E is not for gecko...as you can plainly see; but, if you were to see one of these in your bed you might just yell.."EEEEEEEEEEEEK!" (yup, ya' gotta click on the image to see the hours of detail...please make sure you do so so that the carpel tunnel pain feels vindicated!)
very nice, worth the pain! I have a gecko tattoed on my right calf...love yours!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of detail. Wonderful job with the shading and depth. You are right I would yell if one got in my bed. ;)
ReplyDeleteYup, worth the pain grEat dEtail! Hhhheeeeee, rEminds mE of whEn Dad told Mum GEckos don't have tEEth so pick it up and take outside. Mum ran scrEEEEEEaming through house with gEcko suctionEd sEcurEly :)

ReplyDeleteGreat drawing!
Caroline at http://caroslines.blogspot.com just introduced me to Wabi-Sabi and made me a gecko card for my birthday which can be seen on my Flickr site. Bizarre! BTW you're vindicated!

ReplyDeleteLove your gEcko - so much detail and also a great overall shape!
ReplyDeleteOK.. you made me look ... I hope you are happy now!
ReplyDeleteI really like those TOES! :o)
I agree with your posting! I went down to florida in October, and was amazed how people live with all the geckos just roaming around.,,, so much that sometimes they get steped on!.. ECK! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing!!
Yes...I would definitely yell Eeeeeeeek! Love the detail. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fine job...yes, the detail is certainly quite amazing. My wrist hurst just looking at it. You captured the rough and scaly look of his skin...excellent job!
ReplyDeleteLove gEckos! I even changed my business logo to a gecko after a trip to Nicaragua where they were on every wall and over every bed. No "eeks" from me... the spiders, on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteYour sacrifice for art's sake is appreciated! :-) Wonderful detail work.
Your hard work has obviously paid off here Ellen. Hope your hand is doing well.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful. Carpel tunnel is not! Did you find a gecko in your bed? But you are here by vindicated!
ReplyDeleteE is for Excellent! love the detail. I have always been a big fan of good pencil drawings, especially when there is such great detail as this one!
ReplyDeletehey Ellen, the gecko is great, Escher (yeah the E!!!) would have been proud.

ReplyDeleteOooh...another great pen drawing! Several hours well spent!
ReplyDeleteStunning! E can be for Gecko if you say it is!
ReplyDeleteE is for Ellen! This is a wonderful natural study - I love looking at drawings like this! Did you draw this from a real gecko? Beautiful built up linear textures... excellent!
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I wouldn't yell, just pick it up.
