Agape Love

This ballpoint pen art or drawing demonstrates what love and romance can be within a marriage. Powerful or dark bold lines mixed with those gentle half tones on the ladies lovely face help make this picture work.***** I always start off a soft picture with light or gentle half tone lines. Building up the darkness or details simply forms my picture in stages. The more you go over a work the sharper, darker or more detailed it should become. Pencils, charcoal or pastels all work about the same as a ballpoint.***** Frames, mats, lettering and numbers certainly can add more dimensions to an artwork if done well. Dressing or fixing up a picture works very well if commercial or displaying is in order. Thanks for reviewing my artwork or words of life. Please, comment on what you see and like my friends because its always great to hear from you!***** Thank you, Jerry Stith

Jerry, unfortunetly this ink drawing it is not a 3D rendering. It will be nice to live the space for an artwork that fits that description. Thanks.

Kukua Akumanyi 29 Dec 2006

I have only just learnt about agape love it very interesting. again really like the red tone in the theme of love.

David Holcombe 27 Dec 2006

There is much tenderness in this image. Agape is platonic love, but with a man and a woman, I have more of a feeling of physical love as well. Everyone but small children most confront physical pulsions. Some succeed in redirection those tendancies, others do not. Human beings are very complex. Nice drawing.

Atamjeet Bawa 26 Dec 2006

awesome....

Stanley Layman 26 Dec 2006
