Song of the Unformed...

Hi,

My name is Allen Williams. This is a detail of a personal piece(and also my first post here). I work in both traditional and digital media (this piece is Graphite on hpArches 300lb watercolor paper).

I want to say thanks to Davi for giving me the opportunity to post here. The demon bust below is great and there are some really incredible artists here!

Wow, that is some fantastic work! I absolutely love all those intricate details and that thing's design is just fascinating.

Thanks so much! Your post(the two creatures from the bestiary) is extrodinary.

Very Cool.

Thanks John, I went to your site. Your editorial illustration and narrative style is beautiful.

Cool pic, Allen! I'm particularly fond of the balance of soft forms and textures, transitions and contrasts of darks and lights, in the upper right portion. How are you applying (and removing?) this graphite... Some areas look like fanned-out washes.

[Allen Williams]

William,
Thanks for the kindness! I love discovering textures in a drawing and yes, its graphite powder in places, scrubbed in with a cotton pounce that I made. It gives me a good, middletone to build on. You have a great site as well!

Beautiful work Allen.

Such elegant work! I really like how you balance large open shapes with tiny areas filled with intricate details, it works really well.
Welcome to CreatureSpot :)

Thanks Shreya, I'll do my best to try and keep up but there's a huge amount of incredible work here. I love your site and I've admired your work in some of the other forums!

A very big welcome to the blog, Allen. I've been browsing through the pages again after a month of so of absence, and seeing your work here is a real treat.
