I love pointillism, I did quite a few pieces back in the 80's. Your composition of light and dark tones created with Sharpie is very well conveyed and if you only used one size Sharpie, I'm even more impressed. Either way, this is a great piece completed in a treasured technique. Thanks for sharing!

    Ain't it amazing what a sharpie fine point can do..Sadly at the end of the drawing this one was.starting to blend a lighter color since it was almost out of ink..so I took advantage of that To apply to the palms and plants that you see with a.lighter color. So úes this one pen did and died at the final end of this drawing..sorry no funeral..just trash can..lol. thanks for the great review

Virtual 6 stars!! This is an amazing contest entry for black & white. Sharpie should pay you an ambassador fee. I'm no body but I'm so tempted to write them about you. At very least, they should provide your Sharpies for all the promotion you give them. I am being sincere that you coups have your own museum of your Sharpie work. It's like you have a degree in Sharpies.

This is well thought out and planned and it us well rendered. The composition is thoughtful and creative. Maybe you're sitting there thinking of Chapter 3 in our book lol. Either way, this is a master artiest work!

You're a natural!
