Unique Pen and Ink Drawing of a Rottweiler
"oscarlover0" wrote I was commissioned to do an original drawing of a Rottweiler in my Unique style of pen and ink drawing, by a real Rott lover. I have decided to do a limited edition printing of the Rottweiler There are only 500 available if you're interested in seeing the Rottweiler check out my gallery at www.4uall2c.com/artori Email me if you desire any further info about Rottweiler. It is an interesting style, but I would not personally have it used for canine portraiture. It doesn't convey, for me, the unique nature of dogs and their relationship to humans. I prefer a more photographic style for dogs. But, that's just me. David www.geocities.com/sammiesdad/dogs.html |

That makes it spam but, hey, you got a hit. In fact, I like the picture, it would be cool as a quilt (can you tell I had a beer with Julia last weekend). For those that don't want to jump through hoops: http://www.4uall2c.com/artori/images/rottweiler.jpg -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Well I agree that this is kind of spammy since we had to click through a bunch of stuff and search the gallery to find the picture. But I do like it--unique style. Not reeeely unique - it appears to be based on a needlework style called "blackwork" - here are a couple of examples: http://www.nordicneedle.com/Merchant...ducts/1272.jpg http://www.nordicneedle.com/Merchant...ucts/1275A.jpg http://www.nordicneedle.com/Merchant...ucts/1271C.jpg There really isn't anything new in the world, anyway.

Christy Well yes and no. The examples you gave are much simplified. The work that is in the OP's website is divided into highly complex parts and patterns. I think she was innovative for bringing a style known in one field of craft and translating into a drawing style. My painting style borrows heavily from my time as a woodcut printmaker - and that's ok. And besides I don't value artwork on how "unique" they are but if I think they work visually and artistically. So to the OP, I'm an illustrator/artist and I have a quickie critique for you: I like your drawing style - it's fresh and surprising. I like the rottweiler images but find that the way it "floats" in the white ground a bit distracting. I think that the Polar bear drawing is the most successful as a total image - the polar bear and it's surroundings sit better on the page. I'm not so keen on the ones where the surrounding are done in a somewhat realistic watercolor style such as the image of the trout. Either go to a "crisper" style of watercolor or to solid areas of color. Experiment with both ideas. Have you taken printmaking? If not look into relief or intaglio classes - your style would make for some very interesting woodcuts or etchings. I could image an multi colored image where you have flat blocks of color and a final block of your drawing in black ink. Also look into Gustav Klimt - he used pattern in much the same way - especially the idea of flat pattern next to representation drawing/painting.

Oh, I didn't mean it to be negative. I thought it was an interesting adaptation of what is to me a kind of ugly needlework.

I hardly ever read that group. I skim through it for agility related stuff, and things with interesting topic titles sometimes catch my eye, but there is a lot of (cough cough) OT stuff and I don't have time to get into it. I'll have to go Lilo-hunting! Christy |
