Nicley done with the collage part of this sketch. Your presentation is good and the use of the pen and ink has done a great job on this.

    Dazzleme,
    Glad to hear you like this one.
    All I can say is thanks for the time and the writing of the review, I know both take time and effort on your part and I do appreciate you doing both when you looked at this drawing.
    Happy New Year... cheers!

I love these, LVO. Your skill with the pen is definitely in evidence here; the detail is quite fine and accurate. Good mix of species, too. Each and every smile on these froggy faces is pure delight! Thank you for sharing with us!

Comment from Snopaw


Great drawing of the frogs Lucien, a step up from 7 lines (just kidding). Really great details on this piece with many different species depicted. Love your shadowing and contrasts.

    Snopaw,
    oh yes but it was understanding the seven lines (and several other concepts) that got me here. (and I'm serious, lol!)
    I am very pleased by the fact you like this image and that you took the time to write the review to let me know your thoughts about my work. I appreciate and value both efforts and the support.
    Thank you and as always cheers, and have a Happy New Year.

Comment from Taddy


This is a great postcard. I love your drawing of the frogs.
You captured them and their movements so well with your talented pen and technique. The shading and detail of each one is excellent and I like the way you have presented them.
Most eye catching. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Wolf-girl


This is so sweet, look at there little fellas, this must've taken you a while too as I can see you used the dotting technique (sorry, novice here, dont know what thats called) The proprtions are excellent, a beautiful montage. Well done on the award too. Thanks for sharing.

    Wolf-girl,
    the technique when using black and white is called stippling and when you do it in colors it is called pointillism. Yes, these types of drawings and painting take along time, longer then most. (that's the lesson for today.)

You are very good at drawing. The many details makes it very interesting. The light and the shades ad a lot to the overall view. The simplicity is working very well, like the b/w color. The proportions are very excellent.

    Suz,
    yep, all with little dots of ink laid down one at a time by hand.time consuming but it sure slows you way down so you really have to look at what you are drawing, because once that dot is there it's there!

    lilscoupe00,

    I hope you will look at more of my work and not be afraid to comment. yes the fact that each one stands up on its own makes the all portions of the composition stronger, the eye can go anywhere and enjoy the view.
    Thank you for looking and the comments, appreciate both efforts on your part.
    Happy Holidays... cheers!

I like this a lot. I am amused by frogs and you have captured them in several different poses and activities. Your detail and use of depth is very good. I like the way you have done the shading and light througout. Cute little fellows.
