"Inspiration will bring us higher than resources ever will"
Something I've been working on for the past few weeks. I think what I said above pretty much sums up what this drawing is about and what inspired me to make it. Also the fact that I love seagulls, and one of my favorite books, Jonathan Livingstone Seagull have been helpful as well. The storyline of the book made the perfect scene (and sense) for what I tried to depict with this drawing.
- graphite pencils (regular and mechanical) on Canson smooth paper - some references for the details - 42 x 30 cm (A3) - about 25 hours
Thanks for watching. Hope you like it.
edit: you guys are quick! and so kind too. Thank you very much for the comments and the favs
I couldn't dream of a better illustration for that lovely book Hopefully we'll see you do a portrait of Donald Shimoda too some time! 'Illusions' is my all-time favourite, it's positively life-changing.

Wow, I've just checked your website for some new WIP's of this beautiful drawing and here it is, finished, waiting in my +watch list. This final idea the lower seagull is truly unexpected. And of course, it has to be the main "spice" of this drawing, perfectly representing the concept. I love the idea behind this picture and the technique is flawless, of course. You're a true inspiration!

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?
Especially the lower seagull of the two is amazing...like someone else said before: it looks like it's coming right off the page. Well done.
