good job :)

I agree with everyone....this is great!! :)

Thanks everyone!

My dentist gave me an antibiotic that gave me colitis as a side effect....it's been terrible...

haha, when I first looked at it I thought it would say "froze off". I had the same tummy bug. it was bad. Sorry to hear about more trouble, bmw...sounds awful.

can it be possible that you've gotten even stranger since 2009? lol

Being an asshole would be a bigger problem for me :)

But heey, why are you deleting some of your stuff?

Because I'm so ashamed of it.

"LOLZZZ"!!! :D

This looks like Judith from Two and a half men with a hot curling iron up her butt.

Hi "bmw"......thanks for commenting.....I'm glad you like the pic, and I do agree with you about my using the texture tool. I know I rely on it a lot......but I didn't use it very much in this draw.....I used the "scattering tool"....not the texture tool, to make those little spots on the horse....to make him look "dappled". I used the texture tool a little bit on the "trim" of the woman's dress, and a little bit on the rope that she is holding. I don't think I used texture anywhere else. I guess I don't really try to make my own textures because the texture tool is there for that purpose. That's why I don't understand why I get lots of "flack" about using this tool, when it's there for you to use...."lol"! What is the purpose of the texture tool if you're not supposed to use it??? Chibi paint doesn't have near as many texture tools like Oekaki Shi painter has. I used to have fun playing with all the different textures that Shi painter has. Anyways.....thanks "bmw" for commenting.....I do appreciate your comments and opinions and any criticism....whether it be good or bad...."lol"! I have so much to learn yet.....I don't know if I'll ever be able to feel like an artist.....I'm still just a "novice". I just deleted the last couple of draws that I was working on, and I'm about ready to delete another draw that I've been messing around with for the last few days.....I just can't get them to turn out the way I want them to.....so I don't want to "post" them. Thanks again!! :)

I cant bring myself to delete a draw, i post pictures i dislike all the time.I just dont see the point in spending all that time on something and having nothing to show for it at the end.

Ya flubadub.....but most of the pics that you "post" are worth posting......if I had your talent and knowledge of art....I wouldn't delete any draws either. These last three draws of mine that I was working on are really not worth posting. Two of them I already deleted, and this third one I was trying to do a draw using a "ref" pic by an artist named "Mullan".....and I can't get this pic to look right.....I'm just so frustrated with working on it, and if I did post it.....you would probably say it "sucks"! "lol" :)

He gives me the willies...seems like we should see more of his nose, like part of the other nostril. Scary looking man well done.

(hope this little story doesn't bore you too much....if it does, you can slap me around later =p

I learned a song in sign language a few years ago, a Christmas song to be exact called "Humble Mary, Gentle Mary." (or was that "Gentle Mary, Humble Mary"??) ....Anyway, I learned it from a deaf woman/friend of mine so I could lead her thru the song she was performing during a children's Christmas performance we put together. It wasn't easy to learn as it had many many motions but I was determinded!

During the performance at one point in the song, she swung her hand down and out and hit the live mic stand next to her, knocking it over to the floor with a big crash (she didn't hear a thing tho>wink<)..but, we kept going and finished the song to great applause.

The funny part is that this song was the only (seemingly) 'serious' part of the production but it left everyone a bit confused as to whether or not it was set up and supposed to happen because the play, called "Nativity, The Final Dress Reheasal", was about kids rehearsing for a Christmas play who were not understanding the true meaning of Christmas and sorta write their own parts...for example..."Mary" dresses up in a fancy robe and slippers because after all, she "IS giving birth to the Son of God so why shouldn't she dress up a little" and one of the 3 wise men comes out dressed up as Elvis...he told his mother he needed a costume for a play because he's playing "a King"...She thinks he's playing the part of "The King" and gets him the Elvis costume...he even had a grand entrance with strobe lights, fog and Elvis moves...lol..

Many other 'rehearsed mistakes' take place throughout the whole performance and to this day, no one knows for sure if that mic was hit on purpose or not =) LOL!

nice draw, patience!

I like your story, Elly.
About me..
I'm a funny person.
I've been accused of being 'too nice.'
I used to sing professionally.
I lived in Arizona for 7 yrs, and it was magical.
I've kissed someone for 45 minutes without doing anything else and it was bliss.
Some music moves me to the point of distraction.
I love too deeply.
I'm too hard on myself.
I've done many drugs in my life and am blessed to be alive.
I haven't done any drugs or alcohol since March 12, 1989.
I've been a Den Mother, assistant Soccer Coach, a model and a dancer.
I love creative projects and I've created 2 books so far.
I put together a Celebration of Life Video for two of my favorite people.
My Grandfather looked like Burt Lancaster and my Grandmother looked like Maureen O'hara, and my Mom looked like Natalie Wood as a young girl.
People used to say I looked like Marie Osmond, and in 8th grade, I 'went steady' with a boy for one week who looked like Donny Osmond...lol
When I was 25, I sang at Wahweap Lodge at Lake Powell, in Page, Az. and a little girl asked me for my autograph after the dinner set we did. :o)
My best trait is my friendliness.
My worst trait is my intolerance.

I went to Arizona for Christmas. It wasn't like I imagined but it still was such a wonderful place. Gorgeous scenery, too. I'm going to move there at the end of February.
Love your work. ♥
