Lookit This!

[Roland number 19]

So, I'm trying this out. If this flops.. I'm done. Hahaha.

I draw a lot. It gets me through the day. I wanted to know what people think.

[Daghain]

Those are great! :thumbsup:

[Roland number 19]

Thank you very much! :D

[alinda]

I think they are terrific!:D

[pixiedark76]

I loved them. :clap: (Although the first one scared me and will give me nightmares!:scared:) When you drew these you were on :onfire: Keep it up!

[mia/susannah]

Those are really good!!!!

[fernandito]

You seem to be getting better and better at this , Nick. Keep em' coming :thumbsup:

[Heather19]

I remember seeing some of your drawings before. You're really talented. Is all just done in pen?

[Brice]

Fucking brilliant, Nick! :D

[Letti]

Wow, you have a really special style and you certainly are talented.
Keep posting.
How do you draw? With a pencil or some kind of pen? I am sorry if it's a silly question but I am always interested in such things.

[AlishaRiley]

These are really fucking great!!
You have a lot of talent, Sir.
That first one will be stuck in my head for a while.
Really, really good, man. Keep 'em coming! :rose:

[Roland number 19]

Hey everyone, thank you for the kind words. :]

To answer the question, I only use a pen. Its like a gel ink, sorta. Its difficult to describe. I hate using pencils because I find that I backtrack a lot and find a lot of "mistakes." With a pen I have to buck up and keep going. Its a good way of getting things right the first time.

I'll be putting up more soon, I just need to find the time to pull 'em all up from a website and copy URL addresses for here. However, if we're friends on Facebook or MySpace, I have put them all on there for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Again, thanks for all the kind words. I love you guys. :huglove:

[Jon]

Awesome detail!!!

[Roland number 19]

Alright I want to preface this next post by saying that I'll be adding 51 pictures in the next post. It will VERY much so elongate the length of this webpage.

Note to Moderators, I'd like to say that I am aware that this may be a violation of a rule, and I will most certainly comply with a change in the original post. I offer my complete cooperation with any changes neccisary. :]

[Roland number 19]

These are all of the pictures that I have drawn in the past couple of years THAT HAVE BEEN SCANNED ON MY COMPUTER. I have more, but I have yet to load them. I am, indeed, a lazy sack of shit.

Please, I am fine with criticism and will more than gladly answer any questions. I drew all of these in pen and none of them are plagarized that are not credited below the picture. Again, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! Thank you!

This sparked a huge controversial argument between some people I know between how important the symbol of the fish is to the Christian faith and my interpretation of how its a fucking load. I'd like to point out that that is opinion, NOT fact.

those are all amazing. good work. :thumbsup:

something you could consider doing so that it doesn't elongate the page so much is wrapping a spoiler tag around the images.

that's a really good idea. I think I'll do that once I get home (I'm on my phone now) :)

[mia/susannah]

These are great!!! You are very talented!!! Thanks for sharing

[tamez]

wow i'm really impressed you've done it all in pen.
excellent work. if i tried that there would be a hundred
mess-ups and liquid paper lakes on the paper
i really love your subject matter too.
i tried to pick a favorite but I can't
they're all amazing!
thanks for sharing

[idk, my bff jill?]

Those are all amazing!
And so detailed!

I could look at them for hours.

Thanks for posting, man. :thumbsup:

[Heather19]

Excellent work! I love that first octopus one :thumbsup: And what really impresses me is that it's all done in pen. That doesn't give you a huge margin of error. I don't think I could do it. I'm constantly erasing and redrawing.
How do you come up with your ideas? And is it all drawn just from your mind? Also what did you use for the colored ones, is it colored pencil? I couldn't quite tell.

[AlishaRiley]

These are awesome, man!
Especially taking into consideration the fact that you're using pen.
The detail you've managed to get into each drawing is fantastic.

Everyone thinks they'd mess up, but with a pen, you don't think of anything as a mistake. Its just something in the picture that you need to adapt to.

As for ideas, its really aything. I'll just have an idea and draw it up, or I'll see something that makes me think about something else and leads to a drawing idea. Or its just a key word that I've heard or read that 'll make me draw something up. There's no real thought to it.

Oh, and as for the color... The one with the heart, the man with the tie, the witch burning and the 300 picture are sharpie. And the sky behind the mountains are done with water color pencils (essentially just pencils that make watercolor when you add water). The one with all the color that I did for my mom is in chalk or soft pastel.
