Coral Reef Pencil Drawing

Posted Mar 26, 2005, 11:25:29 PM UTC

Here is the next stage of my Coral Reef illustration for Alice Carter's Tidepool class. I've drawn in all of my 50 species and I am ready to move on to the next step, adding tone. The tonal drawing is what will give the illustration a mood or feeling. I will have the tonal drawing finished and uploaded soon.

UPDATE May 20, 2005:
I scaned the image instead of photographing it so now it is easier to see it.

Wow, this looks amazing! Sucks me right into the ocean, it's so easy to imagine all the colors and the gentle sway of the corals and the fish swimming by.

Also, I love those turtles...

Fantastic work

Holy cow! I saw the finished product at your other site but I didn't realize the linework involved in creating it. Your linework is just as good as anything finished out there. I have one question though...how'd you keep from going crazy?! This would of driven me insane!

  I'd have to say it's my teachers that keep me from going insane. They have a high standard and they always help us to get there.

  Yeah the photograph didn't come out too well. I'll try and tape it on the wall and take another photograph. It's just so big that the flash can't light it evenly. Thank you for your comments.
