But to me Dec's art just isn't the same without the spotted blacks. This certainly has its own little charm though.Stephen Mooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836431935192025347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685235.post-20263769956563832602009-03-24T21:22:00.000+00:002009-03-24T21:22:00.000+00:00Just the basic lines and nowt else.

I think because i didn't construct the drawing from scratch (ie, from a newspaper photo) i didn't feel like everything had to be 'fleshed out' so i could just put down a line more confidently. Helps i was doing it in pen. I reckon you suffer from the same except a more extreme version, as you show nearly everything that makes up the form of a figure, which makes it harder to pull back.<BR/><BR/>Hey Rich, glad you like the sketch. I dunno if i get more people on my blog than yours ...more comments i guess... it's official; It's okay to look at Rich's blog.<BR/><BR/>Dec.Declan Shalveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629128268774530529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685235.post-26583388693126628422009-03-24T13:37:00.000+00:002009-03-24T13:37:00.000+00:00Really like this.

As much as we all fall back on standard faces we also tend to fall back on standard techniques. I tend to render, and you use shitloads of black shadow. Nothing wrong with that but we usually get interesting results when we leave our comfort zones.Stephen Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159940664827218221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685235.post-39102342945179582702009-03-23T21:13:00.000+00:002009-03-23T21:13:00.000+00:00This is actually a really nice sketch Dec, for som...This is actually a really nice sketch Dec, for some reason I always seem to like the less is more approach.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind Dec, but seeing as how you get more people on your blog than me (hell a mass murderer would get more hits on his blog than me), I just want to say people it's okay to come back to my blog the naked pics of myself have been removed it's safe once again.
