Dude, you'd get so horribly sick of pizza. That in itself would be hell.

Curious draw, DBA. You captured the spooky feeling quite well. Particularly nice job on those bedsheets.

Sick of pizza??? Never!

Well, the idea for this one came from a movie my daughter and I recently watched that had a theme which is one of our biggest fears... there were a couple of pervert serial killers who happened to be cops and were abducting women and girls and chaining and handcuffing them in this basement and just leaving them there... it scared both of us really badly because we've always said that was one of our biggest fears... being abducted and tortured by some weirdo.

Here is the reference. I didn't really want to post it because the photograph is so much prettier than mine. However, I wanted you all to see that the neck is supposed to be curved around. Hope you like, I had fun drawing it :)

Great job on this one! Now I want to draw another bird. You really needed alot of patience to draw in the feathers.

emmamommalag (Aug 3, 2004)

Wow, star! This is fantastic... wonderful job on the feathers. It looks so soft and the eye is so real.

Gigge (Aug 7, 2004)

The feathers do look soft and as if they've caught a bit of air in them...billowy. The texture on the beak is really nice too.

I'm sorry, I'll look under your bed for ya from now on lol. Yup I was up all night drawin again Momma and Poppa. *hugs and kisses*

This is probably the most ethereal looking caveman I've seen (usually they're all earth colors)! I really like that "shadow-with-highlights-in-it" in the area under his chin.

Gigge (Aug 7, 2004)

Very nice. He looks like he's just been thawed out of an iceberg.

Gigge (Aug 7, 2004)

Well, since all the chairs are taken, I guess I'll go for a swim. I love that reflection in the puddle under the chairs.

somebody (Aug 5, 2004)

first try at a face. I have no reference and so far she looks awkward. I think its the left eye. Shes not done yet so.....

davincipoppalag (Aug 7, 2004)

Theres a decent hair tutorial in the forums.. Also take a look at some of Everdreams, and particularly Icats they do HAIR.. nice work sindy~!

emmamommalag (Aug 7, 2004)

This is excellent for a first try, Sindy. Those eyes are very pretty and you already figured out how to blend the skin tones... that's got me stumped with lascaux. The only problems I see are that the eyes are a little too high on the face (I tend to do that too and then have to move them down) and there's too much distance between the mouth and nose. That's a very pretty mouth, btw! Keep up the good work. :)

somebody (Aug 7, 2004)

Thanks for all the great tips and advice. Your right about the nose. I saw that after I had finished. And DBA you have a great eye for....well....the eyes. lol. I didnt notice the eye lid thing or even the iris for that matter.
Thanks to all of you.

DarkHorses (Aug 7, 2004)

This is really good for a 1st time, there is way too much space between the nose and the mouth, otherwise, keep up the good work.

Gotta love the stepped shading (dunno if there's an official term for that) and accentuated musculature. The direction and color of the background makes me think he laid an apple. Sure looks proud of it.

davincipoppalag (Aug 1, 2004)

Yea Zack.Clox does that kinda shading alot. It lookls good, and though it looks simple, I bet it's not.

Knockoff (Aug 1, 2004)

WOW! Its clox again. No sandra or anything. Wooo! I love it. Your art is so sweet. Your style rocks. I wish you could draw more, though.

Aubrey (Aug 6, 2004)

That's great Clox, he has a very cool look about him. I happen ta like the shading as well :)
