I love this idea ! At first when I saw the boy in the background I thought he was admiring the view. Then I saw the Crab in his hand and realized what was happening . They look like they could use sunscreen ! I feel as if there was someone else in the background or maybe even an umbrella it would not look so sparse .

Lol..here is what is funny to me..if have 10 other artists and a cartoonist (which is me) all draw the same concept we would all different variations of this scene..in your work you would do that , however I wouldn't..and there would maybe add other things and again I wouldn't. Unlike many out there I'm not going to explain what it is cause the viewer does recognize it immediately. I do realize that you don't have much knowledge of the sharpie and Bic pens by your comments on the skin. See sharpie doesn't have skin tones ..so over the last half century I have taught myself to blend in these pens colors..in this creation there are 5 colors blended in for the skin and not one is the color pink. If you want to put yourself into a challenge go out buy a 24 pack pen set and play with it see what you can do. If you have any questions after that give me holler and I'll throw ya tips..wink..thanks for the review

Thank you for your review of my review. I would like to inform you that I do have knowledge of rendering with markers and pen and ink as well ! I do know that Letraset markers do have a fleshtone markers . Part of my schooling as a commercial artist was product rendering with markers . As for the remark about the composition yes I may have done it different but part of my making a living as an artist I do have to listen to the suggestions of others and except that my way is not the one that is always correct,,,wink

Who has more fun down at the shore than a kid. Wait a minute don't answer that. A great drawing that captures the spirit of a day at the beach very well.

Comment from Renate-Bertodi
the technique you use here is different. As always, totally professional and perfect in every way. Interesting and carefully structured, with feet tailing off into the greens and head and arm giving balance to give the symmetry to the piece so as not to overwhelm it with waves. Simple shape with boy in the centre to point out to sea. Excellently balanced.

Ha, I believe you could do it! Great summer contest entry that shows two completely different activities in a fun way. Rendered beautifully as always and with great facial expressions. Good luck.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
I recognize that evil grin...with seven brothers I see it all the time...lol. This is a very good representation of summertime fun. I like ve the mischievous boy with his crab that he is about to toss upon the sunbathing beauty. As usual, your figures are expertly rendered as are the details of your waves and beach.

Comment from ArtistCharles
This is an amusing and realistic image. I think we all had our moments. There are so many ways "boys will be boys." Good presentation of this scene. Good color choices. Nicely presented.
