I sit in front of pen and play pen-charmer music and when it starts to stand up, I snap the picture.

If you don't believe that...

It is not suspended at all. It is Photoshop trickery. In reality it is laying flat on a piece of cardboard.

With Photoshop, you can make a mule look like a supermodel. But it has to be a pretty good shot of a mule to begin with.

I make brief instructions how to do this in the post titled: Perspective Shadow

Very nice. Looks like a green Buckeye Burl but Travis is probably right.

Fantastic looking pen, Grain, and picture. Great job.... I agree it looks like an Earth shot.

Can't criticize the pencil or the photo except that I believe it would look more like a pencil if some of the lead was showing. I dunno why, but most artist pencil picture posted do not show the lead. Without it, looks like something is missing, IMHO.
