Description
Pen and Ink drawing I did of a gorilla a couple of weeks ago. Its only just dawned on me I should post it on here. I may be entering it into a local art exhibition with another gorilla picture I'm planning on doing.<<< PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR THINK YOUR OPINIONS ARE VALUABLE TO ME AND WILL BE APPRECIATED >>>

This is a very expressing drawing. The tones of his eyes are astonishing. The darkness of them suggests deep darkness. Well done.

This is gorgeous! A really great capture and pose. I love how its eyes are so dark, but you only drew a hint of its fur... you know? It makes for a beautiful contrast.

From all your art in your gallery I like this one the most. Unfortunately I am anything but a drawer, so I canΒ΄t really give a comprehensive critique. To me it seems that you did a really good job. Well done

I find this amazing.. you should definitely enter this into the exhibition. It's beautiful, you captured the gorilla's deep thought.. its focus.. what do gorilla's think about? The cross-hatching is so well done.. I am jealous!

I think it's really well drawn it's definitely a gorilla, the only think I could think to make this better is add maybe a little more gray tone to the picture. He probably has dark fur, so even in his brightest areas there should be a subtle hint of darkness beneath.

Very nice work. I like how only the face is heavily focused on.
The plain white background blends the gorilla in though. And it's a lot a negative space. Not that it's bad, but I don't think it's helping in this drawing. Maybe some heavy hatching in the background will help.
Other than that, awesome job. ^^

I like the details of the lines, and also the details of the shape. Somehow it forms a realistic gorilla.

Very nice, again
Reminds me the way I use to draw with ink when I was younger, leaving some blank spots and centering the attention in some eye-candy. Very nice and realistic drawing, I like the details that we can not see the eye, adds some mistery to the expression

I like it

Aww, cuuuute
Did you use screen tones in photoshop or something, or is the paper naturally that yellowish?
I think maybe a slightly smudgier look might go along with the style a little better (a little hard charcoal perhaps?) but it's quite realistic, very nice.
Is this hard pencil, or did you ink it?

Its Inked and the papers a bit whiter its just the lighting in the room i took it.

I see. I like the yellowing, it gives a very 1800s brittish going through the jungle feel

See what u mean it looks old even though I only did it a few weeks ago!

Yeah
If this is gonna be in an art show, definatly don't mess with it, but if you have a spare print around, I've been getting really good results as far as aging, playing around with coffee staining (freeze dried coffee on a damp rag) if you ever wanna try it. If nothing else, your picture will forever smell vaugly of caffeine

did you do this from observation or photograph?
