you posted them :D now, my comments ^.-

inked bottles -> ink?? how the hell you did the ink shading around? :-o it's a really original work!

Foreshortening made with ink (or it's pencil made?) -> it's perfect O_O it's my favourite among them (but with a tie with the last one).

Woman pencil portrait -> good shading on her. She looks so beautiful!

African sunset -> this is better than your desert drawing O.o OMG your skills grew up a lot!

Cat made with colored pencil -> nice cat, its eyes are magnetic :)

Acetate blue portrait -> you know, I love it *__* so sweet <3 <3 <3 and with a totally original tecnique :D

Congrats for your artworks my friend, they are amazing!!!! I deeply envy your talent ¬_¬ ... XD

thank you so much for your compliments.you are always very kind

the bottles are made in the same way the portrait blue.

behind the shades are made of foam with a sponge soaked in the ink and the white parts were made by removing the color with a razor blade to shave.

the glimpse is always done with ink pen, I took two months to complete, especially areas where you see the bricks

but the cat is done by rotating the tip, crayon so that it makes small circles of small, virtually any design is done in small circles all the same color for both gray to brown but accentuating in the darker areas.

I can just place the other

No kindness, I only wrote what I think ;)

Thanks for explaining me how you did the first one.

You did the inked sketch in two months? O.O you're so patient U.U

About the cat, the photo is too small, this 'rotating/circling' made with the the pencil tip isn't visible :(

with regard to the very detailed ink drawing is also the original. many told me they are very patient and that are too picky.

for drawing small circles in the cat, if done right you should not even see them up close, if you see the woman's face in black and white is the same technique but in fact the photo does not perform well

if I'll make a magnifying

Too picky??? nooo...just a bit XD

if done right you should not even see them up close

right, like an optical effect :)

I didn't imagine the woman portrait was the same technique. I thought the pointilled effect was due by using a soft pencil (like a B2) on a rough paper.

is really the same technique using a single pastel in this case the black

See a larger picture of the woman's neck, you can see the small circles. Again, unfortunately the photo is not the best because it is framed with a glass front, so the compromise reflected the image.

I love your paintings! Well detailed and lifelike! I prefer the cat, blue lady and the building~

This is random but, I'm curious. Are you left or right-handed?

1 year, 4 months ago

thank you for the compliments Chechan, I'm glad that they are appreciated.

Maybe I understand why I ask if they are right or left handed, it is said that those who are left-handed is usually good in the arts in general, especially in painting,

in fact I am left handed

I am very fussy in doing things, especially if I like them. The painting is one of those things and I put all the effort demand is possible to do them well, the view of the fact the ink redone 3 times before you see him as often and two I did not like the prospect however, you are also very good and you are left like me XD

thanks a lot. really was not very complicated. is a very simple technique if you can figure out how to use it, the only problem is to be careful not to slice the hand with the razor blade XD

You're doing a gift for your wife! So sweet and romantic <3 <3 <3

I like all of them n.n

My favourite is by far the field with sunflowers, so vivid and colorful! Sky, mountains, trees, flowers: everything here is perfect. I can't say wich one among this and the african sunset is your best oil painting. Uhm...I think this one, since it has much elements and details.

At second place I put the canyon with dromedaries, a nice scene indeed.

Third place for the mountain lake, dark pines trees are really well executed. Also well done the reflex into the water and the sky.

Last but not least the desert. Quite and contemplative subject. It's relaxing and introspecting looking at it u.u

thank you very much mirtillo and phoenolf

you should know that to finish the field of sunflowers took about 5 years, because when I was about to termimare I had a crisis of inspiration and I left out and then resume it and finish it. XD

others were much easier to finish about 3-4 days

while for the two deserts in one evening was over, it's as if I were born for that kind of landscape painting, when I saw the pictures that I felt I was inspired in me a desire to portray that I was not even aware of them finished, I do not know if I can explain,

you had that feeling of having done a good thing and be so happy to have done that you feel that you want to break your heart? so here I felt I and your compliments are the best gain that an artist may have

again thanks a lot

Inspiration crisis are not so rare for artists. An artist isn't a real artist if he never had an inspiration crisis ;)

But the others...you did them in less than a week???? Oh my God! So fast? I'm speachless O__o

Yeah, I imagined that you like to paint deserts, it's the subject you do most often ^^

Your feelings about painting are the perfect showing that you are burned by the holy art fire ^o^

@ blueberry I saw your Journal and you are not wrong in drawing comics, you should try to invent something of your own, maybe even become famous, and then as you are good with pc color them are not you doing anything. really compliments (I try to comment.)

Don't worry about the mistake, my friend, I was kidding :P but it was important for me that Phoenolf understood you wrote it for him. That's all. Don't get problem ;)

Thanks for what you wrote, I'm glad you like my short manga :D but I can't do a comic by myself for two reasons:

1. I'm not so good with drawing. I never studied into a comic school, I just love to draw since I was a child (it's obvious, all children love to draw XD). During my teens (when I was 13-14 years old) I gone through my otaku period till I was 18 years old. I wanted become a mangaka LOL I drawn a lot of fanarts in that period. Nowadays, I draw sparsely, just for having fun ^^

2. I'm totally bad on writing script and dialogues -.- the manga that you read was only drawn by me, story and dialogues are written by my sweet friend @Angelearth10. She has a talent for writing, so it was easy to draw this manga for me, her text was so fun, scenes and characters actions was explained so well. I just had some difficult on translation process, since my English understanding 2 years ago was much worst than now -.- I mean, if I must draw a story, I must understand the text before XD anyway, my English it's still enough bad after all LOL you can't imagine how much time takes to me writing in English -.-''' but luckly Angelearth10 is mother tounge, so she patiently helped me explaining words and parts of the story that Google translator doesn't translate in correct way (Google is the best web translator, imo, but some words or meaning are lost in translation :/)

although the response was directed at phoenolf, included in general all forms of art also do a drawing with the computer if it is done with the heart is beautiful.

sweet thought *__*

you're sweet like a kitty everytime you talk about arts! You really love art iside you ^__^

1 year, 3 months ago

Thank you for the compliments gabrielkx.

the girl was done with blue ink as a background and then removing the color with a razor blade to shave. In fact, the white parts are the scrape with a razor blade. (technique very dangerous especially for the hands)

The cat but I did actually crayon but with a technique called in small circles. I used two colors gray and brown and then I faded to various shades same technique used for the face in black and white but with black as color. I also made an enlargement of the face to better understand the technique.
