firecracker: Marcello pays for this site, the more bandwidth you want for a site, the more you have to pay. A larger "canvas" takes up more bandwidth. He used to have a link for donating to the site, I don't know what happened to that, but basicly the idea is to not waste bandwidth on crap.

yep, now that makes sense, Axil.

firecracker (Mar 1, 2009)

"OK"....I understand now....I didn't know there was a "cost" involved. It makes sense to me now, so I won't complain any more about it. That's a good idea to not waste bandwidth on crap, but so far, most of the draws that I've seen posted here are really awesome....I love browsing thru all the pictures......but I have to agree...I've seen some pretty "crappy" ones posted here too. Thank you "Axil" for explaining this to me.....and thank you "Marcello" for having such a great website. :)

Here's a WONDERFUL example of an advanced drawing for anyone who may be confused:

Well, if you plan on making it advanced, I'll leave it, otherwise it will get moved. My only concern here is that I don't want people abusing the extra canvas size of the advanced board if they have no intention of making an advanced drawing.

I seen a picture once in "Life" or "Time" magazine like this of a Vietnam Buddhist priest protesting the war. This is great, the drawing shows great effects.

Amazing draw!!!

This is very different and interesting. I can't imagine doing this to myself or anyone. However, this is looking pretty good.

The Road Not Taken

Aakyra (Sep 25, 2008)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in undergrowth,
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost ~ 1875

oh Aakyra, this is truly a master piece. So lovely. You put so much of yourself and attention to every aspect of your draws.

Aakyra (Jul 20, 2009)

Sorry for the delay in saying thanks! I do appreciate the thoughtful comments. And Grey Ghost, I love the poem, it really inspired me to work to the finish on this. The picture seemed to be a visual of the words. Thanks QT! I am always honored by a commeny from you, and Sun, good friends always!

sofballchik0323 (Aug 10, 2009)

oh this is beautiful!! the poem is great too, i actually sang a song with those words for as a solo a few years ago, my first thought when i saw this was that you had heard the song, it adds another level of meaning to the words as only music can. but this is an absolutely gorgeous painting and i hope you do more landscapes soon :)

Aakyra (Aug 10, 2009)

I am sure that your performance was wonderful... the words are really beautiful, and I didn't think until you mentioned it how lovely they would be set to music! Thank you for the comment, it was so very nice!

Contest Week 95: Musical Portraits

Kloxboy (edited Jun 23, 2010)

Contest Week 95: Musical Portraits (10 days) Paint a portrait of a musician in the style of their music. The portrait should be the focal point of your entry but you can draw other elements and symbols around the portrait if you wish, just make sure the "musical expression" is coming through in the portrait itself. You can do this in any style you want, realistic, caricature, abstract, as long as I get a sense of what the musician looks like and what their music sounds like. If the mus...
