~Overly specific list of Supplies~ -Reference: picture of a Crow's foot I took -Strathmore Dry Media 11.5"x14" (29.2x35.6cm) 100lbb (163 g/m squared) paper -Design Drawing 3800 pencils 4b-4h (I actually used one entire 4b and 2b pencils!) -Steadtler Mars Plastic erasers ( I had to cut one with pruning shears a lot to keep it sharp), and a Kneaded eraser. -Roughly 30 hours of time, maybe more And that's it! No blending stumps or noth'n else
It looks so, so cool. I really like the intense detail and shading. We really get a sense of depth and the feel of its skin as well. It's angle and position is quite interesting too.
Thank you! I'm glad as well to see your not disappointed, it would have been an awful shame to me if you were. It was difficult to have everything look natural without a background to balance things out. So I had to do a lot to make sure the entire foot could carry the weight of the entire piece, and hopefully not seem boring.
The biggest thing I had to worry about was giving that sense of depth. Each toe had to fade as it got farther away, but I had never done that before so it was difficult at first. But I figured it out as you can see.
There's a bit of a story too for the way the foot is positioned. Apart from the photo looking that way, I wanted to change it slightly and have it almost look like it was reaching for something (it looked kinda limp in the photo).
And thank you for your comment. It means a great deal.
Thank you! I specialize in detail, plus I like to do my best in every work. So this is going to be my next standard for all my work hereafter (although I don't expect to get as detailed in future projects, it's exhausting doing this art, but also very rewarding).
I look forward to hearing what you have to say.^^ And I greatly appreciate it, more so since you are a busy person. So where you off to this time?
Oh, I doubt I could have been disappointed in your drawing And you really did a great job on this! And how's your hand? did it hurt much? You're very welcome^^

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Project Comment is a project that features the generally obscured and underappreciated artists and their art in regular news articles. Our objective is to recognise deviants who deserve more recognition and to feature deviations with less than 10 original comments.
The 0-5 Comments Issues feature a deviant as well as 3 deviations with less than 5 original comments from a wide selection of art. Please give your time to this article and to write constructive comments so that you make a true difference to the artists featured here.
