Ok, so let's get this started. First thing is to pick a date and find out who's coming. FAQ: What is it? The original pretext was "2draw-con" but we really do not have the resources or backing (or legal support) to do anything extravagant or serious, so we're calling this a 2draw meet. Basically, come at your own risk/safety/etc., we cannot be held responsible for disappearances and whatnot. There will probably be some kind of age restriction and/or parental requirement, and...

I love the window.......I would love to see the whole house it's connected to.

Axil62 (Jan 17, 2006)

I'll post a link to the house. Note though, that I used different parts of the three windows at the bottom and combined them to make one window that had all the properties I wanted for this one window, so this window will look familiar to the windows in the ref, but not a literal copy of any one of them.

Thanks for sharing, great windows on that house....but I like yours better....and not just because you left off the cheap K-Mart mini blinds...

This just great. Very moody, the first glimpse of this just made me think of summer time, ice-cream, cicadas churping. Fantastic work.

terracotta (Jan 11, 2006)

I can hear the pound of the hoofbeats and I sorta feel like I'm choking on dust when I look at this. It's one of my favourite works I've seen on this site. I've come back to it many times and can sit and look at it for long periods because it evokes a place and time for me.

thank you very much :) I am flattered.

I didnt think, giving people advice was negitive criticism. Besides, he wants people to give him advice on what OTHER people think he/she should do to mke it better, that is not nessasarily criticism.

Alright MBS, how about this; Keep practicing and don't get discouraged! (that was the core message in my last comment)

Mybettastorm, There is one thing i think you forgot to mention: How the use of layers. Make its much easier to keep the horizon line defined and how using the layers to making sepertions or in this case, the water/fore layers and the sky as the background layer. Then after having set the colors the way, wanted. use of dodge tool as means of adding lights or brightness. (for those not fimilar with the dodge tool)
Like in all things and ART. Art; no exseption this is something that over time will get better and better with practice.
So any advice keep a steady eye and keep on drawing. If your hearts in it don't stop.
