Very nice piece. Solid shading especially around the eyes and a good rhythm throughout.
I do like the intensity of the gaze.
Line delineation of the Ostrich and fur on the baboon nicely achieved.
Good job!

I love your presentation of this work. Pen and ink is very exacting, and not easy. You have done a stellar work here. My favorite is the proud ostrich. Hope to see more like this.

This is impressive to view, the circle of life is well shown here in the different animals each is very well detailed , I like your placement of the monkey in the center. This is very well arranged with excellent shape and structure of each animal. Well presented!

Comment from avmurray


I thought stippling and pointillism was the same, but since you have done pointillism before it must be. You have however done an excellent job, and each animal or plant is done paying very good attention to details.

The Monkey has a fine centered position on the paper, but personally I would probably have placed both the Lion and the Emu a bit further down. I think then the flow in the composition had been better.

Still this is a great looking and well done stipple drawing, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    avmurry,

    many people think they are eh same. However, there is a difference between pointillism and stipple; the first is done in color and the second is done using a single color, usually black and white, respectively.

    thank you for your time and comments on my stipple artwork, it is truly appreciated.
    Cheers!!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Lucien,
An exquisitely drawn image of the "Circle of Life & death & recycling" each image drawn in minute & beautiful detail from the Zebra & her calf, the Ostrich, the Baboon, the Lion & the Vultures cleaning up what's left of the Zebra after the Lion & the Baboon have taken their fill. Created by you very skilful draftsmanship, knowledge of each animal's anatomy & then the ability to convey on you canvas what you eye sees. Good luck in th Contest.
Susan

Nice work! It is a pleasure to view this work you did. I admire your talent. The detail is very good. You had to photograph your work to post it and you took the time to make sure it was all you see. That makes it much better to view!
