pen and ink stipple

Now Penmaster remember I never had any art class. What is stippling? If you're talking about the multitude of images that creates one theme my self taught called it dimension. Am I on the same track just ignorant of the proper terminology?. The facial expression is excellent. The depth is excellent. The details is excellent. The shading is superb. The creation is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. So very creative and awesome work overall (standing clapping and cheering) wooooooohhooooo

    MK,
    thank you for your time and critique of my artwork, it is truly appreciated.
    I am pleased to read you like this stipple drawing. Stipple is usually a single color, while pointillism is using colors to create the drawing. Both use only dots applied by hand to create the artwork.
    I am honored by the 6 star rating you awarded this drawing.
    Have great afternoon.
    Cheers!

Comment from Hilma A.


I love everything about this wonderful drawing. It's been a long time since I've seen a real pen and ink drawing using the stippling effect you've used here. I love the montage effect and even love the texture of the paper. Very nice work!

This is a excellent presentation, representative for fauna and flora of Africa. The monkey at center is especially impressive. I admire the attention to exact proportion and perspective and the clean and clear drawn detail.
The FAR watermark is a draw back since it covers interesting detail at the right corner, but this will not influence my rating since the watermark is not part of your drawing.

    It was my pleasure to review your work! Don't worry about being late. Usually it is me who is late with replies :o)
Comment from Dan Hancock


Wonderful detail. What is unique id that rather than feathering the lion, you feather what looks to be a baboon. The portrait of the ostrich and the zebra scene is well done. The use of vultures cleaning a carcass is also seldom seen. Very well done.

This is a beautiful illustration. Love how you have captured the different animals of the wild. They are well drawn and positioned. Shading is excellent. Wish you luck in the contest.
