I haven't been very active here. It amazes me how many people are still looking. Anyway.<br /><br />How long? No idea. This is pretty old and I really don't pay much attention to how long drawings take. They're mostly done for my own amusement, and to keep me from falling asleep in front of the TV at night.<br /><br />I used a rapidograph too. A .18 Rotring to be exact. Those things are hard to find these days for some reason. Personally I loved them. Apparently nobody else does anymore. <br /><br />And yes, I've done both the Meloncolia and St Jerome. They didn't come out bad, just not as good as the Knight. It's assumed that Durer did the Knight and St Jerome as a pair, so it just seemed natural to do it too. The Meloncolia is just a cool image. I'm thinking of doing a painting based on the idea. Already have the central figure, now I just need to put it all together. Could happen.<br /><br />Thanks again. Just a little heads up if you want to buy something. Prices will be going up the first of the year.Dave Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878045871541296376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246591235411179498.post-18483535958150398282012-09-10T15:46:51.226-07:002012-09-10T15:46:51.226-07:00Hi Dave, I'm amazed by your Knight, Death and ...Hi Dave, I'm amazed by your Knight, Death and the Devil drawing. I just finished drawing this a few days ago, and was trying to find my next project when I saw yours on the web. How long did it take you? It took me 4 months working part time. Here is a facebook link to a picture I took of it: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3515504577956&set=a.1496223137182.2063779.1582200294&type=1&theater&notif_t=like <br /><br />Yours is definitely better! What kind of pens did you use? I used rapdiographs. Have you tried to draw Meloncolia I or St. Jerome in His Study?<br /><br />Anyway, I love your work and would love to purchase some as soon as financially possible.<br /><br /><br />James PorterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
