h there this is a pretty cool piece of stippling here , the detailing is well presented here and the expressionism is good too, but the neck i feel need to be completted more and the white in the background not sure if its the background or if its meant to be the whiskers, if its whiskers, they dont look attached though!
thanks ty
!:)

This is fabulous. Love the position and the shadings are wonderful. The design and composition are really unique. Love the background as well, really brings out the detail.

Comment from Freda O


Hello Lucien. This is a great art piece. I have tried my hand at pen and ink, and it is so time consuming and tedious, but a rewarding medium. I like the overall drawing. But the mouth, In my opinion, is not clearly defined, and the nose on the left side needs more definition. Still a great art piece/

Your technique really works well. I like the subject matter and the detail is very good.You left just enough blank to stir the imagination and let the mind take it to the next step. Well done

    Hi Lucien I just went through some of your porfolio I'm not sure how the book thing works but I see there are pages , and have looked through the stippling work . I senserely think the pieces in there are not just excellent ,but wonderful illustrations
    you seem to be mastering the stippling technique ,and the reason I used the word Illustration , is because some of the animals are so beautiful
    I would love to see them in a book
    Bravo Lucien, and again good luck

There is a ton of work that went into this. In real life these guys are something to see and they come in many shapes and varieties. I like the way this one approaches being very realistic and yet done with a difficult technique. I'm certain he can smell me!
