I'm surprised to see multiple people referencing Horkey here. I don't think that your work resembles his even slightly (Which is a good thing!). I mean, sure, it's an ink drawing of a bird but your technique, style and linework is nothing like Aarons. Keep it that way! Killer work, keep it up.

You did such an amazing job on this! From 3 feet away, the thing seriously looks like a photograph.rghayati wrote:

I think anybody making that comparison is basing it mostly on the medium, and the level of detail. Patrick definitely has a recognizable style that is different from anyone else's (in my opinion).dsanacore wrote:I'm surprised to see multiple people referencing Horkey here.

Oh, no, though it's a bit of an easy comparison, my ink work is similar in Horkey's in all sorts of ways. This is 90% a factor of our using the same medium, but there's a dynamic of direct inspiration as well, and easily more so via Horkey than via any other ink artist I've studied / admired (Girard, Parker, Pope, etc). But I'd like to think I know inks well enough that what I learn from his pieces is as much What Horkey Isn't Doing as What He Is Doing---analysis of choice as much as result.dsanacore wrote:I'm surprised to see multiple people referencing Horkey here.

But even where that comparison is acknowledged, saying one artist is like one other artist is almost always a simplification. Even Horkey barely resembles Horkey sometimes.
