Description A request from ~orkakid of her picture of the whale Corky. I do have plans for a simple background, but haven't started on it yet. Original will be up for sale upon completion and ~orkakid gets first dibs, if she's interested. Anyway, done in charcoals, with very light pastel color add-ons. It didn't turn out as smooth as I had hoped, but I am very happy with it regardless. Hope you like it, ~orkakid !

Amazing texture. The skin actually looks rubbery, just like it should!! I love the contrast as well. Great job!!

Thank you! Your work is awesome. I'm really glad you like that piece! Maybe I'll still offer prints with just a white background . . .

In some instances you'll discover it carries more of an impact than an actual background. Depends on what you want to convey. In this case the focus is totally on the well drawn orca, and allows you to put as much detail into it without detracting from it without background clutter.
And thank you.

That's really insightful. I've never thought of it like that. I've always thought it was just a sign of laziness! (At least, on my part; I know why I don't do backgrounds sometimes!) I'll have to keep that in might. Thanks!

Welcome. Another suggestion: in lieu of backgrounds with some of your drawings, you might want to consider a frame drawn around the subject, simple or otherwise...... ..... ...just a thought.

I've got one drawing that would be just perfect on . . . I like that thought.

I'm glad you like it! It was an awesome picture. I was just too lazy to do all the water down the sides . . .

its fine how it is. you are great artist. i have problems shading it in and doing the water so i'm not compaining.

Aryenne In reply to orkakid [2006-09-18 22:42:39 +0000 UTC]

I want to do a simplistic background that kind of gives the impression of the whale somewhere else than just in water, like some mountains and clouds. Anyways, I'm really glad you like it!

I was considering that, but figured it was too clichΓ©, and too much work. Maybe another piece, though.
