OH OH such controversy! Gosh, people with different opinions, stirring up in the machine! Oh and get your head out of your 'bum' Peter, you know you're damn amazing at what you do, the point is, not everyone has to be LIKE what YOU do to be considered 'good'.

People think i'm trying to be negative when i make comments, when i'm just offering my opinion to try and help people improve, i'm not saying my opinion is right it's just an opinion like everybody elses.

I think the rest of it is beautiful, i was just saying that the hut could look a little better.

I'm just saying that I'm very happy you joined here. :)

Yes..always happy to have new members...very nice picture indeed..:)

mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)

thanks guys for the comments :D
Suntan - heh, its just luck that i joined here :D i was fed up with OekakiCentral and wanted to try some other oekaki site. i found this other oekaki site where i sent my registration application, but while waiting for my confirmation email, i found this site and i didn't need to wait for any administrator to begin drawing oekakis :D and also this site looks to be more active than the other one, so, yay!
Bobstained - ah you meant that. heh, the hut does look does look a bit rubbish, doesn't it, but then to my eye so does the horizon line too. I meant to just do a quick 20-30 minute landscape study, and then i ended so frustrated with getting the sea to look even halfway decent.. and as for the hut, thats my second try to draw the hut and it still looks like that... for my excuse i can say that i didn't understand the form of the hut from looking at the reference picture... it just looked to me like a haphazard bunch of sticks, so thats how it pretty much ended...
and besides guys, i made this in the beginner section, im sure this will be lost quickly enough in the flood of other posts that are made in this section. When i post in the intermediate or advanced boards i will take more time to draw.

everybody else, sorry for not replying, but im really slow at writing stuff and i really need to go back to drawing (or should i say painting?) this nude in the advanced board. It will be awesome! :D

Sometimes when I draw a pic it seems really easy, when everything just clicks.For some reason this was one of those times.

mirror portrait

patienceisoverrated (Dec 20, 2009)

this is a list of things i would like to tell you about myself:

i don't like looking at photographs of people i know

i touch my neck and collarbones when i don't know what to do with my hands

i like to chew the ends of pens

i am terrified that i am or may someday be boring

vacuuming is my least favourite household chore

i have this romantic fantasy that i will one day move to arizona and live in the desert and be dusty and dry and eccentric and have a motorcycle. people will come to visit me in my tiny desert house and we will drink gin and talk about interesting things and watch the stars. even the word arizona is lovely to say. this idea of arizona is so built up in my mind that i almost never want to go there for fear that the real arizona could not help but disappoint, and i don't want to ruin the daydream.

i dance in a manner embarrassingly similar to my mother

i am immediately charmed by anyone whose smile tips up higher on one side

tell me something about yourself if you like

I meant that as a compliment when I said that you looked like this nurse. She had been an army nurse when she was younger, but when I knew her she was older, and was the "head nurse" on the floor that I worked on. You look like a younger version of this nurse.....and yes, she was very strict, but she was honest and fair.....I had much respect for her. I don't know any sign language at all....I wish I did.....I bet it would be very interesting to learn. Awesome portrait!! :)

elly (Dec 22, 2009)

(hope this little story doesn't bore you too much....if it does, you can slap me around later =p

I learned a song in sign language a few years ago, a Christmas song to be exact called "Humble Mary, Gentle Mary." (or was that "Gentle Mary, Humble Mary"??) ....Anyway, I learned it from a deaf woman/friend of mine so I could lead her thru the song she was performing during a children's Christmas performance we put together. It wasn't easy to learn as it had many many motions but I was determinded!

During the performance at one point in the song, she swung her hand down and out and hit the live mic stand next to her, knocking it over to the floor with a big crash (she didn't hear a thing tho>wink<)..but, we kept going and finished the song to great applause.

The funny part is that this song was the only (seemingly) 'serious' part of the production but it left everyone a bit confused as to whether or not it was set up and supposed to happen because the play, called "Nativity, The Final Dress Reheasal", was about kids rehearsing for a Christmas play who were not understanding the true meaning of Christmas and sorta write their own parts...for example..."Mary" dresses up in a fancy robe and slippers because after all, she "IS giving birth to the Son of God so why shouldn't she dress up a little" and one of the 3 wise men comes out dressed up as Elvis...he told his mother he needed a costume for a play because he's playing "a King"...She thinks he's playing the part of "The King" and gets him the Elvis costume...he even had a grand entrance with strobe lights, fog and Elvis moves...lol..

Many other 'rehearsed mistakes' take place throughout the whole performance and to this day, no one knows for sure if that mic was hit on purpose or not =) LOL!

nice draw, patience!

I like your story, Elly.
About me..
I'm a funny person.
I've been accused of being 'too nice.'
I used to sing professionally.
I lived in Arizona for 7 yrs, and it was magical.
I've kissed someone for 45 minutes without doing anything else and it was bliss.
Some music moves me to the point of distraction.
I love too deeply.
I'm too hard on myself.
I've done many drugs in my life and am blessed to be alive.
I haven't done any drugs or alcohol since March 12, 1989.
I've been a Den Mother, assistant Soccer Coach, a model and a dancer.
I love creative projects and I've created 2 books so far.
I put together a Celebration of Life Video for two of my favorite people.
My Grandfather looked like Burt Lancaster and my Grandmother looked like Maureen O'hara, and my Mom looked like Natalie Wood as a young girl.
People used to say I looked like Marie Osmond, and in 8th grade, I 'went steady' with a boy for one week who looked like Donny Osmond...lol
When I was 25, I sang at Wahweap Lodge at Lake Powell, in Page, Az. and a little girl asked me for my autograph after the dinner set we did. :o)
My best trait is my friendliness.
My worst trait is my intolerance.

Mocha_Bean (Jan 12, 2010)

I went to Arizona for Christmas. It wasn't like I imagined but it still was such a wonderful place. Gorgeous scenery, too. I'm going to move there at the end of February.
Love your work. ♥

The only thing i dont like is the peachy colour under her chin and on the side of her face, it doesn't seem to flow as well as the rest of the drawing.

I couldn't fix everything i wanted to because i still dont know how to use the copy and move tool in lascaux.

shults (Dec 15, 2009)

Can't see that..
Does she mean her eye is too close to the nose or is the angle not right?

staci (Dec 15, 2009)

i mean the eye is slanted down too far, towards the nose and the deep shadow between the eye and nose is off, meaning the nose is off. seems like the whole eye is too far down. and all of these things are very slight details that can be hard to fix in such a small drawing. its like if i cover the top half of her face, i can see it, if i cover the bottom half, doesnt look anything like her. its also kinda lifeless. she's smirking with her eyes in this scene.
