Well this is interesting. A monotone. I quite like the effect. And I love cats so you can't go wrong with the subject matter. Great use of tone obviously and shading.

Wow Flood this is a really fine drawing you have posted that presents the color blue nicely. The textures and body language are great and really shows your style! Really nice depth. If I had to choose a favorite character in this scene it would probably be that little fairy! Great work Flood!

Well I am shocked they allowed you to be in a waiting room. Down here they don't. Even if you have a dental appt. They want you in your car... They will call or text when you can enter.
So... A waiting room and a nice pen?!! Go you! ;)
Great details on all your characters, but my fav is the mouse and pen.
Way to spend the time waiting Dude.
;)

    Not as bad as Orlando or daytona..they have open the downtown bar districts with compliance officers checking them out..still it's a mess but not as bad elsewhere I. Sure

I really love this! I would like to see more of your art like this. I bet it was a bigger challenge than your usual work. I like that you were able to give different shades of the color with you pen. I have given all of my 6's this week or you would have been the recipient. Don't you just hate it when people say that? I am sincere.

    I really never understand why folks show so lil respect to the sharpie and Bic pens..they are an unforgivable medium to work with. Folks can build scrap from car parts and turn it to be considered art. Yet after a half century folks still have a tough time accepting this medium. No Bic ballpoint is a lot easier to sketch with. I have a challenge for you.. pay close attention to some of these traditional artist post. Some will mention they used a sharpie pen. None of these artist know how to work with sharpie and Bic pens only like I do. They grab a black sharpie pen to do the outline and that's all they know what to do with it. What I find humorous is when they try to convince me of working with other art mediums..I'm like why..I don't work with any art medium .mine is a office medium..then folks think I do something special with mix media... nope.. actually I need a better scanner. My customers tell me when they receive the work the drawing in person is much richer than what shows online..I know I need a better scanner.. working on that one..wink. . thanks for the good review

A wonderful drawing full of colorful characters that make us smile! I especially like the little fairy flying in the bushes ~ fun touch! I am always amazed to see your talent, especially in this "simple tools" drawing! Nice work and always fun to see :-)

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


Very impressive, the drawing has really good line variation and shapes. A really visually nicely composed monochromatic piece. Your talent and deft of hand is well represented in this drawing. I think it is more then a doodle,it is a complete composition.
Nicely done.
Thank you for allowing m to comment and rate your work. Based on the media and the variations of techniques, and my knowledge of the media, it deserves a 6 rating, in my way of thinking .

Cheers.
Lucien

    My folks wasn't a fan of art and consider it was something of a waste of time. Other than pencil..the pen was my other drawing tool. So when I had my school books out I was also secretly drawing with a pen. Other than living in middle of no where in the 60's..art classes weren't offered except in big cities many miles away. This is the pen doodles I would create then. It is true though..one man's trash is anothers treasure..wink. thanks Lucien for the awesome review

Comment from Shadow catcher


Where there's a will,there's a way! A superb creation that only you can create,the detail is amazing and your composition is well balanced. Just amazing what you are able to create with just a ballpoint pen. Definitely time very well spent,and i hope your friend is doing well!
