Trying to draw http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/users/bresolin/images.varie/mantis.big.jpg"
I was desperate for the large canvas size, so I don't care how long it takes me, i'm gonna make this perfect, and worthy of advanced!

I found a praying mantis on the footpath outside school today so i picked it up and carried it all the way to the mall where i catch a bus home from. All my friends rejected me though 'cause they thought it was creepy and they wanted to squash it. Oh well. I named him Archie and let him go in the rose bushes in our front garden.

Comments and suggestions EXTREMELY welcome 'cause i want to make this best I poss. can.

I do sorta intend to do more on this, it's just it's been in my studio for ages and i couldn't draw anything else unless i "finished" something.

ah hell, just leave the BG black and call it done, it's great

LOL, I like this one. Now, what I see here is a Mantis teacher standing in front of a blackboard that a buncha little aphids wrote all over.

thanks all, i decided to go with as is, also the subject matter in all good humor, "is not a redhead' lol....and to those who are curious, my son and daughter are redheads, my sister, my brother, mom. and a couple of my friends are redheads. i am the only one who really wants it, and i doesn't have it...a wannabe.lol

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 18, 2004)

Very tranquil picture, and although all of the pretty redheads are nice, it is really great to see you branch out and do something a little different. I like this.

Aubrey (Aug 19, 2004)

My best friend is a red head.. but then again.. so's my worst enemy from childhood. The hair doesn't make ya any better or worse Longway. Dis is a good picture and it is nice to see ya other things. They're all good pictures.

LovelyLori (Aug 19, 2004)

Who's Inounewa? This is purdy Longway. The face is similar to others you've drawn but the change in the details of everything else make it very pretty too.

longway (Aug 17, 2004)

thanks everyone, axil, or dan or whatever, i'd love to have your ability. your pictures are wonderful. i do love red hair, and i almost seem destined to draw it. lol, but i'll try some other stuff too. but i won't promise not to do any redheads...lol and everyone, i am inounewa on youdraw....the graduation to color here has been difficult. but in time i'll get more versatile, and better with the programs....thanks

Mipunai (Aug 18, 2004)

Its a sheep called Mint Sauce that rides a bike. Own interpretation taken from the comic in Mountain Biking UK magazine (aka MBUK).

lol. Go Lamb-y!!

JackSprat (Aug 19, 2004)

This is awesome! wait...is there an echo in here? Nice clean lines, great piece with interesting action. LOL...too funny! I love how you've achieved depth in the tree with different colors. The sky is great too...lol...I just love this toon!

Axil62 (Aug 19, 2004)

It is great. The balance between toonland and real world is perfect. Not to mention the cool swoopy action of the bike and rider. The fact that the bike is leaning like that really adds more to it than you may think.

Aubrey (Aug 19, 2004)

I want the camera to follow him and see more trickssss *sniffles* It's just not meant to be :'( This is a really neat picture Brain and who knew sheep could be so talented? lol

hehe she's cool lookin', I wanna have a drink with her

JackSprat (Aug 19, 2004)

This is great! I love how it looks like a blend of realism and comic style. Almost like Patrick Nagel goes punk.

Axil62 (edited Aug 19, 2004)

Love it but I think V.7 is better.

"Hello CD listeners. We've come to the point in this album where those listening on cassett or records will have to stand up...or sit down and turn over the record or tape. In fairness to those listeners we'll now take a few seconds before we begin side two........thank you, here's side two."

Aubrey (Aug 19, 2004)

lol Axil. I always hated trying to find a certain song on a whole cassette tape of songs. Then when ya did find the song it was partly over so it was the whole *rewind* *fast forward* game clickin the buttons to find the beginning of the song. *sigh*
At anyyy rate, this is a really cool picture Kasha, I'm pretty sure we've all looked just like that with the hand motion and all at one point in our lives.
