Leopard

Ian — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 01:52:39 +0000

To start with I pencil in the outline. This took about 5 hours to do. Once that was done I went over it with white chalk.

After the white chalk has been applied I smudge it in and then start to apply the different colors. For this I used brown, green, and a bit of yellow.

Once the other colors have been applied I then smudge them together and afterwards use an eraser to clean up the picture and refine the drawing.

Bono and The Edge

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:44:48 +0000

This picture is done in chalk, what makes it special is I didn’t smudge the chalk. Not to be lazy, but with the type of paper I used it gave it a very nice effect.

Bono & The Edge

U2 Bull and Matador

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:40:44 +0000

While on stage Bono plays the bull and the Edge plays the matador.

Cello

Confidence

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:33:17 +0000

On the outside you see a confident person, holding her head high but on the inside you see a woman confused with her emotions

Dunes of Flesh

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:28:47 +0000

Similar to my dunes of ink picture, this one came first though. It’s a little more difficult to see what’s behind the dunes.

Innocence

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:25:23 +0000

I like this picture so much I’ve drawn it twice. This isn’t a black and white picture as a lot of blending of different colors went into the picture to give it the effect of a silhouette.

Irish Life

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:23:29 +0000

Jeff

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:20:53 +0000

Another picture drawn for a friend, these never turn out as you expect.

4 Naked Ladies

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:19:20 +0000

This was drawn for an exhibition. They were done using felt pen.

Leopard – Color

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:16:59 +0000

This was a really fun picture to pain, it took me over 2 months to paint and was extremely difficult because of it’s size. It’s nearly 2m wide.

Leopard

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:13:42 +0000

This picture is now hanging up in my brothers house. It’s 1m wide with a huge black frame around it.

Deborah

Pauline

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:08:49 +0000

Drawn for a friend, hope he still has it.

Qatatika Girl

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:07:14 +0000

This is another one of those pictures drawn from the Native American cards. It was called Qatatika Girl. It’s a beautiful picture and very large, about 1m high.

Patricia Rowing

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:04:07 +0000

This picture is of a person sitting down rowing. You don’t see the full picture, only her arm and leg.

Violinist

Ian — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:00:30 +0000

This is a great picture and it’s such a pity the photo doesn’t do it justice.

Zebra 5 or is it 2

Zebra 4

Captain Jack Sparrow

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:28:50 +0000

Captain Jack Sparrow, I was asked to draw this as a valentine present. It took a long time to do and I managed to finish it only a month late .

Baby Drake

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:26:21 +0000

Another harry potter fan picture. I just love it.

Troll in the dungeon

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:24:51 +0000

This was done as a present for Sylvie, we are both huge harry potter fans. I still want to do draw a lot more of these. I got this from the audio books. I would strongly advise getting your hands on them if you already don’t. They are great to listen to on long drives.

Melua

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:22:42 +0000

A cute face, the name Melua is just what I think a good name for the face. The picture is done with chalk on black paper.

Dunes of Ink

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:19:50 +0000

This is from the Dunes of Flesh picture but with Ink, it’s a lot easier to make out the women in the picture.

Sunbathing in Ink

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:18:14 +0000

I really like this picture, it’s so simple and yet so beautiful.

Vanderpers

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:16:19 +0000

This is a ink drawing of the Vanderper cousins, well, three of them anyway. It was drawn while in Groningen as a present for Leen. Ink is a great substance to create pictures with. I always enjoyed using it and have created a lot of pictures.

Zebra x 3

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:12:55 +0000

So you should be seeing three Zebra in this picture. I’ve been told that there are more than three, and maybe there are, but I only intended to draw three. So if you see more I’d be happy for you to point them out

Zebra 1

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:10:16 +0000

The Zebra collection, this are some great pictures. they were done with marker, felt pen, so when drawing them I couldn’t make any mistakes. As you can probably guess, I made a lot of mistakes, more than I’d care to point out.

Woman in the Woods

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:08:04 +0000

This is going to be hard to see, there is a woman in this picture. It was painted as a gift for a friend and I’m sure they looked at it when they first saw it and thought what they hell is that. But there is a woman there.

Simplicity

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:05:23 +0000

Simplicity is one of the first pictures I sketched after finishing college. I hadn’t drawn in a long time and I wanted to do something really big. This is the result and it was huge, over 1m in height and about 70cm in width. I got the picture from an Native American deck of cards.

Hulk

Ian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:01:41 +0000

This was a great picture I created for my brother Mark. I’m hoping to do a lot more like it, I think it would be very cool to have a superhero collection.
