Wow, very nice.

Rogan Bidlow

Just the composition I'm looking for! Many thanks

sumrow

Thanks everyone! I start at one point on the paper and keep drawng till it's full. Pen only. No pencil. That makes you think before you draw. If you fuck up...you fix it somehow. The later ones I'm still working on have a kinda "X" compositon to them...

This is the first one I finished...

Silvy

Pretty neat stuff there...
I like the second page better I think...

You could say I'd think you're improving
Keep up the good work, and share!

That is some good stuff, I agree that there's a lot of detail, it makes you want to look at all of it to see whats happening

wario

Whoah. That's just... huh? I mean... cool, really. But still... what?
I LIKE IT!

shalafi

holycrapinahat. great job

vermin

Cool. I like the way you do the clouds. I've been working on improving my clouds lately cuz they end up either too dark from spending too much time on them or unrecognizable as clouds.

Yo! Thanks everyone!! Nice to get feedback. Obviously I get my influences from Robert Williams, Crumb, De Cherico, Bosch, etc.. Glad to see others enjoying them. I had a great time drawing them.

analinguist

excellent stuff, very chaotic.. it reminds me of something that i've seen before but can't quite think of exactly what it is.. maybe i'll get back to you on it.

Nice work!
Obviously much time & effort went into it.

I love art pieces that I can keep coming back to and find something that I'd missed previously.

sumrow

GSRider,

Yes, I love Crumb, Robert Williams, Kandinsky, De Chirico, etc.. I have a half dozen more at various stages of completion. I'll keep posting em as they get done...

wpulley

How about scanning that hi-rez, printing it on poster format and mailing it to my house?

FYI: The originals are just 9" x 12" sketchbook pages. I use a "Pilot V Razor Point (Extra Fine)". Great pens!! Unfortunatley they are not waterproof. So colorizing these with watercolor is not an option.

A Link to more of my stuff...

http://www.sumrow.net/gallery/Drawing

Thanks again for everyones feedback. I havn't drawn or painted since 1994. I got out of it for ten years, don't really understand why. I'm trying to form a new habbit of drawing every few days.

Thanks again for the feedback!!

isandro, there are high-res versions in my gallery... hint hint...

bernadette

whoa! that's some awesome stuff

what kind of pen & ink do you use?

do you sell prints of your work?

"Pilot V Razor Point (Extra Fine)" is the weapon of choice. I'll be switching back to an old school "Crow Quill and Speedball Black india" when I feel I've done enough of this farting around... and want to move on to actually "finished pieces".

I use "Pilot V Razor Point" because they are good pens and you can draw for days without them running out. However it's not the pen that makes the art.

I've thought about putting a few of these on Zazzle.com as prints. Maybe after I've drawn something worth a crap. These are just "exploratory doodling".

sumrow

Number 3. Fries are up!!

rrf

wow...
thats really cool man
i cant even fathom drawing something like that

analinguist

interesting multiperspective on the bottom left of the last one. it reminds me of chinese landscape painting on lsd.

rrf: I couldn't either, until I just decided to start drawing again one day. It's been 10 years since I had the spark.

Analinguist: Thanks!! I'm really not trying to "plan" these. Planning will happen down the road. Right now I just want to explore the paper and see what pops out.

Silvy: Thank you! I'm a graphic deisgner by trade. However I have been in a long state of inaction when it comes to personal work. My goals now are to keep drawing a little every day and see what happens.

cool cyclopse!
