Ok here it is. After first hijacking Michs' post, I now started my own. Finally find a normal way to store my pics.

These are some (bad quality)pictures from the drawings I made. Unfortunately,I never have time to continue with them. To busy with work,travelling and partying. I never had any education in drawing or arts or whatever,I dropped out of school when I was 18 so u can say...I don't have any eduction at all:)
Here are 3 different ones I made, they are all 70 by about 40 cm. I made some close-ups for details,I hope u like them.
and for those who want to play a game:there are 32 different,famous, skyscrapers in the first one. So tell me, which ones are they.enjoy

OMG...wow! :eek:

That's amazing!

You rule!

Couz P.

;)

wow

mate

those are amazing

:eek2:

Wow... of course those are fantastic... how long do you spend on these...? You must have so much patience! :eek:


..btw I think 18 is quite a sensible time to finish school.. I think if you studied art for longer then they wouldn't like your pics unless they looked like a chimp had rolled on them so maybe it's best you just preserved and developed you talent on your own. ( although things might have changed in art ed since I was that age... ) ;)

I can only see:

Eiffel Tower
Pan-Am Building
Petronas Towers
Sears Tower
Hancock Building
The tall one from Singapore :D
1 Canada Square
Bank of China building, Hong Kong
WTC twin towers
Transamerica Pyramid
Central Plaza, Hong Kong (not sure about the right name)
Citicorp Building
Empire State Building

I recognise about three others but don't know their names...

thank u, thank u

I don't know anymore how long I worked on this one. Couple of hunderd hours. Sometimes I didn't touched it for a month. The next month I was working on it every free hour i had.
I have some pictures somewhere in different stages, they are pretty cool to see,maby it's handy for people who also want to make something like this

I never studied art:)I studied something with computers....... :sleepy:
There's a nice library in my city and the biggest bookstore in Europe is only 25km away(Rotterdam that is) That's where I get my knowledge :) more interresting then teachers :bash:

you are soooo good, and I thought I could draw :)
but those are just crazy, how long did it take to draw that first one with empire state, wtc, citicorp...

ever thought of commercialising your drawings? I would definately buy a copy

maby we can make a deal,Antwerp isn't that far to send it:)
How long it take? Check the last post.

Make me a price :)

And is it possible that I recognise Delftse Poort in the right corner below?

Is it going to be a public auction? :)

Make me a price :)

And is it possible that I recognise Delftse Poort in the right corner below?

hahahaha, maby I commercialise it, I might get rich:)
and that is indeed de Deltse Poort. I thought I just had to put something Dutch in it.

Dude. 70 x 40? That's insane! These rule.

And yeah, make me a copy! I'll send you one of mine! Seriously, email me or something. Wont cost you a lot since I live like 30 min away from you?

Man, these drawings are great. You should make prints of these and sell them.

Jesus!Your drawings are incredible!!!

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: WOW...you are talented

:) Thank u once again. That world skyline drawing isn't even my best. I made one for my uncles wedding, he's a big fan of my work. He wanted to buy that one, it's not for sale(by one million I start thinking:) )so I made one specially for him and his new wife. It's from a picture I made in the summer of 2001 in New York. The details are even better, I asked him to make a picture of it. As soon as I get it, I will post it.


and for the people who wanted to buy a copy. A guy at my friends work is a modern artist, he said it costed like 50 euro to print it..... Poster quality. It's way to much in my opinion. I can make just a normal copy under a machine, no idea how it will look like, probably like shit. ah well, maby I'll try

yeah, yeah, copy it..!

:eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

beautiful drawings!!, you have talent!!

:eek2:

That's really terrific! What do you do?

:eek2:

That's really terrific! What do you do?

Like in???.....what? Right now I'm sitting behind my computer :)

:eek2:

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
amazing prologic !

wow fantastic drawings! Are these called drafting or sketching? Either way I can see your great talent! I hope I can draw like that...~~

:runaway: mammie
you are so fucking good :hammer:

:eek2: Fantastic drawings!

oh wow some of the best things i have seen
should make prints !!!

why don't you send a little preview to a poster company, and ask them if they'd take your drawings (retouch them) and print them for all your fans?

I bet there are a LOT of people that would buy that poster :P

Love,

one of your big fans ;)

:)
Thank u for all your reactions,I just came back from Paris(so beautiful, and I added a other viewing point to my long list.The Eifel tower rules!)
I have no idea what I can do with it. I wish indeed that I can do something with it. We'll see.
BUT! U haven't even seen my best one.What I wrote, It was a present, and I don't have it here. I'll post it as soon as I can. It will blow u away.

It's just amazing!!!!

The perspective is so right, I got a real scare of hight looking on your paiting!
and when I looked the at first time, I was sure u just blendered a r-e-a-l image in photoshop or something...

it's absolutely great...

Ok here they are, I finally got some scans.The quality isn't perfect but u'll all get the point.
It's from a picture I made in the summer of 2001.......and u all probably know from which building it has been taken.....
It from a normal picture that I enlarged to my normal size,about 40 by 70. Advance of this that u can add so much more detail then the original. I don't know how much windows it has, but after the first couple of thousand u get pretty sick of it:)
I had to search to my books and the net to find close ups from building that I couldn't see on the picture.Especially the church has alot of detail, the trees came out real good.
At the right u can see just a little bit of the beam from the tower. So for the people who never visited it. this is how it was...


http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~gkoning/ny1.jpg

http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~gkoning/ny.jpg


ow, and I was asked several times how I made the the other ones, I found some pictures(not from the digital age) and I will scan them as soon as I have time. U can see the buildup from white paper to the landmarks to all the details, u will like it

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

!!!!
that miami one is great drawn perfect!

Impressive, you're very good.

You are THE GENIUS of the draw, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

What material do you use????

prologic in aus u finish schooling when ure 17, is it 21 over there or something??

You are THE GENIUS of the draw, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

What material do you use????

a hard and a soft pencil, a triangle, eraser and a calculator. and alot of patience:)




I think it's 16 when u've finished the lowest eduction. After that u can go to,what americans call, college.Where u can learn a job. Before that,it's all basic.

Remarkable. You have SOME TALENT, like MIAballinboi said, the Miami drawing is perfect. I wish I could draw like you. Congrats

Cannot you please please:

1. Send a sample to a poster company to let you earn some well earned money for your great art and let us have one of your wonderful drawings.

2. Scan in your poster at high resolution, put online (or send by mail) the high-res files to forum-members so we can print them and put them on our walls?

THEY ARE SO GRRRR... GREAT!! :) :) :) :)

I have to agree that you should be able to make some money from those drawings. They are spectacular.

:eek2: AMAZING :eek2:

...holy crap.

OMG!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!Did you use pencil to draw them? Btw, how big is it?

!!!!! Those are goddamn PERFECT, every little tiny detail and perspective... Can't find any lil' tiny mistake from your works :D

If prints of those were available I would buy them in a second.

once again, they're about 70 by 40 cm.
Thanks for the comments you all. Again someone who wants to buy a copy, so now I'm sick of it:). I'm going to try to approach a poster company or something, who knows what happens:) I can't copy it under a normal copying-machine, it will look like shit. So I'm going to try something, my cousin is going to help u, he's pretty smart in such things,we'll see.

I've some spare time a gain so I finally going to continue on the Chicago one. After that I don't know, maby a cathedral or something, just something different.

superb!
question, How long did it take to draw such enormous art?

I found some 'under construction' pictures. I had some requests to tell how I worked, maby this will help.

On the bottem of the second pic you can see the grid I first calculated and drawed on the board under my paper, beceause the paper is so big the dissapearing points are 1 meter away or something,impossible to work with.So I just drawed them on a small piece of paper,enlarged them and drawed them there. If u look closely u can notice them under the paper.

Then first a simple street patern. It's easier to draw when everything is square instead of diagonal lines, only on the right there is one diagonal street beceause I had to fit in the Flatiron building.
Then I started the computer for some nice pictures where I could work with. I only put the carcas of them,and from left to right, else it will get all blury when u accidentily touch it.

http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~gkoning/UC1.JPG

Filling up all empty space with little fantasy buildings.
I had to do Petronas all over again, the above half is way to big compared with the lower one.and it just happend to be that those 2 where the toughest to draw :bash:

http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~gkoning/UC2.JPG

and now drawing all the detail.Sorry, they're not high resolution, but this is made with a normal camera and I had to scan them.

:) TALENT :)

is that really a drawing???? :eek2: way, way, way impressive than i thought.. very artistic! good job!!

HOly Jesus Mother Christ!!!

:shocked:

Four and a half year after my last post....Time just goes to fast....
Anyway, didin't do alot after that post. I decided to change subject en started to draw churches and cathedrals. The problem is that these are about the most complex buildings on earth. The Sacre Coeur took me a few months, despite it isns't a really big drawing. Meanwhile a visited Italy and had many pictures taken. Visited the Duomo in Milan, in my opinion this is the most complex and detailed Cathedral in the world, it's simply amazing. And I had a new project. Started it, but was shocked with the details I had to put into it.Left it for a while, picked up again and left it for a year again. Went travelling for half a year and tried to finish it again when I got back. I finally signed it last week, 3.5 years after I started it. I'm glad that's done....See if you like it.

http://i38.tinypic.com/33f7r5s.jpg

Wow, Amazing.

Wonderful Steven :) really awesome. I have been at the Duomo in Milan as well... a really amazing cathedral isn't it?

I really loved the spinnakers at the top. They hover slightly above the city when you are at the roof of the building.

Thats is a seriously amazing drawing

Congrats man, I think you're kinda encouraging me to draw again. Of course I'm not half as talented and patient as you but I'm gonna give it a try.

Please keep doing it, specially drawings of old architecture.

Thanks lads, I really appreciate your comments.They encourage me to continue drawing. Just finished a 1 meter panorama view of the Sydney harbour, will upload it soon.

WOW AMAZING !!!!!!!
Excellent details

You mentioned in your very first post 5 years ago you have no arts education or training...well I have to say you would have put most of my fellow art college students to shame, your drawings are quality. You have a intrinsic use of perspective which is something that usually has to be taught, so I am very impressed.

amazing work, have you thought of drawing floorplans for the Cathedral

No, i haven't had any arts education or college, maby a wrong decision when I was younger. Dunno if it would brought me further. Really want to sell them one day, copies that would be probably. Still have to find a decent place that can print them.

@Ausie.Nope, no drawing of the floorplan. Like to work with perspective, floorplan is a bit to flat:) I have something else for you. The sydney harbour, it's 100 by 50cm. The details arent shown that good beceause the picture is taken a bit further then usual.

Hey Prologic, I hav a drawing request for u! Could u draw Downtown Salt Lake City, UT please? Thanks!

Hey Prologic, I hav a drawing request for u! Could u draw Downtown Salt Lake City, UT please? Thanks!

Sorry mate, I only make drawings of places I saw in real life. I only past through SLC by train, and it was dark:)

@prologic, great work dude, purely amazing, however i hate to be a pain but you spread it out a little to much, the bridge/opera house are a little closer to the highrises, other than that absolutely nothing wrong can't even find one building missing but the australia square may be missing, i think from that angle it would be behind other buildings, again amazing work

have u thought of possibly drawing individual buildings/skyscrapers, from a sort of front on perspective. i think it would be very nice to see some buildings by themselves
p.s. (by buildings i generally refer to 200m+, but lower are alright)

Hey Prologic, Could u maybe draw Boise, ID?

Hmmm I guesse u should draw ur own city! Rotterdam has a pretty nice skyline soow ;)
maybe something with the Erasmus Bridge ? ;)
and I see u like to work with alot of details so maybe Brussels Grand Place ? :D

@prologic, great work dude, purely amazing, however i hate to be a pain but you spread it out a little to much, the bridge/opera house are a little closer to the highrises, other than that absolutely nothing wrong can't even find one building missing but the australia square may be missing, i think from that angle it would be behind other buildings, again amazing work

p.s. (by buildings i generally refer to 200m+, but lower are alright)

Might draw some skyscrapers from the front once, busy with a panorama from Amsterdam.
And eh, you're wrong about the Opera House, I checked it with my own pictures I made from that angle. Google a image taken from Mrs. Macquaries point, and you'll see that it's perfectly correct:)

@Mike____
Visited alot of your nice cities in Flanders, but never went to Brussels.Really want to go there, nice lanes and perspectives over there.One day mate, one day..

absolutely crazy awesome i have never seen anyone close to how good you are.

How'd you work with the perspective?!?

man, you have AMAZING talent. Good thing you framed them ;)

mind if i have an attempt at cel shading some of your work?

Holly shit...
TEACH ME MASTER xD

Amazing drawings man.

Wish i could draw like u T_T I got the ideas, cant put on the page though ahaha xD

Wow those are so amazing and really wonderful its look like professional I really love those pencil drawing. I think you have lots of experience about pencil drawing. I really impress, too good.

Ok here it is. After first hijacking Michs' post, I now started my own. Finally find a normal way to store my pics.
