your presentation each and every time is percect. not a spot out of place. Looking at the number of spots, I wonder - how big are these 'paintings' You would send yourself scatty if they got very large, though I did at times paint larger ones when at art college. Lovely darwing in blue. The skin tones stand out wonderfully.

    This like many is 8x11. I will do larger on commission but want to see the $ first. Takes a lot of ink. you know since I don't paint..just layer in the ink. Thanks for the great review

Love the use of the Sharpies! They can sometimes be hard to work with and you made it look really good. Also love how you did the water with the lines.

    decades ago i would agree with you, but with half a century working with sharpie and bic pens it becomes natural and quick. over all those years teaching myself the do's and don't's plus never had an art class in my life, i taught myself all kinds of things. If you go on Youtube look me..there you will find numerous illustrated music videos of a wide range of music and topics..if you dont go on Youtube, i did attached one of the videos to this post. you might have ignored it when you were reviewing this. its ok..just wanted to show what a Sharpie/Bic Master can do with these lil ole pens..wink wink..thanks for the awesome review.

    Wow you are self-taught! That makes it even more impressive... This makes me want to practice using Sharpies. Thanks for the inspiration!

Comment from Way West


A nice cartoon! Perhaps she is freezing and unhappy about it? Perhaps she is relaxing after a long hot day? Your drawing lets the imagination run free! Great job.

Comment from Daphne Oberon


Oh I like that Mark! An illustration by itself. This so professional and well drawn. The figure is really enjoying that natural shower! I wish that was me! I'd love to see you post another that is just a work of art unto itself with multiple content -- penguins and or bears and birds or.......

Comment from Sange


I like the sense of movement of the flowing water. The modest pose she has and different shades of blue in the water.
Something new and different from you is nice to see Dude.
SHARP as usual ;)

Comment from Linda Bickston


MK, you never cease to amaze me with your imagination and your fantastic ability to create characters and stories with your art. This female, i am supposing because of her modesty, is delightful. The hue of the water is perfect. Love this one.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


Nice flow to the composition, wink! Good use of colors and textures to create the flowing water. The composition has really good color harmony.
A very nicely done drawing using the color pen media.

Thank you for allowing me to comment on your work, which is always a pleasure.

Be safe, and yes, never stop believing.

Have great day, cheer.
Lucien

    thanks Lucien for the good review..i guess my grade for the zantangle is a F then since i didnt do it in a black pen and you didnt my respond to my question. no worries..since i never had art classes just thought you would give a true cyber grade for the project..its like my daddy always said.."action speaks louder than words!" wink.

Comment from Brendaartwork18


That's putting it mildly to me it looks freezing. Reminding me of when I first plunge into the lagoon. Great attitude and expression here. I like the various blues that indicate without a lot of detail what they are. That is clever. Often less is more. Goid luck in the contest.
