You`ve right Andrew, there is a sketch of a Bonelli`s eagle ,and since it isn`t a "real" fieldsketch but based on a video footage of mine, I didn`t want to upload it..
In this case I`ll make an exception...

Very nice. Energetic line.

 

[solitaryVSong]

Perfect! :t:

Both very nice. It's amazing how bright the white areas are, I assume by just leaving the paper as it and not touching it. It's always shocking how effective that can be.

Mr Bic strikes again with a fine Eagle. Im glad you threw it in here even though it wasn't a field sketch. Copied from Videos or in the field they always impress me> I cant wait for more talented work from you in 2013 B

The eagle is strikingly good, and the guinea pigs are up to your usual high quality of work as well. I would worry about an eagle being in such close proximity to the guinea pigs - that could result in an unhappy daughter.

Just wanted to express my gratitude to all of you for your kind comments, uploading my latest fieldsketches-Munich zoo today morning.I spend there four hours and I managed to finish three Bic pen studies ( Rhino iguana, Borneo bearded pig, Young male lion)...new record! Attached also the failed attempts ...

Majestic lion. You should work further on that one.

 

[JTMB]

I continue to marvel at the natural feel you get on these sketches. Just amazing what you can do from life...I would struggle mightily to get something this good from a reference photo that wasn't moving.

nice surprise this evening- got in late to find a still-plastic-wrapped copy of Birding World thrown into the Ed pile- with a beautiful Chukar on the cover which obviously even at a glance was yours

just wondering if the bic pen pieces will fade over time...sure hope not these deserve to be around forever.

:t: the iguana is great

Back from the zoo, no Bic pen sketches this time but I`ve been rewarded with a coloured study of the male Indian Rhino called "Nico".
There is always a risk , starting a detailed study from life because nobody knows if the animal will stay there for a while..but without a risk there is no reward!

Excellent work, Paschalis! Your subjects possess a "personality" that is missing in my artwork. I envy your talent. Keep it up!

 

[birdboybowley]

Fantastic stuff Pasch!

 

[cjoakley]

Wow - Paschalis - your work is stunningly magnificent!

 

[colleenc]

that rhino popped up on my fb newsfeed for a tantalizing few seconds then went away somewhere...so glad you posted it here a riveting work, and that sawed off horn says so much. I love the use you made of the toned paper and texture. an incredible work from life

 

[Woody]

No risk, no reward is right! I guess that's part of what keeps it so exciting, especially with results like this.

I look forward to your posts, the Rhino is my favorite. What a great drawing!
