Ok...time to move on. I think I learned alot more from doing this one pic than trying to do several rough sketches. Too bad I learned more toward the end of the draw than the beginning. Maybe I should retitle it 'Tree frog sitting on string of green chile peppers'.

I think you did a great job, especially since you are new to the tools... I'm still learning (every time I use the applet) I think if you had put some highlights on the outer perameters of the frog it would have brought him to the foreground and separated him from the background a little, but other than that I think it's perfect.

Thats real good.

Gigge (Jun 15, 2004)

Yeah, DBA, I was wondering whether I should add a 'glow' around the frog. I got up the courage to ask a mod for more space, but I've just redone 3 pics so I'll wait a bit to touch up this one.

A portrait of my favorite TV character of all time, Archie Bunker. Actually, I hate TV fo the most part and those reality shows blow! I know, it's not photo realistic, it's not finished but it looked so painterly and cool, I say it's done. I used my mouse. Pic: http://www.angelfire.com/rings/cloxboy/archie.gif

awesome portrait. It's actually nice you leave the hair unfinished, so it's more like a drawing than photo

Yup, that looks like Texas allright. Like the grass detail and the sky is great. (if this is a view from the rearview mirror,..it'd be per.... wait a minute, I just remembered the Magnum,..never mind).

This here is Mizz Cindy's driveway...she just fired up the Silverado..and headed out to check the mailbox..waaaaay off in the distance.... nice one good perspective

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 14, 2004)

Naw, we have lots of trees where I am. This would be what somewhere close to Amarillo looks like. (Although there are a few places out here close that look kinda like this)

thug (Jun 14, 2004)

that'd be a great place to fly a kite. Looks like the tractor dude has a full days job plus. This is another good one Cindy!

Very cool picture...that dollar sure looks real...but in my world, it's 'Another day, another 'dime'...(inflation ya know...)...jk (but it sure 'feels' like it).

DejasView (Jun 12, 2004)

Amazing. A lot of symbolism could be construed from this piece.

Pantera (Jun 13, 2004)

I really do not know what to say about your drawings, I think all has been said by others. I have seen most of them and love them all. Your talent is amazing, thank you for sharing with us :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 13, 2004)

Thank ya'll so much... the ppl here that appreciate stuff are what makes it so enjoyable. :)

Very cool...everyone that's doing reflections is doing a wonderful job. I like pics of horses...this one has a hint of color that's just perfect...great!

Supergurl103 (May 31, 2004)

this is very nice, davin, very pretty, lovely horse :)

mx (edited Jun 2, 2004)

Nice painting :)
I like the simplistic use of color(not too many colors, but more subtle)the contrasrt of light and dark is also quite a feature.
Go well

By the way...that girl i drew, is crazy about horses. She will probably like this pic a lot.

Pantera (Jun 13, 2004)

I love this :) you do such good paintings.

Maybe they're evil zombies trying to listen in the conversation to make sure they aren't gonna dig up their corpses, so they can rest in peace...?Just a guess.

They are just talking about the weather, and that guy there is paranoid, that's all. I love the way ya'll did the ppl in the background, and the lighting and stuff back there. Very cool and original.

he looks kind of kingly to me as well. Unfortunatley, he is only a figurehead of parliament.

Thats a cool bird. :) The sketchy shading is really good too. Wonderful job.

He may be only a figurehead to the public, but the Admiral relies on his advice! Good sketch Dino , it kinda looks like Margaret Thatcher

We have troopers here... State Troopers.... they aren't green, though, well... on second thought, I did get pulled over once on the way home from Galveston by a trooper who looked kinda green, he prolly had some bad shrimp for lunch or something, I dunno. He asked for my phone number instead of writing me up for speeding, and I gave him the number for the Harris County Morgue, (which I had memorized for those special occasions) and then I just sped away. This is a nice drawing, and if you enjoy yourself that's all that really matters. You might dabble in a few different color values and try some blending on the next one. :)

DMV (Jun 11, 2004)

If you work on this more...I think it would come out better:)
needs some shading . did you use more than one layer on this piece?
Well good going dude:)

Thear (Jun 12, 2004)

Thx! ^^ yea i think i used 4 layers =P

davincipoppalag (Jun 12, 2004)

Yea Thear.. what DMV said.. this can be a really good one with some more shading and contrasts!
