Comment from Janrique


I really like this one too, even though I can barely get my head around this pointelism (not sure how to spell) as it sounds so time consuming and difficult. Your main image is posted a bit too big but looking at the smaller version on the left here I can see how fabulous each of the drawings is.

Comment from Highfive


Lucien you are a very talented artist, and it shows in all of your work. This is a very nice ink drawing of frogs. Ink is very difficult to work with. especially on very difficult subjects, Again very nice ink works.

Cool frogs. I don't know why but I love these little puddle jumpers.
The light and shadow really work on these. And all those little dots.. I wish I had your patience.

Comment from HandlewithCare


Lucien: My daughter would go crazy over this as she is in love with frogs. This is fantastic. I love the different poses. I love to do these kinds of drawings. With dots. It's time comsuming but so worth it. Great detail on this one. I love the black and white
Thank you for sharing this. It brings a smile.

Comment from heatherzart


These are excellent renderings in stipple. I've done this technique as well and know how much time it takes. I like the compilation and how they are grouped together on the card. My only complaint would be that it doesn't look clear and crisp which has to do with how it was reproduced not the artwork itself I suspect. It's a shame when such beautiful skilled work is shadowed by a poor representation. I scan all of my work at high resolution and then adjust the computer files for accuracy. I brighten the whites, darken the darks and take out any distortion. I'd like to see what this looks like with a clean crisp print.

    yes scanners are a difficult instrument to play with at times, as are computers.

Comment from sandybronk


Beautifully executed. I love all the frog images scattered artfully through out the piece. I am not sure of what the technique is called, but this is more than a sketch or drawing and it had to be very detailed and time consuming work.

    yes, time consuming technique, but the end results are usually good for me.

Comment from Rafaela King


I really like how you used the line and techniques in this piece to create the postcards.
I like that you have several different frogs in different positions.
Great work

    LvO the lines do come in handy when use correctly within a composition.
