"The becoming" by Bram Gerritsen

Inking is either frustrating or relaxing. I'm guessing you have a rather patient personality. Nice work.

Bram Gerritsen replies: "When a drawing is going well I can get anxious and run a couple of laps, a weird kind of adrenalin. But yeah I take my time "

Excellent detail and lovin' the whole woman tied by ribbon thing you got going on. Absolutely fab!

Bram Gerritsen replies: "thanks "

Oh i just saw some dragons with wings...
And sum sort of elephant type creature tiny in blk at the bottom. I love it!

Bram Gerritsen replies: "(Looks at his own picture) hehe that's cool "

I like how confusingly dertailed it is. Cos i have to look at it. Go away. Then look again and i see summat new. Like the castle at the top n bk, i never even saw tht till like the 3rd time i saw it.

Bram Gerritsen replies: "You know I really don't do this on purpose, making this much detail in pictures. I do whatever I think looks cool, but I do like that it makes people think and sometimes confused "

Could you please deledete this and my above comment after reading them.(If you read them that is)

Seriously Ark

Bram Gerritsen replies: "Why would I delete them, comments are free and you said nothing wrong. It inspires me."

I believe it's excellent, I don't never realy had a difinitive style in my artwork, it changed seamingly from day to day and month to month, I once drew things like this but I haven't been able to in a long time.
I like this style because it embraces the truth of nature in it, that nothing is controlled. What I'm trying to say is that with no scale reference the grass and flowers, which would otherwise be very small and unnoticed, appear to be overgrown and uncontrolled, which is only cemented by the lightning in the backgroung giving it a feal of true chaos. I like it.
Also, about your desire to work with other mediums, you should try oil pastels, they are usually cheap, and also they work great(But only if you blend them, otherwise they look like crayon).

Seriously Ark

Aha, someone like me - lets their hand to draw without thinking. Only my pics never look that good.
Congrats on the star.
Wonderful - so much to explore in this picture... I love it.

Bram Gerritsen replies: "Thanks "

Woooooooooooow!!!!!! This picture is so beautiful!!!!!!! So much details, it takes along time until you see all you have drawed!! I like the white/black!!!! (even in het nederlands, want mijn engels is nou niet zo goed , wordt je er niet helemaal gek van om dit te tekenen??? Ik zou er echt het gedult niet voor hebben. Hoe lang doe je er over om zo'n tekening te maken??) Really, really beautiful!!! I wish I could make pictures like this!! Love it!!!!!!

Bram Gerritsen replies: "Hehe, Thank you for your enthusiasms Tessa, these pictures take time of an average 25 hours I think. A lot has to do with just working for hours listening music and get lost in your work. But also hours of just walking around, looking at it, doing something else, looking at it again and stuff. So the hours I work on it are spread over a week. Just little sessions of inking, or pencilling my pictures. Sometimes I must force myself to finish it, cause else I'd get bored and it wouldn't get finished (Dutch translation -> Bedankt voor je enthousiasme Tessa Dit soort tekeningen kosten me gemiddeld zon 25 uur. Ik heb een soort kleine sessies van het inken of tekenen. Als ik een schets maak of idee heb dat me erg bevalt, ga ik het eerst zo gedetailleerd mogelijk uittekenen en dan begint het leukste gedeelte, namelijk alle perspectief en contrast erin brengen door middel van potlood of inkt Soms zit ik een beetje vast of heb ik geen zin en ga ik gewoon wat anders doen, maar blijf ik wel constant naar de tekening kijken en eraan denken. En met muziek weet ik altijd de inspiratie te vinden om iets gecompliceerd af te maken. "

Wreed wijs,
komaan, dees is één van de meest gedetailleerde en geslaagde tekeningen da kik ier al heb gezien!!!
Echt, ik zou nie weten waarnaar da'k eerst moet kijken.
Hoe hebt gij zo goe leren tekenen???

Damn… and I thought I was insane… you’re bloody brilliant man! Such a magnificent piece I haven’t seen in a while, so many details… wherever I look, something is going on…..
Bloody hell…
