Extremely colorful with a ton of intricate detail. All sizes and shapes, and even a tattoo. A fantastic sharpie drawing Mark. There is a hell of a lot of work in this piece.

Please consider this really a 6 because it deserves one and I am all out. Lots of drama and detail and great color and technique. I like the angle at which you have placed the viewers eye. Very creative.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten
I like the drawing, it reminds me of grandma mosses type of a piece. The flow and the way you created the beach scene is very reminiscent of summer on the beach. Colors are good on the people, also the various body types add texture and breaks up the space well and makes it an interesting drawing to look at. The only thing missing is the wisps of sand being kicked up as people walk n by and the expression of disgust(LOL).

The piece has good depth and the perspective, a very well laid out and then rendered composition.

I know that song - one of my favourite summer song - reminds me of exactly this scene cause thats what was going on in my life - i was always at the beach
Nice job - too bad you can't add music to a pic - but this illustration sure brings that song to mind
Great job

Good ol' Mungo Jerry. This looks like a beach from a normal area. People of all shapes and sizes. Out of shape and in.

Good old Mungo Jerry .

Comment from shoregrass
What a phenomenal perspective to this piece creating the kind of depth that has allowed you to include so many elements and people in one scene very much like a photographer would do. Beautifully composed angle leading the viewer's eye from the bottom right to the top left like a fly over with a natural and perfect cropping again like a photographer would do. I think I counted 31 or so people here plus all the normal things one would see at the beach. All superbly rendered in you pointillist style. Excellent and one of your very best.
