Description
25 Silver Jubilee Celebration Gift
I made that on an A3 art paper with Staedtler pigment liner + Uni-ball Silver and Gold Gel Pen.
and outside circles were done with uni-ball angelic colors, so they do not go over power the Metalic 25.
It took me close to 4 hours to get the details right.

Hello, fellow ProjectComment member! ^^
I just wanted to say that I thought this was a lovely bit of inkwork. Firstly, let me say that the blue and gold combination is classic. I love the way those colors work together to complement one another, so that was an excellent choice. I believe that if you had opted for silver ink on the 25, it would have been too close in color to your art paper, and that would have made the 25 too hard to see. You've done a good job giving the numbers a three dimensional appearance, both with the curvature of your lines and the shading itself. I also agree with your decision to use other colors besides gold for the circles and hearts in the background. They definitely did not overpower the 25 and yet, they added a very nice, festive feel to the piece overall. My only suggestion for improvement is this: in my opinion, the 2 and the 5 ought to have been lined or shaded in a similar fashion. I feel that they look a little too different in this piece, and that detracts a little bit from the over-all feeling of "high class" that this piece has. Despite that, you've done a good job in choosing your colors, layout and overall design. Well done.

Whoa, this looks sick, in the good way of course xD
I love the little details of striped orbs and hearts floating around, they add a fine backlayer without taking attention away from the number 25 which is supposed to stand out e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
That being said, I can see you have drawn the whole thing by hand, and of course this makes it pretty impressive and it gets a personal feeling, but it also makes room for minor mistakes:
For example the green orb in the third picture (top left) I can see one of the lines poking out, and the orange orb in the same picture looks funky, like the lines aim for the same end point rather than following eachother.
The 5 in 25 looks a bit messy aswell, not because it got a lot of lines, but the space between the lines varies, some are really close while others are far apart. Now you could argue it's meant to be like that and I would say fair enough, but I think it looks like they were supposed to be more "linear" e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The 2 deals with this aswell, but it looks less messy since it's fewer lines.
I have nothing else to point out other than I really like the way you made the 5 bigger even though the 2 is in front, this gives the picture even more depth, and who doesn't love a bit of depth xD
All in all pretty amazing drawing, and I must say I am impressed you did this by hand, I will give this picture a well deserved 9.6/10
Keep up the great work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

hi!!
I start saying that I love this kind of art, and i see from your gallery that you are very good with it! The lines are precise, smooth, there is no mistake or imperfection, and, most important, the background paper is completely neat, no smear nor fingerprints! The perfect geometry gives to your work a good simmetry, strips and balloonss are balanced. I really see no mistakes I could point out except maybe the fact that the number 2 seems to be a little obfuscated by the rich decoration of number 5. The contrast between deep blue and gold is always one of my favourites, maybe, have you ever thought to give just a little darker shade near the golden lines? It would make it pop even more! Or if it is a gift card (is it?) you colud add some material decoration like glitters or metal pearls. But even so this is really a very good job!
