The Kingdom

Hi!

Here’s the finished A4 sized artwork! Took a bit longer to finish than expected because I got a bit carried away with the details. :)

Tools used: Black marker, Micron 01 and 005.

About Micke Nikander

Hi! I'm a graphic designer and artist from Finland. I like creating pictures from scratch as much as documenting the wonders of the world through a lens. No, actually I like drawing more.. :) -Micke

Sick! And yeah; nothing wrong in getting carried away in details – when that happens, then it’s really just the art taking on a life of its own.

  Hi man! That’s pretty much what happened in making this one. “What could I still add to it without going too far?”. You just need to stop at some point when the result is satisfying enough. Some day I’ll make one with only lines. No black or white areas, just thousands of lines. :)
