Great sketch Valery. nice to see it.

So Valery,

You draw with your signature. Must make it a "signature piece". Idiom in my language meaning "worth having", "limited edition", "unique", "one of a kind".

Of which it is, all of the above, but I have never seen anything except good work which you have posted.

How do you fit your head through the door, must be an architect too, oh well, why not.

Thank you guys.
This is a picture I've done about 2 years ago. It is also jel pen.

Very Nice... I like that. I have found that if you have the right pen in hand, the art just flows... some pens, are only good for writing, when you have a good pen... you draw until it is dry...

Wonderful drawing and another great example of your artistry.
I have been in Moscow twice and know that there is a treasury for a drawer, I wish I could draw myself, but the camera has been my tourist tool when I have been there.

B - a - utiful!!!! I have always loved working with pen & ink.... I would also then go over some of my pieces with light water-color.... The effect is extremely soothing.

Yes, absolutely. About 20 years ago, when I was a student, I decided to teach myself to draw without an eraser. This way I chose a pen.

Tourists usually have no time and so camera helps them to download more views. This picture takes about 2 or little more hours and then a rain started. So I have to add some strokes (and signature

) at home.

I haven't had a good drawing pen in years... They are mostly just writing pens... there is no feeling when you draw a line. You know you have a great drawing pen within 3 minutes of drawing with it.

A pen doesn't need to be expensive to be a good drawing pen. I have had good drawing bic pens, and lousy expensive pens. A good pen is an extension of the artists imagination. A bad pen is only good for writing with.

I had to go back and look for your sig... again it was hard to find. Any piece you post here in this forum is an advertising piece and so your sig needs to be bold and in a obvious location. Save the sig nucked away in the corner for the folks who will pay for it... just my lowly opinion...
