I originally did a work similar to this with oil on canvas about 10 years ago. I believe it was while I was studying a book called "How to Paint Roses".

aww, what can I say, it's so beautiful! I like the soft color, and the way the flowers are, it's almost as if they have expressions

Awesome pic.....the glow of the light source is really cool. And those trees...amazingly thin lines. Awesome.

honeywhiska (Jan 11, 2004)

how did you do this??? it looks so realistic, like a photo!!

EverDream (Jan 16, 2004)

I like this...I like this alot...perhaps it's because it looks just like a watercolor painting? *shrugs*
This still is beautiful work though. Great job!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 27, 2004)

This is absolutely spectacular. Such a great job in drawing focus to the little birds in the nest.

Fires for thought

odd drawings tend to pop out when someone has a lot of things on their minds has anyone else noticed such? Anyway, that's my case and this is what the outcome was. Enjoy.

marcello (Dec 14, 2003)

that's a good question, considering they're books with no pictures in them.

Childlike_Vampire (Dec 14, 2003)

But...there are pictures in the Harry Potter books...at the beginning of every chapter...and on very nearly every cover...

marcello (Dec 14, 2003)

she didn't draw them

h0micidal-pupp3t (Jan 18, 2004)

You know what? This make me think of Sirius Black (;____;). Not Snape in the least.
Anyway. I'm odd. Now on to the groveling!
This is so amazing. It a-l-most has a sepia tone to it. I love the expression, and the scan lines as well.
The color around the edges draws attention to the person. *nods*

"Hi!"

Finished. See the caption for entry two to see what I think of this. >_<

*massages forehead in annoyance*

Look. In no way was I bashing Roy, insulting his work, etc, etc. I agree, he's fantastic for his age, and per usual, most of his drawb by hand works are better than his oekaki. However, it IS possible to attain smoother lines in Shi-Painter, and I was just pointing it out. The point is, he's trying to work his way up to Ian's level, and he's well on his way there. However, if he gains no constructive criticism....what's he going to base his improvement on?

Also. I know what it's like to compare yourself to people who are ridiculously skilled; I, myself, stupidly compare myself to people such as Cara Jane Mitten, Aido Rakaen, Ursula Vernon, Jessica Hickman, Roux (Hilary See Penna), Lurid, Holly Ramirez, Amelia Stoner, and so forth. And because of constant viewing of their work, improvement can be achieved. I've drawn both a piece in Amelia Stoner's style, and one in Cara Mitten's.

And for the last note: If you don't like being attacked for what you say, say what you originally planned to say more politely the next time. Then something like this *waves hand around* may be avoided.

TheLIVR (Sep 18, 2003)

I know what I did was definately not constructive criticism, and maybe not the most polite as it did. However, it is needed. Grounding statements like those can really help people refocus, so they don't delude themselves into a constant "oh my god, I suck, why can't I draw as well as amazingly-godly-artist-guy?" One of the things I hate the most of my artist friends is there constant self-loathing. I've found that they need perspective. Not the drawn type, the mental one. To keep a level head, they need to keep their eyes on the reality of things. If Roy happened to actually be able to create a work that matched one of Ian McConville's weekly cartoons, you know what it would mean? That Roy is a better artist than Ian McConville, and was able to produce top quality merchandise with inappropriate tools.

safescene (Nov 19, 2003)

just a pic. :) it's alright, but could (and will) be perfected, just because I want it to be. Oh, and take away about an hour and a half, and that's about the right amount of time it took me to make.

Seek a Dream

rosalyn (Sep 19, 2003)

" Seek a Dream of
warm days and cool
nights.
Search for meaning of
moths and bug-lights.
Spring has end
and the warm days now come.
Now I let all song
past in air be sprung.
Summer"

I love what looks to be a flock of birds in the background moving towards the clouds. I think small details like that really can make a picture stick out. Also, love the border. Looks really really pretteh. =D GJ.

nyao (Sep 30, 2003)

wow... that's so prettie... it's all elegant... so prettie... me like birdie and colourz. ^^

The style reminds me of Usagi Yojimbo. It's very nice - simple, but powerful. Cool. ^_^

elana (Dec 11, 2003)

Virgil is the name of my grandfather, you could make a female to go with this guy and name her Gertie (my grandmother) LOL!

mikhail (Dec 20, 2003)

Female warrior elf for Marcello -finished-

Xodiak (Jul 6, 2003)

A drawing for Marcello! You asked me to suprise you! I will try to finish it soon. I rate it 18+ because honestly I do not know how to rate my drawings any more. I will rate all of them 18+ and you can change the rate to anything if you think it doesn't offend someone. However there are not genitals or nipples in the drawing (or are there?) >;)
|XOD|

~edit~
I finished the drawing! It is 13+, unless you click the edit before the final picture. You can remove her clothes by doing it and the drawing becomes 18+!!! <:D
