank you for the long comment , it's a bit tiring to just say thank you all the time without being able to have a full conversation. I like talking to people. <3
