Neptune-Illustrationfriday
This was a piece I did a while ago. As was the one below. I am currently working on a new piece that I fear won't be done in time.
Funny, I was so excited when I saw the word because I love all things "Sea" related (not to mention I am 15 minutes from the shore)! Yet it stumped me for a while this week end. Plus I am working on this Wabi-Sabi writing class and it takes up quite a bit of my time- but I am loving it! I forgot that I could write as well as draw!
My wabi sabi flowed until it blocked and then I had to move to collage - so I'd be ready to write again today.
ReplyDeleteI love this image, by the way, very powerful.
this is a great idea and so well done! Neotune in all his glory!! excellent job!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very funky Neptune. Like the 60's poster style eyes. Great little details and nice line.
ReplyDeleteI love the linework here...the hatching and shading are marvelous, and Neptune looks like his strong, lusty self! Beautiful work, Ellen:>
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty illustration!
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous!!! Love your use of shells!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of mythology if not the sea; I really like the little details in your pieces.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and I think everyone loved mythology, I know I did!
ReplyDeleteI think we might be in the same wabi sabi class, though, I have covered my head and eyes after so may emails, I've been afraid to surface. I will now. :O)
ReplyDeleteThis is really wonderful. The detail is stunning. I really love it!!!
I love both of these Ellen, the seahorses would be a great tattoo ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the black'd white of your illo and the details.
ReplyDeletenice work, Ellen

Love the line work and the corkscrew shells!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great drawings both of them, though Neptune is my favorite, very nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat drawings! Especially Neptune.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. I lived in Hilton Head SC for two years. We had a shoebox sized apartment across the street from the beach. God, that was nice...
