This is obviously some new definition of the word pencil... as I've never had a pecil do something like that before.
Very nice. Funny, I randomly was leafing through a book I have on medieval art work and carvings. Really reminiscent of that type of stuff. Very nice piece.
B7 A-maze-ing what can be created with a "low-tech" pencil and the most "hi-tech" creation of all --- the imagination of the mind.
Thanks for sharing, this is most enjoyable journeying within, Erik!

But don't forget that the drawing is the right half of what you see, and the left side is Photoshop-mirrored.
The pencil is a techical pencill (.3mm, no sharpening needed), mostly an "HB", and a bit of "4H" for general tinting on satin grain watercolour paper. As for the time...some 150-200 hours, I can't say exactly...when you do what you love doing, time is unimportant, even non-existing...
Like I always say (one of Saturn's big lessons): "If you don't work against time, time often works for you.
As for Medieval atmosphere: yes, end of Gothic, beginning of Renaissance is what I like most. I've even tried with a silverpoint like used in those days, but I prefer the graphite pencil of today.
One of my dreams is do something like this in Photoshop. But then I take a sheet of paper to make a quick sketch, and...there we go again... Yet it must be possible in Photoshop.
nice Erik oh and photoshop sections looks good too
so now we have to have the pencil and the paper! ahhhhh that is what I have been doing wrong! the paper! fogot to use the paper [bustagut] [bustagut] [bustagut]
