Description This is an image I made for my media course that finished up a couple weeks ago. I was actually pretty proud of the results so I figured I'd post it up The assignment was to draw a map and a detail of some place in our hometown that was special. So I drew a favorite mountain bike trail from near my old house (back in high school)

The image is a hybrid, graphite drawing/digital painting. Its kind of a new technique for me... I usually don't like to mix natural media and digital... but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they seemed to merge in this instance.

Anyway, I hope y'all like it!

Comments/favs/inane babble is always appreciated!

edit: spelling is my dooom... dooooom I say!

Cool. I love the blend of a map and an up-close picture here. It looks like he's looking from another hill at the route.

I feel like I should know this route but I can't figure it out...

Wow, this makes me want to go dig my bike out again and skip work for the day. Been ages since I went mountain biking....

Very cool pic, and you're right: the two mediums do mix well. At first I thought you were supposed to be on a high bluff overlooking the place, untill things started to not line up quite right for that

Heh, I was worried people might think that! I wanted the two scales to blend together... but not so completely as to confuse people... oh well! Thanks Wes!

That'd be amazing to go downhill on. i can almost feel the wind...

Very nice drawing, very realistic. If you wouldn't have told us it was mixed media, i would've thought it was by hand (except for the little red something down there. xD Can't think of its name!) and for the clouds.

amazing.
