Voyager. Scenes of Nature Art Contest
In this artwork I wanted to show how human curiosity for exploration brining all of us closer to understanding many nature phenomenon’s . In modern world we make our research on computers with a keyboard being our sextant in this journey. I also incorporate Einstein’s formula of relativity , formula of time travel and speed of light measurements in this drawing.
In the process of drawing this composition I used pencil, Sharpies fine point marker and Fabriano drawing paper. I also decided to use technique of pointillism to make a better illusion of depth of the wormhole .
This drawing is my entry for Scenes of Nature Art Contest contest https://steemit.com/art/@sethlinson/20-sbd-in-prizes-scenes-of-nature-art-contest#@sethlinson/re-marinaart-re-sethlinson-20-sbd-in-prizes-scenes-of-nature-art-contest-20180204t225911497z .Thank you to @sethlinson for hosting this contest!
Here is a step by step photos of the process
I started with an idea sketch
here I transfer my design to the drawing paper
Next I outline most elements of my design with fine-point Sharpie.
It is very important to start working from darker areas of your composition. That way it will be easy to balance the values of white and black.
Thank you for looking!
Very well thought out work and done, like that shell shape of drawing @marinaart.
Thank you. I used Fabriano heavy weight drawing paper that you recommended and very happy with the feeling it gives when pencil taches it. Big difference from Canson paper.
This really makes me happy that you like Fabriano paper :) They have good quality papers also for watercolor and for drawing. For now my favorite paper brand.And I agree big difference from Canson. Glad I was of help with my information in posts @marinaart :)
I order all my paper online and it is hard to judge the quality of it that way. It is always nice to have help with paper brands from the fellow artist.:)
@marinaart, know what you are talking about. But for now my favorite brand, and I tried HahneMuhler and Canson still is Fabriano in all his editions and thickness.
I love seeing the evolution of the drawing!
Thank you for stopping by!
I featured your piece in the final showcase of contest entries. Thanks again for your submission! I'll be announcing the winners later today :)
Beautiful work! I like what you did with the theme, as I was a navigator in the navy when I was young :-)

Wow, your artistic skills are so versatile! Fantastic art, @marinaart!
Thanks! It is good and bad at the same time because it is always brings decisions decisions :)
Haha I see :) I adore your charcoal pieces, they're very recognizable, I immediately can tell it's marinaart!
I probably will stick with this charcoal technique with most of my drawing for this year. I love ink pen too. It is hard to compete with quality digital painting vs.watercolors or oils.How is your Wacom tablet experience going? I will start to learn digital painting soon. I think i will get simple 10 inches Wacom tablet in April. Good think that I already have few years old Adobe Photoshop :))))
Yeah, I know what you mean. I should go digital too haha. And hopefully I will soon. It will be good to have a fellow apprentice :P Amazing how skilled you are. My experience with Wacom is great, I like it a lot, but I don't have any comparison as this was my first and only tablet. I bought it last year, and since that time this particular one got much cheaper, and also newer versions came out, or models with much more advanced options. I'm very curious what you will come up with!
Advantage of digital painting is mostly in coloring in my opinion. So if you have good drawing you can make in spectacular looking art and I am sure about it. Imitation of brushstores of oil or watercolors is important and it cuts time you spent on painting 10-20 times. Looking forward for more of your wacom art.
It's a great one for the scene of nature contest. Very interesting art here.
Thank you.I am glad that you like it!
