Micron pen on handmade paper. I made the paper out of abaca with seashell, mica flake, and sea grass inclusions. Size is roughly 8x10.
The drawing is a piece of coral found at a MD beach. It is about 1 inch by 3/4 of an inch. This drawing, like all my drawings, was done from observation.
This is another in a series I am working on for my solo show in the fall.
Feedback is greatly appreciated...right now I am contemplating adding an ink wash in the background in the same fashion as my other drawings. I'm not really sure of the ink wash...
Grace, this one -- just like the others -- just shows how much skill you have. Ever since I tried the stippling, I even appreciate your work more. I like the depth you accomplish with your stipplling. About the inkwash... WHile looking at your other works, I was thinking that the inkwash adds to the quality and beauty of your work. I would go for it
Awesome work... And good luck with your show!

Hooray! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! About the ink wash, I actually had a review where everyone said they didn't like the ink wash. I like it, and I know other people like it so I was very confused...
I'm always in awe of how detailed your work is, this is a lovely depiction.

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
