Thank you so much for the kind words my dear friend.

There are a lot by the way. This art is called photorealism.

Check out some of my friend's gallries (at my main page) and you will be amazed more, as some of them are much better in this..

I had added this as a favorite a long time ago and now realize that I overlooked commenting on it.

As with your other work, this is more than another great pencil drawing. It is an example of art that inspires all artists to take their drawing skills up another notch. It is impeccably rendered as to line, tone, shading and depth of field.

The composition is extraordinarily defined by ever so subtle shading and lighting not found in the reference photo. As such, this is not merely a study from a photo, but a masterful reinterpretation of compositional values and spatial relationships that make this drawing take on a life of its own.

Somehow, your delicate integration of penciling techniques magically emanate a feeling of power and strength in an otherwise frail human being. Beautiful work, just so nicely done.

ajder In reply to ??? [2007-01-03 18:55:12 +0000 UTC]

an amaising reproduction... and amaising drawing skills as well... I am sorry but I cannot come up with anything better then that... I certantly would have liked to critick... but I just's can't find anything wrong ( probably because I am not as experianced as you are... and probably never will be ). I wish I had at least half of your skill... oh well... it's probably foolish of me, but could you possibly stop by my page and give me a few hints on how to improve my overall drawing and shading skills? ( I mean besides practicing a heck of a lot ).

Thank you so much for the kind words my freind.

I just had a look at your gallery..
Man, you have all the required talent and skill. You don't need help at all.

I am even impressed that you can draw with at this level from imagination. I just cannot, I always use references.

ajder In reply to emaghrabi [2007-01-03 21:57:26 +0000 UTC]

yea, but referance or not, your shading skills are WAY better then mine, so any tips would be apreciated... personally Icouldn't draw from referance to save my life. and thanks for stoping by and for the comment.

emaghrabi In reply to ajder [2007-01-03 23:09:34 +0000 UTC]

I don't see any thing wrong with your shadings.

I personally use the circulism technique and work on layers. I use blending only in smooth areas..

Visit art papa site. there where I started a nd learned a lot from the brillinats artists theres.
