Another oddity from my mind. Did this because davinci said to try Lascaux program. The UNDO would not work so this drawing was done without a single UNDO. Lots of REDOS tho!! The program is pretty good, I didn't try all the features. It is kind of like Paint Shop Pro that I use offine and a mini photoshop. |

Somedays I rememberI apologise to those above who were commenting on my original drawing. Somehow, it changed and I had no idea it was going to. I draw from "inside" a lot. This is just where the skull led me.

well it really did change...i love the texture to this :)

It was not when I drew this, but today it is, so I am commenting on my own drawing. I flew out of New York City exactly 24 hours before the planes hit. I was in town for a wedding, my cousin and her fiance who worked in the Trade Center for Cantor Fitzgerald on one of the floors where no one survived. Had they not married that weekend and left for their honeymoon, he would be gone now. They came back and attended dozens of funerals for his co-workers. I guess this image was inside me jes waiting to appear and finally it did.

this is how i believe art is. It happens to you. It emerges from you. It speaks to you, as well as to others. Sometimes you can plan it, sometimes it surprises even the artist |

Just still trying to get the tools to work. Ended up with this odd shaped canvas so made the best of it! The cloud tool is cool tho.

It reminds me of those old curlers... kinda like spools. Those were waaaaaay back, though. You probably don't even remember them. lol

Now what Gerbear has achieved here is to perfectly amalgamate the images that in everybodies minds when you say flying saucer. Forget everything you see in films, and be honest...this is what a flying saucer would definitly look like....plus it comes with the optional extra of having a cheeky, animated quality....
DeTroy (Jul 13, 2006)
I think actually that saucer does not contain fierce monster life forms but a kind of cosmic teddy bear with a smiley happy face, just playing...discovering new worlds not for science or war but as places to play. They have grasped that the universe is to roam in not to make enemies but playmates, not to cause fear but friendship, not to show hate but love....they would have to be bears to know that...

more experimenting

I do that crayon project with my kids (I am an art teacher, all ages). But we use india ink over the crayola, faster. They still love it tho now you can buy Scratch art sheets that already have it done and all you have to do is scratch..that takes the real fun out of it!!Vidlit huh? Never heard of that before!! I watched it but will watch with sound tomorrow, don't want to wake the hubby *L* Soooooo...you do these vidlits huh? Any money in it? I am quitting teaching in the fall to persue my own artwork but would love a "side" paid art project. You have prolly seen enuff of my stuff by now to know I can do realism or whatever style is called for ina project. I did 6 illustrations for an astrology website Ezine. They paid well too and I got to keep the original art. Very nice job on the vidlit!! I recognized your style. :) Pretty odd about Frankenstein and Flowers!! What is the chance someone was gonna mention Frankie on my flower draw? Zero? Less than zero? This happens to me every day...it is driving me insane *L* Tues. some lil kids in my art class mentioned the daughter of a woman I had not seen in 8 yrs at least. Less than 48 hours later I walk into a restaurant and there she is!! Geeeeeeez.

oh sorry... I didn't see this... I saw your comment in my forum post so I came back to reply... yes, I did 3 Vidlits... and they paid me to do them (I don't know what you'd consider "well", but I was happy with it because I loved doing it) They are short video clips advertising published books right before they hit the shelves. Here are the links to the other two: http://www.vidlit.com/trumpnation/http://www.vidlit.com/bullrider/ Doesn't EVERYONE in their right mind think of Frankenstein when they see a flower? hah :)
gerbear (Apr 24, 2006)
Hey DBa, I went and watched Bullrider, it was great! Trumpination is not working. I tried getting there from the website also. I had never heard of a vidlit before, what a good idea!
DeTroy (May 25, 2006)
I love this flower, because to me, this picture is not so much about flowers as the way the world around throws beauty in our face. We must look for it though, and sometimes search, but it is there, in sudden surprising ways |

Another "colored pencil approach". I work in them in real life, this is great to work up ideas for works on paper!!
PS (Oct 29, 2007)
Very nice work here, I really like the details on this.

Charming, charming, and - did I mention? - charming!
QTgillie (edited Mar 8, 2008)
Hey, I did not know you were here. I love all of your stuff. Would love to see you do some more. Sketchfu has gotten boring for me, I am afraid. I have also made an enemy here and not sure how to fix it. She (sweetcell) is really pissed at me. I only memo'd her that I did not appreciate her nit picky comments. Ouch...I got a mouthful back. Now I see she is a top dog her....oh.....woe is me. Something came over me and possessed me, I swear! Miss seeing you...how is your back? Come visit.I think this one, your anime or what ever you call those and your nude are my favorite.
Sweetcell (Mar 9, 2008)
I'm top dog? When did that happen? I must have lost the memo from Marcello the owner.As for Gerry she doesn't draw here anymore. Hmmmm top dog. I think I'll make that into a T-shirt. |

This is my first draw. Just playing with tools. This did not take me 3 1/2 hrs. I forgot to turn it off and left the puter for ages.
gerbear (Apr 3, 2006)
Thanks Sweetcell..pick that jaw up, you are the talented one!DBA..oh...great initials..btw *L*..I will not fit the mold here. I will draw patterns and odd things. I teach drawing, it is kinda like being at work to do realism for me plus NO WAY could I EVER catch up to you buncha geniuses here! The work here, and yours..is beyond description.
DeTroy (edited Apr 5, 2006)
H there....I reallly love the bold and vivid use of colour here....it adds an expressive quality to the image. Now..here are the four reasons...the airfare would be too expensive............it would fade quickly in the cold..........everyone knows martians do not appreciate flowers the way we do............and it would be more luggage than there is space for in the flying saucerYou may think these are crazy reasons, but trust me they are the right ones for this image
gerbear (Apr 6, 2006)
ty DeTroy! Glad someone finally thought of some reasons! :)
Meno (Mar 7, 2008)
Ooooooooooo ..... fabulous! |
