KEVIN'S DINO ART WIP

[kevin]

Ok, so I drew this piece once before, but it went out so fast, I got no prints or copies or pics made, so I am redrawing it to make prints available. So, the sketch is done, and I am inking--stippling, all dots--the first drawing I have done in months and months...

Wow, very nice. Congratulation Kevin.

I never saw the first one but this one is already full of life.

Looking at my hands... What's wrong with them ;D

[Griffin]

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Agreed, looking very nice !

[ikessauro]

That's a wonderful preview! Congratulations for you Kevin...

I can't understand how you and other artists do this kind of drawing... the dot method seems so simple, but when the work is finished, the result is incredible!


I think you are drawing a stego, isn't?

You know what kevin i put two and two together and realised you were trying to make someone angry and guess what i want no part of that. That is not cool and it is not the mood i want ths new year to start off like. I realised this and all i do have to say is yes i am mad and untill you fix whatever crap is going on im not talking to you. That is FINAL!

[kevin]

So, ok, here is the deal. I am not going to have this on a thread where I just want to share my art in peace. SO, I ask that NO ONE repond th Fran's comments on this thread. I have addressed the situation with the moderators, and will let them deal with it.

I am serious now, NO one respond. If you wanna debate her, take it somewhere els. If people do not honor this request then I will not share anylonget and remove the thread.

Why do you like drawing in dots?

[kevin]

A couple of reasons. I used to do line work, and i am good at it, but I got to where I was going too fast. Two problems with this. The first was I was homeless at the time, and drawing and sleeping in the park, so supplies were very limited, and stippling slows me down. SO that was one reason. The other is I do a lot of furry animals...wolves and such, as well as people, and I can achieve a softer effect with stippling. You can get a good effect with line too, but need to do it larger. The larger the image, and smaller the line, the more refined the gradient will be. But I draw at an 11x 17 size, and stippling gets me that softer look easier. Eventually, it just became my style. I have still done linework on largerpieces, and use colored pencils for my Pow Wow dancers. And, I have often done simple line work with Prismacolor markers over it, similar in style to Sepp's work. The only example I currently have though is a drawing I did of the Nautilus...the Disney version. I did it as a still life from the resin model I have of it.

Today's work...five hours. It takes a loooong time to do these, I am averaging around 70 hours of work...

I think my hand would cramp up having to do each individual dot!
