Kodabble's Dabbles

She might be scantily clad, but she looks very natural. I love how you capture wings!

I've always loved your pencil work Kodabble I think your work really shines best in black and white. These are pretty fantastic. That Gandalf drawing is one of my favorites.

Thanks Thomgirl and Evil.
Evil you are probably right, I really struggle when it comes to color as I tend over saturate them and have a bad eye for color composition. Still I'm trying to improve on that
Anyway a couple of my oldies from the mythological types.
First a Centaur. I did a little Photoshop adjustment on her head. When I originally drew her I imagined her head as being proportional for a horse, The final looked a little odd so I've reduced it some.



Second My version of the Little Mermaid. Note this was done 5 plus years before Disney so maybe I should get credit for Flotsam and Jetsam.

Very nice pencil works, Kodabble. Particularly like the bottom one.

Yeah... you might have a case there Kod!! Get on to Disney and have a word!! I am sure they will be happy to give you a nod and a wink!

All these drawings are rich and fascinating. Really enjoying this!

Stunning pencil work! The Little Mermaid piece is amazing, and so is the bird lady & story telling dragon. Top notch stuff.

WOw that's some really talented looking stuff. Amazing amount of detail out pencil !

Thanks Everyone for the comments.
Yes the fine lines come from using lead holders as opposed to standard pencils. These can be sharpened into a very sharp points. After all I had a bunch of them hanging around after drafting went to computers. That was also how I got a surplus drafting table for $25 as they replaced them with computer tables. Who would guess that art would move that way with color monitors and sophisticated software.

Here are two more scans
1) The High Towers



2) The Huntress (This was a smaller piece then the others)

Nice! The castle is awesome.
