Iran's Thin Red LineThe highlight of Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before the UN General Assembly was a diagram of a bomb - conjured to illustrate Iran's allegedly imminent nuclear weapons capability - upon which he dramatically drew the proverbial (red) line in the sand. Earlier he'd asked, 'given...[the] record of Iranian aggression' what kind of havoc will 'the world's most dangerous terrorist regime' wreak? Let us briefly examine the record, which is indeed ominous:

After seeing ~artgeza-II's (aka Kotik) bold white on black 'speednudes' I decided to try to create something similar. I'll say this: it's not as easy as it looks. With pencil the question is always: to smudge or not to smudge. I think I made the wrong decison.

This was drawn with *mjranum's "Duty" as a reference.

White pastel pencil on black card. About 3 hours work.

This is fantastic!

This is indeed my favourite

I can't stop looking at it. I love bold, rough dynamics.

Stunning.

Very Nice!

Excelent work!

This is really great. I wouldn't consider it "too" rough. If you don't full view, it looks perfect.
I love working in the negative, but for me it's too hard without reference.

Just have a look through *mjranum's or *Renoux's or *ABrito's gallery, and you'll find PLENTY of reference material for 'negative work' (especially if you crank up the contrast in Photoshop).
