Shadow Fiddler


Oh, the joy of messy materials! I haven't used a crow pen in quite awhile (since I got my technical pens), and I must say that it is a joy. I had been frustrated by "blobbing", but decided that was caused by the ink getting too thick rather than the pen nibs themselves. But this was such a pleasure.

I started three fiddling pictures (the other two are handanger fiddle ones, whereas this is a "regular" or "flat" fiddle.

I'm not sure that I'm done with this. Already I can see some more things I'd like to do to it.... (but if I make any substantial changes, I'll change the image here.....)

  1. I like it. Why? Because it is not "sterile" , using such pen gives more "life" into the drawing. Keep using it!!

  2. Hey wow what a great composition, it's almost religious, like a pagan halo she has, and it's all very dynamic, I think the blobs are superb and add to the zest of the work.

    Actually I think your work is sailing on new heights at the moment. You obviously are fine tuning your technique and eye and it shows admirably!
