Well allow me to add to the pile of artwork here...

[MissChief]

Bivouac... Very nice!! I especially like the lighthouse.

[amberleadavis]

Great stuff!

[Yaakova]

I have learned two things from perusing this thread:

 

1. There are some incredibly talented people out there.
2. I am NOT one of them.

I have often wished for the artist's gift, but alas, I can only paint my pictures with words.

That is a gift in and of itself, Yaakova.

[Yaakova]

That is a gift in and of itself, Yaakova.

 

Thank you. I think it would probably take me more than "a thousand words" to express what some of the FPN members are able to convey with just a few lines and colors.

[Bivouac]

Bivouac... Very nice!! I especially like the lighthouse.

Thank you, Rare, you are most kind. Yes, I really like the lighthouse too.

Have I told you that I’m drawing CARTHAGO with Platinum 3776 fountain pen with soft-fine nib and Platinum Carbon Black ink? Both have never failed me, either for sketching or professional work. If this affordable pen is so good, I can only wonder how those top-of-the-line Nakaya’s are performing.

Wow! That is some very nice work! I have a bottle of the carbon black but have not tried it yet.

Dude, that totally rocks... How much do you pencil before you start inking? Been looking at the 3776, your pushing me over the edge... Nice work.

[pictogramax]

Thanks Bivouac and Prvt. Troter!

 

First I do a rough storyboard, a basic layout, to discuss it with scriptwriter and editor. Then I scan it and do detailed "pencils" on my tablet PC (because it allows me to go anywhere to work and it's easier to fix perspective and eventual mistakes) - you can see it here:

Then I transfer it to paper by light-table and ink it as shown.

Truly brilliant work in this thread. Thank you all.

[Bivouac]

Noodler's Ahab done on location at the Huntington Library. Somewhere I have a the start of a second version where I did a pencil outline of the tree so that I captured its sinuous nature rather than simply was experimenting with making marks with the pen.
