Nice Job!
A wonderful piece of line art!
Beautiful composition and a steady hand.
I am thinking perhaps you his would be good as a base for your watercolor.

I am so glad you won!
Woot!

This line work is very well done. What I like is that even though there is no intense shading, you can still see detail in the drawing. This would also make a great painting. Well done and thanks for sharing this fantastic drawing with us. :)

This is simply lovely, Linda. The simplicity of the black and white just works beautifully. As someone whose drawing skills tops out at stick figures, I am in awe of this kind of talent. I'm so happy that I hopped over to art to review today. It is a joy to view this. Thanks for sharing.

Awe, the Blue Heron, my favorite bird. I love the simplicity of this with just enough detail to add just enough reality. I like how you depicted the feathers. Nicely done.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


Yes. Line drawings look best in black ink. I use them always in different sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1,0 mm. This is a nice work with smooth flow of lines. The finished drawing has balance and has the feel of spontaneity. Good luck!

Linda, wow, I think this is just awesome!

Very reminiscent of Audubon to me, minus the color of course.

Wow, now you are inspiring me! Lovely lines and a great setting. LoVE it!

Viewing your Blue Heron daring reminds me that lines and shapes are often the impression that ast in the mind of and serious viewer. Your have sued yout lines and shapes with shadows to create and excellent drawing that could make an excellent piece to display in a frame and hung on that special wall for others to enjoy.

Linda this is a delightful clean and detailed line drawing. The very clever use of directional strokes give the leaves and bird a good 3 dimension appearance, well done.
