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:

And a comment from our site owner:

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.

caricature? o.O

A request from a girl on DA.
She wanted caricature that wasn't too distorted but more like a portrait.

QTgillie (Mar 1, 2009)

this has a pleasing but eerie look to it....very well executed. She seems like she would be a force to be reckoned with.

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...

quit. arguing. on my non finished drawing. its making it really hard to go back and work on (any of them). that and i started something else. which i wanted to share the process with everyone because I tried some new stuff for me, but if you are going to comment just send me a memo, or dont post or go to the forum.

Pantera (Feb 17, 2009)

So sorry Carmine, most of us do not act this way, I really like your drawings and hope you will stay here :)

I took a look at your gallery just to make sure before I said anything.
I think you are probably capable of becoming advanced some day, but you are not there yet.
If Marcello doesn't care what's on what board and the "moderators" don't moderate anymore, then so be it
but at the same time, if it's obvious that something isn't advanced and it's on the advanced board you're
most likely going hear about it. Your intermediate stuff barely qualifies as intermediate, let alone what you've done here.
I know it's unfinished but trust me, at this point, you don't have the skill to bring it up to intermediate quality. Like I said, I think you are capable of becoming advanced some day, but you need more practice first.

this is one of my all time favorites .. sorry it took me so long to comment, but I still can't find the words to express just how awesome this is!

enjoydotcom (Feb 28, 2009)

Bette, that expresses my feelings about most of his drawings as well. What is there to say when all you can do is pick up your jaw from the table?

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.

firecracker (Feb 20, 2009)

Amazing draw!!!

montezmaria (Feb 20, 2009)

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