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.

Unbelievable. Gorgeous.
Seriously, tigers purr? When, as they're ripping the meat from your bones?

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.
