Those who are not conversant in works of art are often surprised at the high value set by connoisseurs on drawings which appear careless, and in every respect unfinished; but they are truly valuable... they give the idea of a whole.

    Cool Pix!!! It´s way cool, but is it computer-drawn or drawn by hand? I´m always curious about that.

    I don’t know about this image specifically, but my impression is that most of these are drawn on paper first, then scanned and finished in Photoshop. See the links in the article to Tutorials and in the first comment to instructional DVDs.

    Also see my more recent post about Feng Zhu’s involvement with Gamma Ray Studios.
