This is cute, but not yet intermediate.

I already mentioned this on another of your pieces but I'll repeat it here since your still working on it.
The lineart could be cleaner and a little darker. Airbrush is good to use, set a med, drawn thick, then coming back with the soft erasure on med/low and shaving it down. The lines looks cleaner and smoother. And your coloring, though pretty, is way to light. Try to darken it, and add a background other then white and for God's sake, avoid the blur tool. It messes pictures up if overused.

This is fine so far.

OK, im not much of a background person, apparantly i like plain,pale colored backgrounds so dont expect an intricate background from me anytime soon.Mabye some time in the future. But for now this is what I'll do. oh, and i tried to make the lines clearer. tell me if i need to make the lines more visible, and I'll do what I can. =)

It's actually quite fun to draw from life rather than a photo.

unbelievably nice

PolythenePam (Jun 22, 2007)

Haha, no you don't want a camera like this! It's only a Pentacon Pracktica, which was a replica of other better cameras at the time. It was made in East Germany (while there still was an East Germany) and the light meter doesn't work when you set the exposure at around 1/500 or 1. The little lightmetre scale inside the viewfinder is wonky too.

But I'm taking donations for a Leica.

I do that when I don't know what to draw. If you have something around that's interesting to draw then I say draw it. You certainly learn more from a life ref then a static one.

Wow, do they even make camera's like that anymore? It's like since digital all these camera's look like they should be in a museum. But they're more fun to use. Nice Giselle.

PolythenePam (Jun 22, 2007)

lol, yeah, there are a lot of film cameras still being made. The quality of the photos will always be immpecable compared to digital, what with the lack of pixelation. Chemical processing always gives the photos a certain aesthetic too, almost a glow. And assuming you have darkroom facilities, it's actually really cheap to print. The cost of chemicals and an enlarger is far less than a professional 10mpx digital camera and one hell of a printer. But mostly it's just art students and professional photographers you'll find with dinosaurs.

I don't think I've drawn Frankie on 2draw yet, have I? :O

Okay, so I was trying again with the real person type deal I did with Mad. I don't think this one is as good.
Oh well. I still like it.

The mouth is odd, but the rest of it makes up for the odd shape. Liking the colors, and I WANT that jacket.

This is like those 70's mobiles that were so popular back then. Or was that 60's?
Glad to see you back Tammy.
