thanks. lol hey you know what, that sunflower face looks almost like my face though. lmao just kidding. it's a lonely sunflower actually. why? because it's different from all other sunflowers. it's tired of being considered the 'happy' flower (since it's so yellow and bright), that's why it's frowning. hehe

To me, Deadly, the focal point is more the eye/boat than the sunflower, or even the tree really, being the dominant form. Christy, this is probably about my favorite that you've done. The colors, I guess. The way you mix them is unique and yes, as Iwonder said, vibrant. The strongest parts are obviously the tree trunk, and the grass and rocks around it. Rich tones and I like the way you texturize by using thin brushes and going over the same area in different colors (lights and darks). Good details there in the grass and tree trunk. The sun's face looks like the sun stones I've seen on certain structures. Good work.

Ohh. Thats very cool. I love the tree, and all the detail. Awesome!

I like the shiney/gloweyness of the flower petals. Do you want to add more to it, so you don't have all that space left?

wicked!!............uh....ya......i really like the eyes!

This makes me think of Final Fantasy. This is almost like the animation in that movie. It just looks so realistic. The hair is great. :)

o wow. that's pretty. yeah, it also makes me think of FF, but that's ok. very pretty...

YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR PINK!!! >:[

HAH SHUT UP Marcello... :) Sooo pretty in pink...It looks like a little valentine... Valentine's Day is the only holiday I observe, by the way, and BOY do I observe it. ;) I thought about doing a different icon, but I just love waving my Texas flag around so much I can't seem to ditch it.

Don't ditch your icon. It's like your status symbol... Goes with your name... I'd be so lost if you changed it. (Can you tell that I'm not good with change. :-P)

mhmm, I like this quite a bit. I like how she is basking in that ray.

Wow! this came out absolutely beautiful Lori! I luffs it.

Oh this is pretty. The light coming from the top right corner is really neat. I like the texture of the petals and the face.

Nawww....chello is a great person. After all, he's the founding father of 2draw. He deserves a month...! :)

This is good Anna, Looks real. I like it, I think its sexy.

It is the nose of the president from woody allen's sleeper. Give it back! you are doing so well.

lol spirit. It is a little rough sweetie, but it's not bad for a beginner. My favorite part is the big star on the right. It really shines. Like I say, Vera, I think you have a pretty good grasp of color, if you could just get bold and not worry so much about the outcome, I think you could make some nice colorist works. Try being more impressionistic if you want: worry less about exact and perfect forms and just make gestures with color. Also, try working less with the pattern tools.

Oh I think it looks fine. Although maybe you should add a bit of shine on the heart but other than that it looks pretty good. And I'm not saying that to be polite or anything but it does look illustrative. lol The stars are really nice, they're shining, (especially the one on the right) and you did really make some nice light and dark areas. I like the texture too. But keep up the good work. Just put more emphasis on the heart since that's what's more focussed.
