i want to know if you are student in art school

damnskippytakn-a-break (Aug 10, 2004)

Before looking at this pic I didn't realize just how thirsty I'd become. Pour me a glass. Oh yeah, leave the bottle.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 10, 2004)

nope, not a student in art school manga... took private lessons as a child and have a couple of artists in my family who taught me.. I've been painting for almost 30 years.

The Silver Lining

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 7, 2004)

I love the trees and the ground vegetation! This is a great picture, I love this kind of scene and you did it really well!

Gigge (Aug 9, 2004)

Hah, Marcello. I've actually heard that the silver lining is on the inside of the cloud. But, I've also seen clouds split open with a knife so that the silver lining is visible and the light peaks out a little like it does here. Very pretty, DBA.

Kasha (Aug 10, 2004)

sometimes I don't want to comment on your pics because you have too many comments already. COMMENT HOGGER!

so yeah! what Poppa said! GREAT TREES! :D

damnskippytakn-a-break (Aug 10, 2004)

SO YOU'RE THE INFAMOUS BLONDE ARCHER? My God, and that is exactly what I see. You certainly captured this picture with allegiance. Brilliant!

oh, yes, muchly so

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Aug 9, 2004)

The only suggestion I have is to apply some to your lips and go kiss somebody!!!! :)(nice job)

davincipoppalag (Aug 10, 2004)

Yes, very nice. To me, the proportions of the base seem off a tad..it doesn't look like a full cylindrical shape.
Nice work though

damnskippytakn-a-break (Aug 10, 2004)

Other then the dirty lip head on it, it looks like I could just pick that right up and use it! And, well...it's not really my color! Very nice.

Hehe, DBA, you could always paint the blossoms like the cards do for the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.

davincipoppalag (Aug 10, 2004)

Very purdyful..(its August,,shouldnt you be out tormenting the tarantulas?)

Aren't clouds fun? I see a dozen or more things in this.. nice star

DMV (Aug 9, 2004)

LOL@ sombody's comment... I see a clown or a sesame street character:)
COOL!

Gigge (Aug 9, 2004)

Cool. This reminds me of the way they used to create dust cloud special effects by running cotton through an old movie projector.

Knockoff (Aug 10, 2004)

oh, those are you purdy! o_o. You did an amazing job on these. Awesome stuff.

Hahaha, great stuff. Didn't guess this was one of yours, DMV. And, true to form there's a clown(fish).

DMV (Aug 8, 2004)

Yes a clown fish LOL!...Hey! it's time for clown drawing? LOL!

starmarked (Aug 9, 2004)

Aww yeah! was thinking about drawing a SB picture. Looks like he is doing one of those girly screems he does. I like it!

Knockoff (Aug 10, 2004)

Oh my.... DMV. Shame on you. LOL.
This is awesome. You drew it so well, too.

Blue Heron

alwaysLearning (Mar 10, 2004)

This is a blue heron, painted based on the one in this photo, which I found on the web. I started out working without an immediate visual reference, but the bird I created looked nothing like a Blue Heron, so I started over, working from the photo.

For that matter, any useful comments and suggestions will be gratefully appreciated -- not that I would say no to compliments, either... *grin*

Edit: I specifically chose the reference photo that I did, because I liked the soft, painted look of the heron in the photo itself. So, this piece will still have a soft look, just a more detailed soft look, when finished. Any suggestions on technique to achieve that look would be very welcome. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 10, 2004)

This is very pretty... it already is taking on a soft, but detailed look, which is what I like. I looked at your reference photo and so far you are getting there. You can have alot of fun playing with the light that is happening there - you should take advantage of that. I don't know if this applet has an airbrush (I use lascaux only) but if it does, it works nicely for things you want to have a *soft* look to, and then for the details you can come back with a regular brush or antialias brush and add them. It looks like you are using a light opacity, which is good for soft. Keep layering light opacities and then add your detail and I think you'll get what you want. (btw - you have a nice grin! lol)

alwaysLearning (edited Mar 10, 2004)

Believe it or not, this *is* me trying to condense my comments. *sigh* On the other hand, there's only so much I can compress into so few words, and I don't see much point in asking for comments without giving information on what I'm looking for. I also try to give people a chance to know who they're talking to, when I join a new site.

I *am* going for something stylized, not photo-exact, so I'm not trying for exact feathers -- but at the same time I am also trying for something that's got the look and feel of that photo, since that's what made me choose it. So, the question stands, if anyone has any suggestions as to how to get that look and feel a bit more closely on the wings. Regardless, I still appreciate the comment, feedback, and suggestion.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestion, DBA! I'm still getting used to the options on the different applets, and there are some things I seem to be able to get Shi-Painter to do that I can't seem to manage on Lascaux, yet -- but there *is* an airbrush option, I'll have to give it a try, next painting session. *smile* Thanks again!

Ari (Apr 8, 2004)

Groovy heron! ^_^ I like how you drew the outline, it makes it look like an inked watercolour ^_^ *applauds*

oh wow, this looks lovely! gives me a calm vibe *baskes in the calm vibe* ahhhh

PolythenePam (Aug 9, 2004)

Possibly not intermediate, sorry. I was just having a play around, it's my first lascaux EVER! This is an exciting event people! Lol :) I've decided to try it out, 'cause I'm completely jealous of people like Axil, who do some great work with this applet. I really don't know why I ever used oekaki 'cause I really think this applet is a lot better...Better tools and stuff :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 9, 2004)

This kind of reminds me of something Axil might do (if he were a girl, maybe :) You are correct about the Lascaux being the best one... I would recommend just sticking to it - once you figure it out it will do absolutely everything you want it to.

emmamommalag (Aug 9, 2004)

This is so pretty, Poly. I love the style and the colors you used.

davincipoppalag (Aug 10, 2004)

I love this one Pam! Lascaux has so much in it once you play with it some. I discover things nearly every time!

Urei-sama (Aug 10, 2004)

i had a bad experience with lascaux... but this looks really nice. art deco goodness!

That's so cool with the little kids jumpin in and the water looks perfect (as if I expected anything less lol). You're great!! This is a perfect summertime pic.
