I really do enjoy the piece. The eyes are so on, especially her left one in perfection; right one The white around the nose is nice, and the mouth. This is quite professional for this type of work.

    Glena,

    thank you, yes I think for the most part it shows what can be done using pure colors used in the pointillism technique to create a nice piece of art.
    I am please the hear you enjoyed and like the drawing.
    have a good day,
    Cheers.

Comment from Lisa Davey


This a beautiful piece. This dot system of creating art before pixels were invented, is still one of my favorite mediums. This is masterfully rendered shading with multiple colors and clusters. Excellent work!

    Brian,
    it is not in any new contest, I just wanted to put up some art and allow people to review it and get a few dollars. maybe no such a good idea.

    Thanks for reviewing the piece.
    cheers,
    Lucien

Comment from Charlotte Morse


Another lovely piece, but again one that was posted a long time ago - maybe you've re-posted both in promotion of your book?
And again I wonder if it's from an old contest or if you're entering again in this new one?

This is an amazing piece of pointillism, this drawing of a lioness using color artist markers. It amazes me that one create something with dots. But you have done it well!

Lucien,
A beautiful image of the Lion's muzzle & penetrating golden eyes looking straight through you as you created his image using the pointillism method of building up the image for by dot beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this lion to roaring Life.
I'd love to see all of his majestic head!

    shadow catcher,

    I am pleased you liked it well enough to award it a 6 star rating. I am honored by you giving the drawing this award, it means a lot.

    Pointillism is one of my favorite ways to draw, it forces you to really look at the subject, the structure of the object or scene and the colors that are there as you dissect and then reconstruct what you are looking at.

    Thank you for your time and kind words in your review of my lioness drawing, and the wonderful rating, your time in doing so are greatly appreciated.

    as always, Take care of yourself and have a good week.
    sorry for my late reply.

    Cheers,

Great work of pointillism Lucien. The details are wonderfully done. The pose and look of the face gives a somewhat calming sense. The eyes capture the attention right off.

Great work here Lucien. Bravo ~ Steve

This close-up is impressive. I am amazed by the realistic detail you archived. The eyes and the reflections in them are especially striking. The proportions are exact. The colors are realistic. The shading looks perfect to me. The tight framing is adequate. The drawing is excellently composed and framed.
