Description

(Prints and Art Gifts available)
Colt Anaconda .44mag with an 8" factory ported barrel and HoloSite.

Drawing is about 12" wide
Royal Graphite Pencil: 2H & 5B
Kneaded Eraser, Compass, Stumps, Ruler
Time: 8 hours
Scanned drawing and adjusted brightness & contrast to match the actual drawing as best as I could. The actual drawing looks even better than this pic.

This was my most ambitious and time consuming project yet. I'm mostly happy with it. Areas I wish were better of course, but all in all, not too shabby :)

**EDIT 01/05/2013: I have received some feedback that the white space makes the work appear unfinished. I deliberately left the white space. I liked the contrast between the outside white space, the black border around the gun, and the shadings on the gun. IMO, it helps bring out the contrasts of light and dark within the drawing. I appreciated the feedback, but I'll leave it as is :) **

Still new at this drawing thing, so any and all comments/suggestions on how to improve or what I could have done differently, or what I missed, or anything at all, are welcome.

Here are the WIPs in order:


My reference photo was taken by myself and the gun is also mine:

"Can't withhold my anger
Welcome to my rage, my bloodlust will be sated
I'm locked and loaded and ready to engage
Killing everything I've always hated
A motherfucking Van Gogh with a gun,
about to paint his masterpiece
Blow the world into oblivion
Play with the blood of the deceased!"
