I know what you're going thru.....I've had virus problems with my computer too. It took several hours to fix them. I had to call" Dell" support techs to fix it. I had to re-install my whole computer.....I hope you get yours fixed. The geek squad is very good.....they were the ones who originally set up my computer for me.
lynnandcharlie (Mar 18, 2010)
the geek squad had no luck but after being transfered to several different departments at AT&T the virus was found and it cost me $159, what a mess to have to re install your computer
TumblingUpwards (Mar 19, 2010)
Sorry to hear about all your troubles but this turned out beautifully, that glow through the trees is very nice.
lynnandcharlie (Mar 19, 2010)
thank you TumblingUpwards, I appreciate that

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want......He maketh me to lie down in green pastures....He leadeth me beside still waters....He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His namesake.......Yea...though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death...I will fear no evil....for Thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me....Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.....Thou anointest my head with oil.....my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.....and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.......Amen". This is my very favorite psalm......so I thought it would fit in with this pic. I like it better than the psalm that the ref pic had written. Anyways......I'm not finished with this draw.....I'm having problems getting the tools to work right. I don't know what is wrong....but the colors are not working like they should.....the colors look faded out to me....I don't know how to fix it, but I'm trying to draw anyway. Well....I took Elly's advice and used the dodge tool to lighten it just a little....and I like how it looks, so I'm posting this as "finished". Thank you all very much for your comments....I appreciate it.....:)

Thank you "all" very much for all of your nice comments....I really do appreciate it......I'm glad you all like the scripture and the pic......the 23rd psalm has always been my favorite psalm. I'm gonna try to work on it some more.....I'm havin' problems with the tools.....things just aren't working the way they should. Elly.....I'll try using the dodge tool to brighten it up a bit.....but the ref pic is pretty dark......but I'll try it and see if it looks better....thanks. I did try the dodge tool, and it does look better I think....it brightens it up just enough to make it look better......I'm satisfied with it now, so I'm finally finished with this draw.....:)
elly (Mar 19, 2010)
MUCH better! even tho it was just a very small brightening, it gave it just the right amount of 'pow'!! Glad it worked out!! And don't feel you have to follow your ref pic's to the 'T'....I never do! That's the artistic part of being an artist! LOL!
TumblingUpwards (Mar 19, 2010)
I like the depth in this, the glow is beautiful.
firecracker (edited Mar 19, 2010)
Thanks "elly"......I'm glad I took your advice......it does look better with just a "touch" of the dodge tool....."lol"! Hi "Tumblin'up"......thank you very much for your nice comment.....I'm glad you like the pic....:)

My first try at a this big guy.....and it's about as good as it's gonna get! As you can tell, I had a rough time getting that snout to look 'decent'....ugh! Still not happy with it...frustrating but I've got to move on from this one. At least I did learn some things along the way =)

Beautiful..the texture is amazing..you really should have done this in advanced...
elly (Mar 19, 2010)
Aww, thanks BMW =) I've done a few in advanced...just never sure when I begin a draw if that's the place it should be....no biggie =)
montezmaria (Mar 19, 2010)
I love the leather looking skin on this guy, wow. The skin has many stories to tell, different tones of gray and gold, aged and so beautiful. Love all your work, Elly!

Suntan (Apr 4, 2010)

firecracker (edited Mar 13, 2010)
Another awesome draw......I like the effect that you can get using the scatter tool.....I did a draw here with the scatter tool a long time ago....it's called "sacred Indian burial grounds".....it's in my gallery....it's fun playing with the scattering tool.....I think I might try it again sometime. I also remember "nikki" from YouDraw.....she's an awesome artist....I always admired her artwork there. :)
TumblingUpwards (Mar 13, 2010)
What a lovely drawing, beautiful seductive look too.
elly (Mar 13, 2010)
Thanks y'all! I am happy with this one =) Thanks, Flubs! Of course I know Alter.native..duh! Guess I didn't realize she and nikki are one in the same! She does brilliant work!! Also didn't realize anyone else around here knew of youdraw! It's a small cyber world out there.....

What a wonderful technique to use, subtle and beautiful.
firecracker (Mar 12, 2010)
Awesome draw......it looks like you had fun with the scatter tool......I'm gonna have to try doin' that sometime.....:)
elly (Mar 12, 2010)
LMAO@BMW!!! I LOVE that song!! I haven't heard it in years!!! LOL!!
You're right, Flub, no dodge or burn needed this time. And wow! In one day I've motivated someone to keep drawing AND gave someone a 'warm fuzzy'...I'm on a roll!!! Rock on!

I am not going to be finishing this, I don't think. It was a bit to big to bump down to the beg. board. Sorry about that.
