CP Sketches...
 

Freshly "baked from the oven"... My first attempt at drawing after a very very long sabbatical. Appreciate comments so I can improve my next drawing.

Wow David, this is beautiful! How are you not a professional artist drawing great work like this?

Re: N. jacquelineae... a drawing just to share
 

Gorgeous! I love it! :D

Re: N. jacquelineae... a drawing just to share
 

Simply epic :smile: I love your drawing! Here's my sketch that I did in school within 15 minutes, I'm not much of an artist :shy:

N veitchii

They aren't accurate especially the veitchii, but it's kinda cool to draw up some super beautiful nep in your imagination! :laugh:

Glade you like it Kevyn. Thanks

Jonathan... It is indeed a long time since we met. How are you bro? Hope you are good and well. I am ok. Just like you I do not have CPs with me in KL.

Marigoldsfail21... That is because I studied the wrong thing. I do have an an interest in art and graphics design. I'll just do it as a hobby.

Thanks for your kind words Paphioboy.

Edward, that is impressive to draw that two pitchers within 15 minutes. I am sure you would be able to draw up a master piece if you take your time.

Re: N. jacquelineae... a drawing just to share
 

Edward, that is cool. I am reminded of how I used to draw orchids in school when the teacher is not looking.. :p

Re: N. jacquelineae... a drawing just to share
 

Lol, it's 15 minutes per picture. And NOWHERE near your masterpiece, David :smile:

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Ok, one more out of the "oven"... I think this is better than my first attempt on N. jacquelineae. At least this N. rafflesiana looks 3D... haa haaa... Be kind with your comments ya... heh, heh... :p

I am still learning and trying to improve.

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Wow David, that's a great job. I like both. Very impressive! Keep this up! Can't wait to open your oven now!

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Here goes my harsh criticism: Why is it not in colour??!! *biggrin2* I'll bet it will be more amazing. Good job!:1thumbup:

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Great drawing :)

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Wow! Beautiful pictures, please keep them coming...

Re: CP Sketches...
 

TS... "oven" only has these two Neps... but you can open it to see other things like animals and bugs that i have drawn.

Jimmy... you are so harsh I am crying... haa haaa... thanks for the compliments. I may try with color pencils in the near future but will not do it with water color. I am really bad with water color. You may not recognise the pictuere when i am done with it... haa haa haaa...

Thanks Ken and Ellison... I am trying to draw a series of maybe 3-5 lowland species and 3-5 highland species depending on how hardworking I am. If I get lazy then 3 of each... haa haa aaa... I am currently working on N. bicalcarata... yaa... I know a few other artist have drawn that species and my rookie sketch may fall way back in quality by comparison (Gosh! Talk about the stress!!! Haaa, haaa) but it is one of my favourite species. So i just had to do it. It's for me! :)

Re: CP Sketches...
 

No comment, just speechless with awe.......

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Spectacular raff drawing! Heck, I'll hang that on my wall... :D

Re: CP Sketches...
 

Wow. The perspective and smoothness... is astounding; I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the magnificence of this piece. :spinning:

David, how long did you spend on this? This is honestly the best CP art I have ever seen.

Re: CP Sketches...
 

I think it took me about 3 hours in total, but i did not finish it in 3 hours straight. Whenever i am free I do a little over a period of a couple days if i remember correctly.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Re: CP Sketches...
 

David, please draw a villosa, macrophylla or edwardsiana next! I'm sure the toothed peristome would be a good challenge for you and the resulting sketch would be stunning! :smile:
