Mmmm, little better than 2 weeks, wosan... the Marilyn Monroe in my gallery, same year, same size, same pen, took closer to 3 MONTHS, so I'm okay with the Gorilla...

wow! now, that's patience!
i really enjoy working on the details of my pics but i think 3 months would be far too much for me
... one could get the idea no that i design my pics in such a way that drawing them never takes more than two to six hours...
well, i think that's what i do

still, my respect for your work!

you are SOOOOOOOOOOO lying.....
this has GOT to be a photograph, who are you trying to kid, punk?????

............



take it as a compliment, that's what its meant to be...

err and not to get political on you, but.....kind of reminds me of good ol' W, dont you think? sorry sorry..i didn't say that

EXCELLENT shading....wow...the way you just flow into it.....so very good...

And i think only you could make a gorilla with a near-meditative look in his eyes.

wow

That near meditative look is something I've prayed for four years to see in W's eyes; it aint a gonna happen... Hell, I'd settle for near cognitive...
Thanks for your kind remarks; I'll make sure the gorilla never hears about the comparison you drew...

Given what I've seen you do with a pencil, Hyluko, I'd love to see what you'd do with a 0.6 Rapidograph pen... you might really love it, my friend...

Hyluko In reply to SRaffa [2004-09-14 20:19:06 +0000 UTC]

Hummm, I don't know what looks like this 0.6 Rapidograph pen but I hold pencils like a left-handed though I am a right-handed, if you see what I mean, therefore I wring (bend ?) all what are pens, unfortunately

Sorry about the length of this link, Hyluko, but it's one of the places you can check out what a rapidograph is...
This is very, very interesting, this preference you've got for drawing with your left hand when you're right handed... Did someone try to force you into right-handedness and this is your own beautiful rebellion? Or were you just naturally right handed until you went to draw, and found yourself favoring the left? Either way, it's definitely working for you, my friend.

Hyluko In reply to SRaffa [2004-09-15 08:32:49 +0000 UTC]

No no, I've always been right handed, but I hold the pencils strangely lol, like the left handeds, gah how to explain it ?? Anyway thanks for the link, but it seems it doesn't work... I'll find by myself, don't mind

This is one of your absolutely most charming traits, Princess; this secret left handedness when it comes to your superpower: drawing... by day, she's a mild mannered right hander; by night, a southpaw with UIMAGINABLE POWER!!!

this is absolutely gorgeous. it looks like you took a photograph of the gorilla. and you used pen? how the hell did you do this with pen? it looks amazing. it feels like you can touch the hair.. like you know what it feels like. and the face and hands... the wrinkled, almost leathery skin... you did a phenominal job on this. once again, you have impressed me beyond all that is measurable
