Another hobby of mine is drawing (I have way too many hobbies, really).

 

Tomorrow marks the start of the annual Inktober challenge, where you draw something every day for one month. There is an official prompt list of things to draw, but I want to imporove my texturing using ink, so my personal list is going to focus on that.

Close up on my peice. Decided to push the shading a lot more to see how it would come out. As I did a quite complexe but subtle fill of pale pinks, greys, white and turquoise it was a bit of a challeng to crosshatch over them like I did. Had to really push myself. Also wanted to try doing color fades onthe outline.

 

All in all I think I need to work on my backgrounds a little more (too much of a side note at the moment), as for the sketching I still got a couple things I need to try. My D didn't really come out like I wanted it to, missing the pull a bit. Gonna probably try and complicate my letters a bit more or add some connections now ...

...As long as you have COURAGE, you can face ANYTHING....

This is a picture I took in Greece. I also made the drawing on paper (you can view some details/close-ups here). I'm going to start something new in the "Pencil Vs Camera" series, I'll try to see "through things". This image is the beginning of a new turn in the PvsC concept... Thanks a lot for your appreciated feedbacks and comments. Please, see the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album. The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10.

Convey My Destiny

 

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

 

Convey my destiny

That to my door calls

And spread its wings free

Before Icarus falls

Profit prosper days

Those to the roads lie

Balance each the bays

The oceans and the sky

 

Like corn in wind sways

My fate is to and fro

And nothing ever stays

That really has to go

Up to heights - to win

Mount the climbing high

There is so much within

Or efforts will surely die

¨Love the Life you Live...Live the Life you Love ¨

Bob MarLay

 

Location: Mercedes Museum, Stuttgart, Germany

I'm often captivated by photography that at first glance appears as though it could be another medium or leaves the viewer simply unsure altogether.

After 30 work hours it is finally finished! 50x70cm dip pen and ink on canson paper

Ansoo Lake is a high-altitude lake (elevation 13927 feet or 4245 metres) in the Kaghan Valley and is counted as one amongst the most beautiful lakes of the world. It is situated in the Mansehra District of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is near Malika Parbat in the Himalayan range

 

P.S:..though de weather was too bad but still manage to grab few shots.

Days Are Going Nowhere

 

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

 

Days are going nowhere,

Immortal at last;

Stillness is here and there,

Memories of past.

Years like unknown streets,

All going to by and by;

Remembered bittersweets,

Only a faraway cry.

 

The simmering fragile wind,

Crumpling nothingness;

Blandly from future rescind,

The fruits and flowerless.

Receptive to breath and sleep,

All is in steep descend;

The shining things into the deep,

Till its very own end.

 

Days that mask in dark faces,

Flowers with mouth of new;

Shadows passing moods abases,

And hiding realities construe.

Days are going nowhere,

Immortal at last;

Is there anybody aware,

The hour has glassed.

Right before Liz's lesson was released, I had been thinking about Tommy Kane's "draw your kitchen" assignment over at Sketchbook Skool. Thus this probably has a bit of Tommy Kane's "overworking" influence.

 

I spent about four hours on this drawing, beginning with about ten lines roughed in in pencil. Given the complexity of this view, and how some of the significant, yet smaller, elements (such as the cardboard box and small appliances) got away from me, I'm thinking that I should have roughed those lines in as well. As it was, those items ended up a smaller than they should have been, and I think that would have been most easily corrected in the "drafting" stage, when I was not so much "in the details."

 

I laid out my supply of Micron Pigma pens (1, 08, 05, 03, 01, 005), and started with the 1 for the foreground elements. Then, as I worked into the distance, I generally switched to smaller tips and lighter lines -- although not universally.

 

i did find, for example, that when rendering the cast shadows of the cupboard doors, that I needed a larger nib. If I continued, for example, with the 01 nib, then the shadows looked too weak. I discovered that even within a given cupboard door, I had to use about three different nib sizes (from the 005 nib to barely graze in the woodgrain to a 05 for the cast shadow). It was the same, too, for the foreground elements (only using a range of the fatter nibs), although for some of the final crosshatching, I used the 005 nib regardless of location, since I found that gave me the most flexibility (meaning, that I could easily make patches that were light to dark with the same pen) in adding various cast shadows.

 

i did find that it was more enjoyable to draw the guidelines first. I could be fairly confident that my big chunks were in the right place, and from that point on, I was freer to noodle in the details.

Child Of The Universe

 

A poem by L. C. Brown

 

The universe exploded,

A piece became the earth.

I rode in on a meteor,

Its crash was my birth.

Lava took me for a ride,

To cool in the sea.

I waited for millions of years,

For nature to use me.

I became a child of the universe,

With no place to go.

Then God gave life a meaning,

That's how I got my soul.

photo in Brussels not so lond ago and made the sketch as usual.

The composition may look a bit tricky and unusual, because the

model was actually standing in front of a large mirror… You can

Another proof of digital brushes (crosshatch).

Baby quilt for Jasmine, Andy and newborn Bella Rose.

 

This one isn't a Square-One-Studio original design but was adapted from the "Ice Pops" quilt in "Denyse Schmidt Quilts." I swapped out the colors and didn't actually use the pattern pieces provided in the book, just eye-balled the wonkiness. Also changed the quilt stitch pattern from border-to-border crosshatch to my own version of stitch in the ditch.

 

Really like how it turned out. Hoping Bella will grow to like it too.

Half Real

 

A poem by Katie Gabrielle

 

Half Real, Big Deal

Steel Wheel, Race, Race

Anyplace, Go fast, Not last

Shiny new, Race you

Bet you can't

Beat my wheels

Half Real, Big Deal

Happy Car, Goes Far

Take me, I wanna see

Shiny car, Go far

Along the highway

I have it my way

Half real, Big Deal

New Car, Goes Far

It's mine, So fine

Big deal, It's half real

Draw one for me

That crosses the sea

No way, You say?

That's a drawing

For another day

“Three is a sacred number. Some say it represents the trinity or three layers of the soul.”

King of the place, here is the mighty lion.

 

Some innovations in the series: drawing with colors and black paper... This is somehow the "Beta Version" of "Pencil Vs Camera". Many more works coming soon. I left the drawing unfinished on purpose (I wanted to attract the attention on the lion's face mainly). You can view some details, the sketch in progress and the exact paper I'm using here. I took this picture in Tunisia and I also made the drawing, as usual.

I took this photo in Poland and also made the rough sketch. The painting on the wall is a reproduction by Mirek K. of the "Girl with a Pearl Earring". I really love this painting by Johannes Vermeer but I thought a "modern" version of if would be cool too. ^^

Uh

 

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

 

I think she loves

Mr. Plant

Though he's a bit

Like an ant

 

She’s the girl

With the earring

And always through

The canvas staring

 

He has fire

In his big bud

But perhaps he

Loves her not

A project I completed in only 4 days for Magic City: www.magiccity.de

 

Join me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/benheineart

 

This work is titled "Urban Exploration". I tried to combine creative drawing and abstract painting. The giant drawing shows elements about city and city life. The colorful abstract painting contrasts a lot with the black and white drawing. There is a fashion mannequin in front of the painting with patterns similar to those in the background which makes it look almost invisible when seen from a specific point of view (Flesh and Acrylic).

 

Cette création s'intitule "Exploration Urbaine". J'ai essayé de marier le dessin créatif figuratif et la peinture abstraite. Le dessin géant porte sur la ville et la vie en ville. La peinture abstraite colorée contraste fortement avec le dessin en noir et blanc. Il y a un mannequin devant la peinture avec des motifs similaires à ceux de la fresque ce qui le rend presque invisible quand il est vu d'un certain angle (Flesh and Acrylic).

this is another image of the sunset across tañon strait from sta. filomena, alegria, cebu, philippines on october 10 2008. it was derived from an original photograph shot by the artist. this effect was obtained with the use of the twirl distortion filter. the image also underwent the crosshatch filter and was texturized in medium-fine sandstone.

Grasp the Mental Game

 

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

 

Life is like a chess play

One by one they move:

Pawns to a Queen – away

Make attack to improve!

 

Square to square advance

Grasp the mental game

Give the King his chance

Have a patience to be tame

 

Carefully observe adversary

Wrong move can’t be adjust

Chess art is like all military

No one out there really to trust
