The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), also known as the dwarf leopard, is a wild cat distributed extensively over South America including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. They have been reported as far north as Texas. North of Mexico, they are found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas, although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.

The ocelot's genus Leopardus consists of nine species similar to the ocelot, such as Geoffroy's cat and the Margay cat, which are also endemic to South and Central America. All of the cats in Leopardus are spotted, lithe, and small, with the ocelot being the biggest.

Commission for Mr. Howard Cairns

Written authorization was given to me to use this photo as reference for derivative work.

Took aprox. 80 hours to finish over a period of 5 weeks. Lost about 35% color and detail quality when Scanned. (really did, unfortunately)

The size is about 95% of an A4 size paper.

Thank you.

About the character:
Captain America is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

Captain America uses a nigh-indestructible disc-shaped shield made from an experimental alloy of steel and the fictional vibranium. This alloy was created by accident and never duplicated, although efforts to reverse-engineer it resulted in the discovery of adamantium.

National Geographic magazine elected the view from Santa Luzia's mountain, down into the Atlantic ocean and into Viana do Castelo's municipality as one of the most beautiful of the world.

This was my first ever attempt at color Bic ballpoint pen drawing in 2011. I was in a hurry and with no patience for whatever reason so the work may not be as refined as i would want it to be today (a year latter from when i started using colored pens).

This took aprox. 6 hours to complete.

Originally I intended to spend 100 hours with this, and still I never spent so many hours with any drawing, in the end impatience won and I'll not work on this one anymore.

The original size is about 75% of an A2 paper sheet.

Took 3 and a half full Bic ballpoint pens to make this, 3 of them just for the background.

Any questions feel free to ask!

Thank you.

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a tiger subspecies that inhabits the Indonesian island of Sumatra and has been classified as critically endangered by IUCN in 2008.
I always wanted to draw a tiger, I love felines and decided to draw my first tiger ever, i hope you like it. This one is wild, that's why i love it. Big felines are not meant for zoos.

Took aprox. 20 hours to finish.

The original size is about 90% of an A4 paper sheet (Letter size in USA).

First of all, only Vermeer can paint a Vermeer.

Second, I'm aware this is a cliché drawing. I had a great time drawing this and that's what matters to me.

The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring (Dutch: Het Meisje met de Parel) is one of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's masterworks and as the name implies, uses a pearl earring for a focal point. Today the painting is kept in the Mauritshuis gallery in the Hague. It is sometimes referred to as "the Mona Lisa of the North" or "the Dutch Mona Lisa".

This is my favorite painting of all time.

The 2003 film Girl with a Pearl Earring stars Scarlett Johansson as the girl with the pearl earring, Griet.

References:

This is a small project between two other bigger projects. It looks how it looks and has the colors it has because I wanted it to be that way. I love strong colors and contrasts.

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the largest of the true foxes, as well as being the most geographically spread member of the Carnivora, being distributed across the entire northern hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to North Africa, Central America and Asia. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammal and bird populations.

Red foxes are social animals, whose groups are led by a mated pair which monopolizes breeding. Subordinates within a group are typically the young of the mated pair, who remain with their parents to assist in caring for new kits.

Took aprox. 8 hours to finish.

The original size is 6,5" x 7,5" or 17cm x 19cm.

Any questions feel free to ask!

Thank you.

Reference: None used. Only from imagination.

This started as a very small doodle sketch in pencil I was making during Eater family reunion, then I gradually became more interested in it and couldn't resist adding some color to it with my ballpoints and it naturally evolved into this.

Lost about 20% quality during scanning, my drawings always do unfortunately.

Took aprox. 5 hours to finish.

The original size is 4,5" x 3,5" or 9cm x 11cm. Very small.

This is my first Jaguar drawing ever.

The jaguar (Panthera onça) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
This spotted cat most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioral and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger.

Took aprox. 15 hours to finish.

Curious fact: I clean my pen's tip once a minute, so over 15 hours I cleaned it at least 900 times.

The original size is 6" x 8,5" or 15cm x 22cm (small).

Any questions feel free to ask! Thank you.

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus Greek hali = salt, aeetus = eagle, leuco = white, cephalis = head) is a bird of prey found in North America. It is the national bird of the United States of America and appears on its Seal. This sea eagle has two known sub-species and forms a species pair with the White-tailed Eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

Reference: My family member's photo

Lost about 25% quality during scanning, the smaller the drawing the more quality it loses.

Took aprox. 8 hours to finish. Just another quick doodle. Or call it a study or sketch. My first eagle head ever.

Size: 14,5cm x 11cm or 5,7" x 4,4"

Curious fact: I chronographed myself making between 3 and 5 lines per second, so over a period of 8 hours the drawing will be approximately, on average, made out of between 86400 and 144000 lines.

Feel free to comment and ask any questions.

Red hair, also called ginger hair occurs naturally on approximately 1–2% of the human population. It occurs more frequently (2–6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and less frequently in other populations. Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein.

Took aprox. 30 hours to finish. Lost about 20% quality during scanning.

FAQ: Due to hundreds of questions and my lack of time to answer them all here are the answers for the most frequently asked:

Q:How many colors do you have and what pens are these?
A: I have 8 colored Bic ballpoint pens, for this I used 6 of them plus black. They are just common everyday ballpoint pens. Buy them here: [link] you can also buy the Staedtler ball 432 or the Scent Sibles [link]
Q: Where do you get them? I have never seen them.
A: Staples, Ebay, Amazon, and pretty much any good office supply store, just because you haven't noticed them before doesn't mean they don't exist!
Q: Do you use any other medium mixed with the ballpoint pens?
A: No, I just use ballpoint pens for these drawings. Everything is 100% ballpoint pen.
Q: How do you mix the colors? How do you blend them?
A: I don't mix them nor blend them. Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and can not be erased. I just cross hatch the different colors in layers to create the illusion of blending and the illusion of colors I don't actually have.
Q: Are you a professional Artist?
A: No, I'm just a lawyer, art is just a hobby for me, although it takes from 5 to 50 hours or more to finish each drawing. I started drawing when I was 2, that's 28 full years of experience.
Q: What colors do you have?
A: Yellow, orange, magenta, light green, light blue, blue, pink, purple. I also have a classic black and a classic blue Bic pens.
Q: Do you trace the drawings, use projected images, what do you do to get the proportions?
A: No. I use a grid on the reference, I then draw another pencil grid on the paper to make the drawing the exact size I want, then draw the simple outlines in pencil as accurately as possible and then erase the pencil as I color the drawing. I look and draw, the traditional typical old way. At this point I don't need a grid, I can draw just by looking, I just use one to save from 20 to 30 hours.
Q: Do you use photo manipulation, digital effects, drawing tablets or any other digital medium?
A: No. I like to do my work traditionally, the hard way, the way I like and the only way I know how.
Q: Some say drawing exact copies of photos is not art.
A: I don't care what some people think and couldn't care any less! I love realism, I only draw for myself, as a hobby, to improve my skills, to practice, and because I love it, not to please critics. Also, there are as many concepts of what is art as there are humans on earth, so what really matters is what art is for you, in your heart.
