Tahitian Sandpiperby ~MumblingIdiot

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Storybook

An ink drawing of the extinct bird, the Tahitian Sandpiper [link]

The boat is carrying the rats which will be introduced to its habitat and eventually be responsible for its extinction.

This was done for the Ghosts of Gone Birds project and exhibition [link]

There's a hush in the air, for we shall despair!

Your lines look so natural, the detail oh me oh my.

Beautiful, amazing what you can do with white and lines. Love the water and the palm trees.

~laresistance Feb 27, 2012

so good ! your black and white work is just as strong as your colourwork. nice to see that.
I always thought colour was the most powerful, but actually it's not necessarily.
love the way you've drawn the palm trees

Thanks man! I really want to do more in black and white. I think it's harder to make work than it seems.

~laresistance Feb 28, 2012

it is ! you really have to make sure the whole is balanced in terms of black and white fillings.
I think Mike Mignola is really good at that.

It also means you've got to master light which must be one of the hardest things to do. You can fake it a bit with different tones of colour, but with b&w there's no safety net. If you get it wrong it looks really bad.

~laresistance Feb 29, 2012

yep ! but you're good at lighting ( "everything we miss" has some real great shadow and lightwork ! )

Completely beautiful.

The shading on the palms and the contrast between them and the sky — excellent.
