Here's a piece of my artwork, thought I'd show you guys.

Jim, thats cool! You got any more you can share? Maybe a little bigger size too?

Good job.

Jimd,

Could you elaborate more on your technique -- free hand or trace, digital or paper, shadow effects? Thanks!

[HoB]

Very nice! What medium do you use? Airbrush, pencil, coal....? Picture is so small that it is hard to tell.

[Simon G]

Nice work Jim. :cool: Have you studied formally or strictly self taught?

[Fisher of Men]

Wow JimD

That's great.

You sell those ?

Thanks,
David

Jimd, thats awesome! Any spyder-knife theme you have not??

[Jimd]

Self-taught, not one second of formal instruction.

I work in pencil, pen, colored pencil, colored pen.

The sabertooth piece is done in ball-point pen, freehand, while I stood around at work during down-time. I had a picture to look at for reference, but no tracing involved.

I also do a lot of landscapes, light houses, old farms, barns, etc. And yes, they're for sale. Lately, I've been making 8 x 10 prints on my scanner/printer, which I can sell for a lot less than the originals. I'll try to post more....

[Jimd]

Here's a lighthouse, I sold the original at an art show...

Having trouble loading the rest of my pics, the limit is 100KB, and most of mine are much larger, so I can't download them here.

If anyone is interested, I can email some pics to you. I don't charge much for the prints, either. Sometimes, I even accept trades.

[Chris_H]

Impressive and again very nice. I'm glad you decided to post your work. Thank you.

[CKE]

Great work. I have seen it else where Keep it up.

[Jimd]

Thanks, Craig.

I've had a little luck selling my artwork, but it's frustrating, as I can't sell nearly as much as I'd like to. I'm hoping to actually make a little money selling my art, but it's so few and far between. Despite this, I'm going to continue trying.

Hopefully in the next few weeks, I'll try selling it on ebay, so I'll see what happens with that. I'm hoping that I can reach more customers, and that will translate into more sales.

That is nice. And it would make a nice avatar. :)

JimD,

very nice artwork :eek: ! You are really talented. You should definitely post more of your drawings.

[Ted]

Very nice! You could probably get that first one laser engraved on a SS Spydie? That would be cool!

Very nice work, thanks for sharing. Although this should have been posted at the "off topic" section.
