kejoco. if the numbness is in your thumb and 1st and 2nd fingers it may be carpal tunnel syndrome, the test the doctor did on me was to bend my hand forward at the wrist so my fingers were pointing back towards my body then he tapped on the top part of my hand, within seconds my thumb and the two fingers next to it were numb....I had to go for nerve conduction tests to see how bad it was - because after 2 minutes of holding a paintbrush my fingers were completely numb and I lost my grip. They found that the nerve which runs up through your wrist and through your palm to those fingers was 75% disabled in my rigth hand and 42% in my left. Basically there is a band of muscle like an elastic band that goes round your wrist to stop everything being loose when you flex your hand.... I had a small operation under local anasthetic to both palms ( 18 months between them) my hand was bandaged for a few weeks- but the result was worth it and I have mostly been back to normal... I do use a digital drawing tablet now because the cramps from using a mouse to draw were so severe... I got it secondhand though....(no pun intended) I know this is a long explanation but I thought it might help... regards... and best wishes here is a link for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_tunnel_syndrome

I had a feeling it might be carpal tunnel...but i don't want to admit to it.
keep thinking it might go away
I should make a dr visit this week.

thank you for the info

I like the sentiment on the bottom. :P

If I may offer a few critiques: The nose is too close to the eye. It needs to be longer, and thinner - unless you make the eye larger. Proportionalize. Annnnd... the colored part of the eye, Iris, I guess.. needs to be lowered. Rarely does the iris leave the edge of the lower lid, even when it's looking somewhere.

trying to draw a horse...

YOu did the watercolor look very well!

Sweetcell (Jan 27, 2007)

29 minutes? Lord, speed mistress. He looks a little perturbed, like he just became a gelding. :D

On an off note I drew tonnes of horses when I was young and was particularly proud of a pencil sketch of a horses head which I've since lost.

cmb (Jan 27, 2007)

Ouch! lol sweetcell... and finally goodnight!

Miss_DJ (Jan 27, 2007)

cmb (Jan 27, 2007)

thanks sweetcell! I dont know how or why I can draw so fast- maybe Im in a different time continuumnnumm thingy...

davincipoppalag (Jan 27, 2007)

I think you're just talented..and do it because ..you can!

woah_pockster (Jan 28, 2007)

this looks awesome, I really like how she's not perfect.
like when people draw girls a lot of the times, they have perfect lips, a perceft nose, or something.
this girl doesn't look perfect my any means, yet she is just beautiful<3

A rose of darkness, for you my dear.

I made things glowy.

Harder than I thought. lol

deathking (Jan 27, 2007)

I wanted to see if Klox's style was an easy one so I tried. It isn't easy and I have a lot more amazement at his work now. BTW if you're angry I tried your style it wont happen again.

Kloxboy (Jan 27, 2007)

I'm not angry but slightly amused that you thought it would be that easy. My skill didn't happen over night and merely drawing faces is not my style. Most of the faces I draw are just expressions of my mood at that point in time and they don't fully represent my style.

I suggest you take my advice, look for online resources on how to improve your digital drawing and painting skills.

deathking (Jan 27, 2007)

Okay but if they represent your mood I'm srry you feal that way.

Kloxboy (Jan 27, 2007)

You can't know up unless you're down sometimes. ;) At any rate, my drawings are just an outlet for my emotions, they don't reflect how I feel all the time.

Here Kitty Kitty..

Not my story, just an idea I took from the Idea Box. But by all means he/she can have it. Too many mice in the world. Good kittie. The eyes seem a little big though.

cmb (Jan 27, 2007)

yep - I know what you mean about the eyes....but it is meant to be a bit scary monster too... I will have to check out my kitties eyes and make alterations possibly....

woah_pockster (Jan 28, 2007)

mrow! cute :]

Used references from pictures taken a specific points in the last few years. Amazing how much a person can change in under three years.

Those are pretty tight broski. Hope to see more of your work on 2Draw.

Alter.Native (Jan 27, 2007)

Very expressive. I like the choice of background colors also.

Sweetcell (Jan 27, 2007)

It's the same person? He has changed. Your style is very much like the old school comic book artists (of which I grew up with and love) There needs to be more of this on here.

Coeur-joie (Jan 27, 2007)

I'm incredibly flattered. As much as I would love to capture the old comic feel, I still have so much to learn about the body. The colors were intentional, I'm glad you like them.

I plan to draw plenty more, so no worries.
