Thanks for the comments/advice on the last draw. I put in a few harder lines on this draw, but I didn't use the anti-alies to do thin highlights. I found that it blurs the line too much and makes the line 2 or three pixels wide. What worked better for me was turning off the anti-alias and blend and using a low opacity and high flow to draw thin highlights. But, thanks for the suggestion!

drawn in 1 hour

Ok...i sharpened the bowl slightly, added a touch more definitiion to the glass outline and 'clarified' the base of the glass. Thanks for the hints.

fab gigge .....is beautiful nice to see you drawing here as well as in the game

I think what it is about this is the bg kind of camouflages the glass.. I think with a different bit of color back there the glass would stand out more... its much better as I stare at it.. but that bg hides it...

Just browsing yer board....this one is beautiful! I love the blending and colors, especially the contrast between the grey and the wine. LOL....sorry, but I think of things in terms of where I'd like to see them....this would make an absolutely beautiful cover for a wine menu.

@!*@%^#$%#! Lascaux! This was really a hands study, http://www.reinhardschmid.de/myhands/photos/hands35_2g_s.jpg. The background was just because I've been working on faces and light and dark.

Thanks for all the compliments and especially the suggestions on how to improve. They really help me.

Wow...the hands are so realistic...and I love that ring. Fabulous job, Gigge...wow. :]

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 29, 2004)

Very nice hands, and good distribution of light and shadows. Love how the ring and the irises match.

JackSprat (Jul 26, 2004)

All I can say on this one, is Wow! The details on wrinkling and texture on the hands is fantastic.

thanks, i am trying really hard, to get the missing link in my drawings, realism. so i just practice as much as i can, try this and that. lol, but its fun...

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jul 25, 2004)

One of the things I see you could improve on (which was also my worst problem to try to correct and I am still working on it) is to get more definition in things... less blurriness. After blending, go back over with a few brush strokes around the edges to define stuff.. it makes it more realistic looking.

Pretty hair on this one deb. They all have similar eyes Cindy. It's a very large family

You can't have C.B.S. without the BS

Aubrey (Jul 23, 2004)

I was recently employed by C.B.S. Personnel Services who placed me at Pioneer saying "Pioneer is really well known for hiring on the temporary help they get".. they also said I'd be inspectin stereo speakers. Neither was true. I was put on unpacking all the boxes while the people, who got to do what I originally signed on to do, griped cause I was goin to fast (at a turtle's pace) and treated me like a lowly peasant girl while they got to sit on their thrones and beep things all day. Soooo since everything C.B.S. told me was a lie, I've decided they really didn't false advertise because the BS is right in the name.

This is awesome. It's like yuor own personal political cartoon. I am glad to see you rebel against the corporations. I hate them corporashuns.

Zack (edited Jul 25, 2004)

Disturbingly amusing! Diablo seems to be working the hardest.
Corporations aren't evil, it's the people that work for them. And, as a rule, people are stupid. Come to the dark side! Misanthropy is the only way to stay sane!
edit: Wouldn't he have a tail then? :P

Aubrey (edited Jul 25, 2004)

lol thanks everyone. Zackkkk it's not the Devil, it's a bull pooping.. hence "BS". Silly lol

laurael (Jul 25, 2004)

I agree with everyone here, of course. You have way too much talent to waste your time with any company like that. This picture is great and funny.
