[Jmadson13]

Thanks guys,

Becca- I think it's great that you manage to fit so many tarantula projects into your class
Palau- nice freehand, especially for being computor
varden- that's a great comic, I know I chuckled.

Working on a surreal T series, still trying to find a suitable T for each subject matter.

I know this thread called for arachnid related art, and this isnt a arachnid, but where else Im I going to post a roach drawing

 

[Jmadson13]

anything with more than four legs is a welcome art subject here Philth. Very nice work.

Don’t sell yourself short that is very creative!

Unfortunately none of my talents lie in drawing. This is as close as it gets.

even though i continue to pale in comparison, here's my latest doodle of what was intended to be a p. cancerides but looks like a generic T that doesn't have any uniquely striking characteristics. arachnid legs are not my forte.

excuse the darkness, it was drawn on a folder during school. meh.

You look like you'd be pretty decent with technical drawings Molitor, You may want to try Bic Pen or some sort of ink nib for these highly detailed guys. Nice work.

you use Bic Pens?? does Bic even make archival pens?? you know what happens to non archival ink after about 10 years right? they dissapear, sharpies turn yellow and look like dull yellow highlighter.

I use pens made by Zig my favorite is the Millennium set. they make the best pens, they are "pigment ink, acid-free, archival quality, lightfast, waterproof, fadeproof and non-bleeding." ranging in tip sizes from 005 (.2mm), 01 (.25mm), 03 (.35mm), 05 (.45mm), 08 (.65mm) I couldn't live without them. you can check them out at discountart.com but I find that Walmart has them for alot cheaper. only 1.20 or so for a pair (one 05 and one 01) in the arts and crafts section. and since you have such nice work yourself I think you should try these. I think your work deserves to stay around for at least 100 years or more, rather than just 10 years or so. and they dont die easily either. I have some almost a year old most of the time I loose them before they die.

yep, I do understand the premise of archival products. But as a doodling medium bic pens work for me.

i used bic pens for the outlines of these and the black in the dimensions on the colored piece. i think sakura is my favorite company as far as pens and makers go...

oh well.. ok... lol that works I guess.


That was supposed to sound like a compliment about your art... but, now that I re-read my comment, it doesn't quite sound the way I intended it.

NP at all I don't take offense. Actually I really like pigma brand ink, I also use Staford and rapidograph. My favorite brush tips have got to be a product from Tomba. they blend very nicely.

my attempt at a pokie (ID it yourself).

Awesome artwork.

 

[morda]

Hi! I'm new in this thread.. I've never painted spiders so this is my first...

Chilobrachys fimbriatus - how do You like it? Please comment

 

[Jmadson13]

Nice drawing morda, I think if you lengthened the legs from the patella down on the next drawings you'll get more of a foreshortened look. Definitely loos like an C. fimbriatus to me though.

cyriopagopus sp. can you spot what i did out of laziness?
