Anthro / Traditional Media / Drawings

9.5 x 12 color pencil and a wee bit of copics

Surprisingly, this photo came out fairly true to color with the exception of shadows and shading not being as dark as they should be. The piece is also much brighter than it should be. I will get a high rez scan soon.

A lot of experimentation on this one and I am reasonably happy with the results but I'm sure I missed something.

Yeah, drunk and lamenting lost love....or to inebriated to sit up and reach the dangly pull cord to turn out the light.

As always, critique is welcome.

wooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww a rare white lion!

The fur is just amazing. I love that you use the pencil strokes in the hair direction and just make it so real. If Bacchus were a lion...this would be him.

You need to put this up as a print.

you've truly capture royalty in it's most dasmel state.

Enthralling.

This is just drop dead beautiful. Dude, every time I look at this, I'm like "how can you do this with colored pencils"?

The fur is just breath-taking. You always use colored pencils to add so many details, it looks like you spend a decade on each piece. I love his expression. He looks so sad and depressed. His face is sort of "out there" too, like he's totally wasted on the wine.

And don't get me started on the fabric and the pillows. I can barely color a t-shirt, but you do amazing work with all those wrinkles in the sheets. Lovely piece.

Thank you so much! It does take a bit of patience to do these things. I think I worked on this one about two weeks. A little bit in the evenings and a few hours on weekends. I actually spend much more time looking at it than drawing on a piece. I definitely don't draw at all like the books try to teach because I suppose when I first got started, I had no books and no one to show me. I do use a technique on my fur that I've never seen anyone remotely mention before. I've also found that the brand of pencils and paper makes a BIG difference. With my style anyway.
I use Polychromos and Stonehenge btw.

*LupinHen Jan 24, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Awesome. Its better that you use your own techniques, half the stuff taught in books don't look so good. Thats cool you use Polychromos, I was thinking that it looked somewhat different than Prismacolors. I get exactly what you mean about brand of pencils, I started with cheap RoseArt colored pencils and I noticed a big difference when I switched to Prismas.

I need to try some Stonehenge paper sometime, everyone has been talking about how great it is.

Beautifully done, as usual. You caught the emotion perfectly. It looks exactly what you wished to portray. He(?) is inebriated, yet it appears something is on their mind. It's not just the concept of 'being drunk' there is a /reason behind the souse./

Also one tiny critique. This is a male? I know lions in general do have the mane, and lioness don't. However it appears he is somewhat more efemistic than your standard lion. Since it's artistic licensing, it's hard to tell. It does look like they are a small-breasted female.

Oh I want to say too - you are dressing up my wallpapers on my main server. I have four pictures now, and this will be the fifth.

*teiirka Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Yes, this is a male and now that you point it out, I see the screwed up anatomy.

The chest and abdomen was the last part of this piece I finished up. I become blind to what I'm working on at the best of times and I was rushing to finish it so I could get 2 hours sleep before I left to drive to MFF last Thursday night. I will try and go back in and fix the problem area fixative permitting. I knew I shouldn't have put fixative on it yet as I always find problems to fix but it was being transported.

Thank you for commenting, I'm always pleased to hear any of your comments and critiques.

Please feel free to point out problems with my work, that is the most helpful thing to me and my feelings cant be hurt by criticism. I will only be inspired to improve.

BTW, do you have a Weasyl account yet? It is turning out to be a top notch site, small yet and quite close nit and so many of the more notable artists have chosen to set up there and many are abandoning their DA pages in favor of it . It is still by invite only but if you are interested, I would gladly send you an invite.

Let me know.

~kantuck-nadie Dec 7, 2012

Oh I understand totally about rushing, and screwing up. Great spirit knows, I've done some bone-headed moves even with my own writing. But as you say, we can only learn and improve, if we embrace the constructive critique, and kick the hateful critique between the legs with a rock-hard hoof.

No I don't wave a Weasyl account. I would love to open one if I can have an invitation. Thank you kindly! I'm about to embark on a month long marathon story writing to start my next round of learning to write and I'll be glad to post what comes out there.
