From a black and white photo. I chose this subject based on several factors, I like the angle the shot was taken from, it creates an impression of superiority. The black and white was also something I felt like trying to "get right" and last but not least the shot showed lots of detail in the muscles that I felt would be a good challenge, something that would hold my interest and make me put forth some effort, good exercise. I redid this comment after finaly having read the rules.

...Elvan assassin. Don't know why, it turned out bloody again. Any suggestions for background are welcome.
I like the skull. took me an hour to draw. So tired right now. I rarely draw 3 hour straight (I had to submit it during differnt stages just in case my browser froze). especially with empty stomatch...

Reflection in Roses

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 25, 2004)

I originally did a work similar to this with oil on canvas about 10 years ago. I believe it was while I was studying a book called "How to Paint Roses".

The trellis gave me a hard time, I need to learn how to layer.

Axil62 (edited Jan 25, 2004)

Think of layers as a stack of window glass or "clear" paper. Each piece in the stack can instantly be made available for painting on by clicking it's corresponding layer representation in the layers box. This way you can paint and erase all you like on one layer without disturbing whatever you have painted on the other layers. You can change the order of the layers by holding the mouse button down on the layer you want to move and dragging it to a lower level. Also you can click on a layer in the layer box and use the little slider tool (looks kind of like a crude volume control thing) under the layer box to make the selected layer more "see through" so that what ever layers are under it show through the painted part in varying degrees depending on how transparent you made that layer. You can also click on the little "v" on a layer in the layer box to make that layer not visible so you can see what the other layers look like without that layer...if you like you can then delete that layer by clicking on it's icon in the layers box and then clicking on the delete button in the layers box. I should also mention that this is all pertaining to the Lascaux Sketch paint program, some of it it may be relevent to other paint programs, I dunno.
