superb !
the art piece is classic. the man in action is pictured very nicely. the best thing is the medium you have choosen to draw.

Great job at creating a sense of movement. There really is a feel of the horse and calf running toward me. The detail is amazing, it successfully defines the form of the subjects. Wish it was a bit more clear. Excellent job.

    Jakels, maybe the clarity is the media and technique used, after all it is little dots and it does require the viewer to really get involved, know what I mean... thanks for the review... take care...LvO

I have always loved the dot matrix type drawing. It is so expressive and adds a true feeling of depth. This is a very good example of that. Great detail and subject. Keep up the great work.

Amazing work! The detail in this is fabulous...the composition is so very well formed and unique...and the subject matter is of great appeal. You've captured "motion" frozen in time with this very creative and highly skilled rendering. Fabulous work!

Comment from AussieArt


This is a very fastidious drawing of a difficult subject. Movement is one of the hardest things to capture in my book. I have attempted the same subject Lucien, in a different medium. I will put it up for you to see. However, I rate this high because it is such a nice well balanced composition with the lassoo
giving a sense of the movement. AussieArt

This cowboy drawing is very real and lively. All the figures are well proportional. The color contrasted is nicely done. The lighting is well balanced. The shadowing gives it a 3-D look. Excellent job.
