Contest Week 74: Another crappy idea
Axil62 (Mar 17, 2008)
Contest Week 74: Ninja vs Pirates Really, who cares about ninja? No one over 12, that's who. Also butt pirates for some odd reason. So these next couple of weeks the two of them are going to bore the crap out of you. With death. I think anyone who grew up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (like me, because all that matters is what I like) or went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland over and over (also me, because I'm a spoiled brat) can relate to this theme, so don't think i...

It's not terribly great, but I like it so far ^__^ Don't judge Smith's face just yet, I don't like it either!

Thanks so much Sweetcell ^__^ I'm really speechless, there's just so much talent around here!

By the way, am I allowed to tweak it a little as time goes on? There's a couple places I still don't like and would like to maybe continue working on.

Congrats on the win

GJ on the win Marfin, I think you are allowed to tweak it as much as you like. It's your own drawing and you have plenty of space left to do so.
Hmm, very certain you are allowed, but I could also see why it might not be 'allowed'.
Sweetcell (Mar 18, 2008)
Well, as for that if you tweak this picture now people won't see what the final product was that won it.
What I suggest (and you don't have to do this) is draw it again and work longer on that one. Though this is fine as is.

OOps, I meant to put this on intermediate...please forgive me. The layers are still confusing me. I would like to know if you can move it aside while drawing on another layer and then retrieve it. Was also wondering if you can revise your image after you submit it as done. This one was three layers.

Ahhh Laura, you know I am a sucker for the birdies, and especially the cardinals, I have tons of refence pics I want to do, Your work is fantastic and you are really starting to get the hang of it, and it shows in this one. Beautiful draw, and yes you can hide layers by clicking on the button next to them. you can even delete the "outline" layer that you don't want before you merge them, or any layer that maybe you were "experimenting" with, and come back and make a new layer if needed. And yes you can change the order of the layers, which is helpful if while plotting your pic you make an error of order, which I have done, oops, lol. In the oekaki-shi painter you can even use slide to make the layers semi-visible, which is a great help. Btw on your screen next to your name in the login bar, there is "config" that if you click on it allows you to change your applets to an advanced mode, which in the oekaki-shi painter gives you more layers, and a few more options, I haven't checked yet in lascaux yet to see what is available. memo me if you need any help or have any questions, I may be able to help.

LOVE cardinals; love this cardinal, in particular!

This is great QT, a wonderful pic and you said you are a slow learner. Very nice!
Sweetcell (Mar 7, 2008)
If you cleaned up some of the lines, fixed the bg a bit, and just added more light leaves there'd be no problem to have it here. Just needs cleaning up and tweaking.

About layers, on Lascaux they work the same as Shi, you can hide them, move them, merge them, and even make them opaque the same as Shi by moving the slider. Just make sure it's highlighted blue or you'll be making the wrong one transparant. If your still confused you can memo me or try the Wiki tutorial.

This is my fifth face here at 2draw. I am pleased but it took way too long. At first her eyes were too far apart so I had to redo one. Hopefully I am getting better with the tools here. The reference I used was http://www.morphthing.com/showimage/2/0/0/2480/Morph-of-Marilyn-Monroe-and-Scarlett-Johansson.jpeg

Hmmmmmmmmmm, marfin...this might be why I was struggling so much with the left side and the right side of the pic. The site I was at actually had Marilyn on the top of it but it was blurrier than this one, so I chose this one to draw from which I did not realize it was morphing....duh. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions....it is a learning curve for me....it will be slow going.
gel_o (Mar 2, 2008)
Very nice work on this one. I think you should move on up to Intermediate. I am glad to see your work here on 2draw.

Marilyn was such a vulnerable soul ... this pic really captures her sweetness.

It kiiiiiiinda looks like her, the mole and the hair esp. You did a good job on this though.
