A small pen & ink study of my favorite martial arts movie star--Jackie Chan! The reference photo was from his younger days when he started out in the Hong Kong movies.I enjoy the humor and creative choreography he puts into his movies-
Excellent use of pointelism!(Did I mispell)?Jackie's one of My Favorites.His fighting Style alone,is to be Admired.Ever notice how He never attacks?But,yet...only Defends aggression down...until it's out cold!Well Done,Kathryn!
This is perfect Kathryn!! Excellent attention to details in this wonderful portrait of Jackie Chan!! This is so very realistic looking!! Exceptional work!! ~S
Excellent work, Kathryn. Have you ever made any instructional DVD's of yourself creating one of your portraits, especially in colour pastel? If so, I'd love to buy one!
Good work, Kathryn - this is a good example of pointilism. I had a good friend ( now deceased ) who was also very good at this style of pen & ink. I know you have to have a lot of patience to do this kind of work and you can't make any mistakes.(G)
YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT ARTIST...I ADMIRE ALL YOUR WORKS...JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND TELL YOU THAT I THINK OF YOU ALWAYS. BANDIT AND I ARE STILL HANGING IN THERE. HOW ARE YOU SISTER?
