Description Ha ha, maybe not...

Got a little crazy with my ballpoint pen... Starbucks and too much Christmas sugar will do that to ya.

I know the proportions are rather atrocious, but for the record this sketch was done maybe a year or so ago, and I gradually began filling it in with pen. This break I'm trying to finish some old ones and new ones, and I always kinda liked this one... It figures, that when I post a list in my journal of what I'm going to draw, the first submission after it wasn't even listed to start with.

Ah well, I had fun with it And my apologies for the ugly gray corner... apparently the scanner wanted to contribute to the drawing.

Reminds me of Indian culture. I'm not sure why... maybe because of the markings? Or the fact that the wings look like eagle wings to me. Great picture!

Thank you! I kind of started doodling and just went with it Those kind of drawings are the most fun, until you completely forget about proportion or something else like that, which I tend to do a lot...

Thank you! Yeah, those wings were why I finally got myself to finish drawing, I liked them I usually like some random aspect of a drawing and tend to focus more on that part than any other, which is why when I use color my drawing's proportions aren't real great. Hopefully I'll work that out soon... thanks again!

Drink more starbucks, the art you produce is worth it. Fantastic job with the hairs in the tail, they look so silky

Hee hee.... I've got a stash of them from my siblings for christmas It's weird, I dont notice an effect from the caffeine, but sugar and the caffeine/sugar overload is what really gets me going.
The nice thing about ink is that you can make harsh, bold lines or small, shaded lines that wont rub away like pencil. Just so long as you don't mess up, since there's no erasing I've done that a few times and ruined some otherwise nice drawings... ah well, live and learn

Sometimes I cheat if I mess up an ink drawing and just put white ink or paint over unwanted blobs-of course, there's always Photopaint

It reminds me of, ahhh, what do you call it??? ey I can't remember but it looks really cool. What it reminds me of is like the indian style of art like wolves with feathers thingy, except this also has a glowie feeling like christmas. I'm probably just crazy, and i can't blame it on the coffee!!!

forgottenones In reply to PansyQuail [2007-12-29 02:52:09 +0000 UTC]

Um, ok! I haven't done any ballpoint pen drawings for a while, it has a much more contrasting, concrete look that is a nice break from pencils. Plus all the little details don't smudge away (except when the ink is still wet).

I tried to do crosshatching (does that count???) Do you remember that??? (Great, now I'm going to start crying.) *sniff* mine didn't look glowy at all. It looked like it belonged in the toilet!!!

I don't think I did crosshatching... and no I don't remember. Umm, that's nice...

Wow, great work with this!! The wings are awesome. Must have take some time to make with all the feathers??

forgottenones In reply to little-angel-girl80 [2007-12-26 17:43:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The feathers probably took the most time out of the whole drawing, partially because I couldn't decide on a pattern I wanted. I don't really know how long it took me, but I did it on a sugar rush so it didn't seem to take too long at the time
