A few rough sketches and the final preliminary drawing for a new painting titled “Giant Velles Protecting the Holy Oak-Tree”. This is a private commission, however when finished it will be included in my upcoming book on Giants. There is a nice story (although a little sad) that goes with the painting.
Akseli Gallen-Kallela, 1899 “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This...
What do I know? What do I know that you don’t know? Suppose I know something that you don’t … why, or how would that be beneficial to you? That which we call knowledge, or accumulated knowledge, is just a residue of my own life’s experience. Footprints in the sand...

your values and composition are beautiful. thank you for sharing! how large are the pages you are putting together?
can't wait to see it with colours! it's very powerful!
Insanely good as usual- can't wait to see how the piece develops!
His right arm seems really long.
Not very large, about 30X42 cm.

Amazing work Petar!
An incredible work of draftsmanship! I love how it all comes together. Who am I to criticize, but the giant's club looks a a bit too static to me, like it's resting on his shoulders.
I am so excited for your new book. This drawing is stunning, as much as I admire your paintings I always get lost in how beautiful your line work in yours drawings are. A true master.
This remark makes sense.
Thank you all! The underpainting of this piece is under way. Once this is dry, the real battle will start. This poor giant has to deal with 12 fierce warriors… I, on the other hand, have to deal with him , and the 12 fierce warriors! 🙂
Hi Kiri! 🙂
I like all that howling and leaping… and raw power of the first sketch.
It is great Petar, as usual…
The pictures remind us the “Romantic Era “. Yes , sometimes we need to travel in the past and make a bridge with the present.Thanks for your brilliant sketches.Unbounded Technology
It is a nice sketch no doubt and the theme of the sketch is also good. We look forward for your next initiatives.Unbounded Technology
Thank you, Aleksa!
