Very well done; I love your grey scale pencil drawings!

Let us know if they come up for sale; if not, maybe a "give-a-way" drawing!

I second this and will add that you ARE an artist!

To know the future is to be trapped by it

If I could draw half that well I would call myself an artist. Very well done.

Surprised

Guys, a heartfelt thank you to all of you for the praise. Put the drawings up to gauge reaction of aficionados and genuinely surprised.

As for selling them, it would probably not be cost effective as if charged by the time that they took to draw, and to cover UK income tax rules, the figure would have to be in the low hundreds, however, if people want to download the images that I have uploaded then I am not going to complain.

Attached are are a couple of Bremont drawings,

Wow, great job. You are very talented. Love your work. I would love to see more please. The Deepsea is exceptional. I would say, sign your work, maybe watermark it!!! At least put a copyright on it.

Take a look at juliekraulis on Instagram - I would say your work is up there with her stuff and it looks like she is well paid.

Thanks for the compliment, not sure I can copyright it as suspect the copyright rests with Rolex.

Have attached a drawing of a Sea Dweller

You did that in 5 minutes ?

That is way beyond my skill level - takes me longer than that to work out the measurements.

For me the lettering is always an issue and yours is absolutely spot-on - I take my hat off to you
