Excellent! I like this. The simple form is very good. Your lines are good. I like how you have drawn this with one leg up showing to me that he is skating. Good luck in the contest. Great job. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Comment from Anne


Really neat the way this turned out with so few lines and only the black and white. I think you really caught the action in this. Good luck in the contest.

You have my full respect. This is true talent. Simple is not simple. You have shown a lot here with the pen and ink. Fine job!

Defintely captured the action in this image and there is wonderful detail and flow. Because of the angle though it makes it look like he only has one leg. Other than that there are some really great elements to it.

Comment from StRyCh9


Really enjoyed what limited use of color can produce. The action conveyed in this work is immediate and full of impact. Like the technique you used to create this wonderful image.

The simplicity works very well on this one. The b/w is adding to the quality. As I said before you don't need a lot of space to show your talent

Excellent work Lucien. This is a perfect rendering of a player who has just released a hard shot. There is a great feeling of motion and power conveyed in this work. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Nicely done with the sketch here. Your image is simple but effective. The pen and ink has worked well with the technique you ahve used for this.
