From a fellow pencil artist! wow, I thought it was a photo at first.

Nice!

How long did it take you to draw that?

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-17-2008, 05:22 AM

whoa..

some artists do not consider it to be a compliment to tell them, but I mean it as a compliment nevertheless when saying: the first seconds made me thinking I was looking at an old photograph. Amazing work!

Dowly · 02-17-2008, 06:06 AM

That's awesome!

One question, you can answer me in PM if you like. How much do you charge from a drawing? :hmm: You do draw these for clients, right?

602Sqn_Puff · 02-17-2008, 06:21 AM

Thanks for the replies and kind words folks...the drawing took over 70 hrs and my aim in drawing is to be as photorealistic as I can get...which can drive me mad at times lol.
This drawing is just about to be purchased for £350....my prices range from £150 approx to over £400 depending on what is wanted, size requested and time it takes to draw.

Dowly · 02-17-2008, 06:45 AM

Ok, thanks for the info, mate. I better start saving.

My pencils hate me because I never use them in this manner anymore. Superb work! It's easy to overlook, but I especially love the grass texture.
