..this is one of my first submissions at AW.. it had several '1's' and '2's'..i wanted to get it back in my portfolio...i re-photoed it ...
graphite/bristol
Very nice, glad to see someone still willing to take the time to actually do something in pencil. I used nothing but graphite for years and there should be more of this.
I love this, look at my nickname and e-mail, one thing bamboo is symbolical is : a humble but upright man who bends with adversity yet maintains his integrity
Who ever rated this at 1 or 2 must have been a type. I would give it a 20. The detail is awsome. The leaves that apear see transparent are a cool touch.
Tiger tiger burning bright in (chinese) forests of the night. Fantatstic work a natural artist love the texture.Think there's a smile on those lips - just seen supper!
Why would you get that score for it ? It's beautiful, I love tigers, so I love this piece even more. Good work, keep it up also ^_^ Nice shading aswell.
I love art with pencil, charcoal graphite etc. My mother uses that media and personally it makes a fine portrait like those good old black and white pictures. The depth is really seen in this medium.Wonderful work
