The Eighth Wave
By JanBoruta
I shouldn't post it here because of bad quality 
Comissioned image; 50x70cm; HB, 2B, 4B graphite pencils. It shall be considered my tribute to the magnificent Aivazovsky. He painted the famous "Ninth Wave".
I didn;t have any time to scan it and put it together, so I had to use a camera I had to heavily manipulate the photo to achieve the effect similar to the real-life piece. Eat me.
Regards,
Tom

Great work!
They're going to destroy all their sails, leaving them out in that kind of weather! 
The detail in your ships never ceases to amaze me..

Chciałam pod niektórymi Twoimi pracami zamieścić jakiś comment ale zajełoby mi to tyle czasu, że pozwolę sobie napisać pod tylko tą, że wszystkie zamieszczone ostatnio są GENIALNE. Pozdrawiam
It's stunning! Thrilling emotion! Love those black waves and clouds! Very mysterious too. Brings the book Treasure Island to my mind.
Wow, this is amazing, don't see why u say it's bad quality, the ship's sails look great 
I love this piece cuse teh ship looks very detaild, it looks like a photo
Poor ship, it reminds me of Poseidon

Tomu sa hovorí sila ceruziek! Má to fakt ťažkú atmosféru, drsné kontrasty a celkovo si to zaslúži +fav
It's amazing to see such violence and power in a pencil piece. If I had any comment to make, it would be to demonstrate more wind with the pennants and flags.
If this is bad quality, I can't imagine to think oh how much better it is in person to see.
nie no zwykłe "ładnie" to tutaj niedomówienie
Nie przesadzaj, zawsze mogło być lepiej 
już nie bądź taki skromny
I like the picture It's a bit rough, but it fits with the idea. And your storm looks just great, it's a breathtaking view

What do you mean by "rough"? The quality of the photo or something else? I mean the pencil strokes. They seem a bit harsh with the ship, but maybe that's just me. Or it is your style But as I said, I like the picture as it is
But as I said, I like the picture as it is I think that the photo ate much of the initial quality, in real life it all looks proper :S
I know what you mean, it's the same with my pictures *sigh*
That is seriously off the hook man. Your pencil work is awesome!
Thanks! I'm trying to improve
