Title: Pencil and Pen Drawings
Post by: gentle on October 19, 2013, 06:57:11 AM
I like to draw, but don't draw as often as I'd like to. There is some unknown force that will compel me to come up with something that looks decent, but it isn't always there. I feel like these are some of my best. I will put info about them as I post them.

This is a tree, you see. My girlfriend asked me to draw one. It's done on regular printing paper with calligraphy pens.

I call this guy Hank. One of my favorite songs is "Hank is Dead" by Red Fang, but I didn't begin the drawing with that song in mind.
It is unfinished and will remain that way, so I suppose it's finished. I drew this in sociology class with just a notebook and gel pen my junior year. It started out as Charlie Brown. Maybe I don't know what Charlie Brown looks like.

This is a tiger moth(?) that I found in my aunt's garden when I was 16. I decided to draw it because it was so cool and cute and fuzzy, even though I was/am scared of moths.

This is a Persian cat that kind of reminds me of Cujo the dog. I drew this during sociology class, too. It's orange highlighter with the edges outlined with a black pen.

This is probably my favorite artwork. It's called "The Devil's Trumpeter" because the datura flowers in his eye sockets are commonly called devil's trumpets. I drew the whole thing with pencil on regular printing paper, then scanned it and colored it in photoshop. I also added a cut-out filter. I think it looks better that way.

This a Mightyena, from Pokemon, that someone asked me to draw. It's pencil on printing paper.

This is the true form of Tom Ato, also known as Ash, from Season 1, Episode 42 - Showdown at Dark City of the Pokemon TV Series. It's just a stupid thing I drew during trig, but I like it.

Awesome work, gentle. I especially like your use of line and shadow to suggest forms without having to draw every detail.
