Those are very good. I really like the third drawing with the fire and stairs. Spooky.

thanks. the creepy one was somewhat inspired by the book i was reading at the time, <i>house of leaves</i> it's one of the few pieces i've done w/ purely my imagination. i mostly draw thru observation or copying a picture. and i don't normally like drawing with my imagination, thinking they're too simple or just not very good. but i liked how that turned out as well. :)

wow that gorilla one is awesome. nice detail and lighting

Damn they're good..
You think your web cam sucks?!?
bah @ that.. that's some good imagery you got goin there..
What are you using? :)

The gorrilla ones are great. It's very stylish and life like. Your other stuff is good too. Keep up the painting.

I like the first one the best. It reminds me of one of those paintings of those Asian girls that are made to look more American/ You know the ones I talk about? THey sell them on purses and stuff now. Anyway...
Nice work. Do you use charcoal?

now that i think about it.. all those ones are charcoal. except for the last one.. it was white conte crayon.

my webcam is uhm.. intel snapshot.

Yeah, bravo on the Gorilla drawing. Amazing work there.

You replaced the gorilla face with your own? Hmmm....still looks like a gorilla to me.

Oooohhhh.......you meant the first one. My bad.

You are very talented.

I really like the first Gorilla.

real nice work!
Thanks for sharing your vision with us here.
You've got the touch!

I like the contrast. Not many people use light and dark paint well enough. It takes more skill to develop shape using black/white instead of color.

hehe the first gorilla is just the unfinished 2nd gorilla.. but it came out as a clearer, more detailed picture than the 2nd..

thanks for all the comments :)

The gorillas are excellent, I wish i could draw like that.
