This is a very beautiful picture. Your technique is very excellent. The lights and shadows works for you. The many details makes your image very attractive. Excellent

Very nice Lucien. This is one of the finest examples of stippling that I have seen posted here on FAR, very well done. Great details. Good luck in the contest with this piece.

Comment from Rons Pen Art


Fabulous piece, it is amazing how all these tiny dots form such an interesting real life format! How many hours for this one? I like the grey background as well, very fitting and works so well with the seal! Thanks for sharing, take care!

I don't know about bubba but I like it and think it will fit fine. Lovely detail and the back ground seems textured..
Love the look of strength on his face.
Excellent work Lucien!

This nature traditional art composition is excellent. I really like the way you have used stippling to create this composition.
Initial impact is excellent.

Nice shading for the elephant seal portrait. The color blending is awesome for the background. Really detailed textures with the neat tonal movements.
