SciFi and Fantasy Art love griffin by Melody Pena

I just love pencil sketches.Do you agree that there is a warmth and freshness to a pencil sketch that just cannot be duplicated in ink?Why do we bother inking?This is a small drawing, it's one of ZILLIONS of drawings like this I've got in my files.It was cleaned up in Photoshop to remove the coffee and stuff that was on the background paper.I'm gonna try inking a version of this with the goal of keeping it as 'warm' feeling as the drawing.Rots of ruck.

7 Mar 2008	Stacey ’Nari Jauhara’ Ooms	Loading... Such a beautiful, warm and touching piece! The expression on the griffin’s face is so sweet (how DO birds smile??). But, you’re right, there is nothing that matches the warmth of a nice pencil sketch. Perhaps inking isn’t the answer for this one...maybe nice, warm pastels to keep that glow. Just a suggestion.
19 Mar 2008	Kiana A. Rootes	Loading... The only time I’ve ever gotten an inked sketch to look all warm and fuzzy is when I ink the lines in with calligraphy pen which can be bothersome due to ink stains. Maybe that will help some? Luck with the graphic novel!
20 Mar 2008	Jillian Christina Jones	Loading... Yes i agree hes so cute! (isnt that what we all need when were sad? a big cuddly griffon to give us hugs?)
9 Aug 2008	Anon.	Loading... LOVE IT. The gryphon looks like he or she could be fierce when they need to but now just wants to comfort this kid....lovely.
29 Jun 2009	Grace E Harrison	Loading... That is gorgeous, I love the interaction between them. Yay for sketches!
4 Sep 2009	Yoni Danziger	Loading... To me it doesn’t matter one bit! Whichever technique you choose to use can still make wonders as long as you’re able to pass your emotions to the viewer. This piece is indeed one of your most emotional pieces on EW. The warmth of this scene is absolute, and even though colors could have contribute to the understanding of your state of mind while sketching this, the flow of the lines and the griffin’s expression can fill that gap in no time. Well done, on a fantastic job Melody
10 Jan 2011	Adam Wasiak	Loading... Heh, sweet... I love pencil sketches too
11 Jan 2011	Jessica Sketchpad Dragon Coles	Loading... This reminds me of a book called Beyond the Divide, cant remember who by...but it was very good. About a boy who wakes up in a sort of parrallel world. And theres an Uber cool gryffin there...and well, i recomend it, if you like childish fantasy
12 Jan 2011	Heather lynn canzonetta	Loading... i like how you have changed the mysterious griffin into a hugger that’s nice.
27 Feb 2011	Marika Viklund	Loading... Sweet! I agree that sometimes the finished product lacks the life and feeling that the initial sketch had. Not always though. This is really cute and pretty! ^^
