August 29, 2012 - Penmanship
 Yep you guessed it. This a pen drawing NOT a photograph. Mr. Silva, 29, does these pictures using only ball point pens. He creates intermediate colors by hatching the colors available. Check out his other nice works at: http://vianaarts.deviantart.com/ |

Mind boggling. Preparing tiger is always difficult what with the heavy lifting and the vengeful mate stalking your dinner guests.

Source photo.
Dude's extremely talented. But I don't know if "artist" is the correct word to use. He's just copying a photograph. It requires a tremendous amount of skill and patience, but I don't think it requires much of any artistic vision. He's a highly skilled craftsman, imho. (Unless he took the source photograph, because that requires vision.) Last edited by glatt; 08-30-2012 at 09:36 AM. |

I'd like to see him in action. Does he project the image onto a canvas and just hold ink samples next to the image to get the color right, and then trace that color? I bet it's something like that.

We need someone to overlay the original with the pen. That would prove that.

What are you all raving about? It's just a paper tiger.

We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.
