it is referenced on a stock photo [link] by
Thank you very much for your wonderful stock!

It took:
ink, 0,13 and 1,0 rotring and 0,25 rystor techical pens, a3 paper, and... 17 hours 28 minutes!

I know the definiton of lineart, but this is NOT lineart - I work in b&w and have no intention of coloring this

ps. why is the full view so blurry? whatever i do, it's still blurry... grrr

EDIT: got a better scan, so the blur is fixed. Decided to cut the white parts after all

Spectacular, from the folds of the robes to the detailing of everything and the Celtic touches. Great work.

Khaoticstars [2011-06-16 21:29:45 +0000 UTC]

i love the piece and agree it is more then line art. I was wondering why you chose to not add the granulated look to the top two corners as you did to the sides and bottom?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

adalheidis In reply to Khaoticstars [2011-07-01 12:42:59 +0000 UTC]

well, the idea was that the top panels are the lightest, and the bottom one is the darkest. It's a very faint difference, i know, it's better visible in rl on the drawing. I don't know why, but scans, no matter how good or what the resolution is, never quite have the effect the drawing in rl has. One of the reasons i'm holding so tightly to traditional art
Thank you very much!

GrayWolfcg In reply to adalheidis [2011-09-07 17:30:08 +0000 UTC]

I almost wish you had taken this idea further, and made the bottom even darker, almost black with the white celtic scroll work and worked the botom of the middle section from dark on the bottom to light on the top... you get the idea. Even with out this I really like this drawing. very nice work. keep it up, I look forward to watching some progression in your pieces to come!

adalheidis In reply to GrayWolfcg [2011-09-08 07:51:05 +0000 UTC]

thank you very much!
yeah, i will definitely use this idea again, i need so much more work on the placement of dark parts in the composition...
anyway, thank you very much!

Khaoticstars In reply to adalheidis [2011-07-07 20:43:28 +0000 UTC]

she is amazing and im sure the original is even better. i know the feeling with art never looking like it does in "real life". and i like that you thought to make a difference the in top and bottom. creates a nice flow.
