Your marine mammal drawings are top notch. I can see the result of years of hard work and study come through in your drawing and painting. Your anatomy feels spot on and I'll definitely be using your drawings as reference. Thanks! <br /><br />I'm digging the Klauba stuff too. The bird theme is very personal and interesting. I'll have to look more closely after work. His stuff seems very meditative and inspired in it's process.<br /><br />As to your question, this is for fun, not work. I'm reading Moby Dick right now and it's been inspirational to say the least. Even if I don't understand every single reference, Melville clearly loves language and paints rich evocative worlds and states of mind with words. I believe he is a painter at heart and his medium is language. <br /><br />As for the other Klauba stuff yes please feel free to send them my way. I'd love to check them out. Thanks again dolphinguy! -RayRay Ledererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144202700639417274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104714352947173225.post-39699177528933505782010-05-12T21:42:03.186-07:002010-05-12T21:42:03.186-07:00I was just looking at Klauba's revised web sit...I was just looking at Klauba's revised web site, and a lot of his Moby Dick paintings are left off the new one. There are only a couple left that have the dramatic waves and clouds that I wanted you to see. However, I saved all of those a few months back, and I can send them to you if you're interested in seeing them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854838536593466219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104714352947173225.post-72109733506283416762010-05-12T21:30:08.195-07:002010-05-12T21:30:08.195-07:00Hey Ray,
Love these sketches. Are you doing this ...Hey Ray,<br /><br />Love these sketches. Are you doing this for the heck of it, or is it related to a work assignment? If you would like some help with the sperm whales/Moby Dick, just give me a shout, as I'm an artist who has studied their anatomy for over 40 years, and have done some Moby drawings of my own, and I'm also working up some ideas for a painting. You can see my work at http://sitekreator.com/leviathan/index.html . Also, go check out the work of George Klauba at http://georgeklauba.com/. He has done a huge series of Moby Dick paintings that will knock your socks off, and several of them use the same framing with the dramatic waves and clouds like in your sketches.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854838536593466219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104714352947173225.post-19754327167388183102010-05-08T08:03:46.435-07:002010-05-08T08:03:46.435-07:00I already love these thumbnails!
