Mark's art for Shelter page

Brilliant, thanks .

Glad you like it, it's amazing the difference having 2 extra tones to work with makes! (in regards to extra detail) (only had black & 2 shades when I did the A4 version) - A3 is black & 4 tones (I do have 5 grey scale pens, but shades 1 & 2 are too similar to notice the difference!).

Received the Rabbit and had it framed in gunmetal frame with a black border, gave it to the wife for her birthday, she's well chuffed, the kids however find it spooky




Cheers fella job well done

Thanks dude, glad you like it - it came out a little spookier than I first thought it would lol!.

Also thanks for the donation towards Shelter - should be able to hit the £500 target soon (as I've just got a load of new pens as half ran out at once of my grey tones!)

That darko one is amazing.

That darko one is amazing.

Thanks, it was more that it was a great choice of subject by maccapacca for the style I think - some lend very well the minimalist high contrast style others not so much.

Got a few in progress I'll be starting over the weekend a couple of requests on here along with,

Want to do a Cherry Darling one (with machine gun leg! - all grey scale but with red lips).

Also working on,

(which is going to be allot of fun doing!)

Still well up for a Columbo one mate, you pick the photo to use; as long as it's not one when he had grey hair and looked all haggard

A3 or A4, up to you

Yup that's one of the two forum requests I mentioned earlier I'll be looking at.

I did a quick pencil sketch to get the feel for it as my pens all ran out - but they arrived (my grey tones) yesterday so can get back to it.

Annoyingly my blacks ran out (ordered some) arrived, started one piece... greys ran out lol.. Doh! - got bulk this time .

I'll have another look for reference photos & post one on here to see if you are happy with it.

Got it today, really pleased with it. Thanks .

Glad you like it & happy it arrived, worked much better in A3 (as you suggested) along with the extra couple of grey tones - meant I could add more detail - makes the A4 one look terrible in comparison lol.

Cheers for the great donation as well .

Hi elmarko,

Did you get my email? Sorry Ive not been in touch much, had to get a paper out of the way and had to put this on the back burner. I did drop you some ideas but kinda need your keen eye regards the subject being a car and how it would work as a ink drawing to what photos I should try to find...

Yup, forwarded it back home but had a quick look at the reference pictures & they look pretty good - the second one I'd guess would work better but I'll play around with them in photoshop with different colour/light balances - going to grab myself a few more tones for reds/blues from the local art shop (if they have any promarkers) to see if I can start adding a small splash of colour on each one (a bit of red, or blue on the lights maybe)

I'll drop you a couple of pics over email this weekend when I get a bit of spare time to give you a feel for what I would look like.

Very interesting thread, just found this.
Messaged you, might you consider doing two, a celebrity and perhaps a sketching of my daughter. I will explain when you reply to trust.

Yeah, drop us whatever you might like in trust - I've done a couple of peoples kids at work (but don't put them online or here as they are obviously more personal than celebrities/cars or warhammer lol).

The only thing worth considering is that that young children are pretty tough to do well (as my style is high contrast & kids don't have strong/distinct features).

 

[elmarko]

Just finished off this one, got a few more in progress (included a few on here & a few from my work) - too many to do, too little time (As 4 hours each :O)

 

[elmarko]

Just finished Columbo! (It's A3 size) , now to start on the car.. (my arm aches)

If your happy with it, drop a donation into the Shelter just-giving page & send me your address in trust so I can pop it in the post.

 

[elmarko]

Got the trust messages, will reply once I'm back from work.

Hikari - sounds good, I'll look for some reference pics & send you a few to your email for you to pick from.

Tim - email me the reference pics & I'll see what I can do/let you know - colour is currently limited atm as I don't have a full range of the artist pens (building them up slowly).

 

[elmarko]

Had another bash at one in colour to practice for a request, not sure what to make of it - tempted to do a different once in black n white.

 

[Bony Maloney]

What a talented guy you are. Black & white for the win. Keep up the good work

 

[elmarko]

Listening to some Carl Sagan - made me want to do something space-like (digital signature as I forgot to sign it) - Our pale blue dot (up close)

 

[elmarko]

Another one finished & due to be posted.

£440.00 raised of £500.00 target - 88% .

Will try to get a couple more done today of the outstanding requests.

 

[elmarko]

Another one done as per a request earlier & posted away! - pretty happy with it but the reference was also well shot which made it easier!.

Having a short break from drawing (hands aching!) & re-installed some 3d modelling software, zbrush 4 here I come!
