A very nice friend of mine made a webpage for me w/ some of my photographs and my drawings from this site, and there are a couple of trial versions of drawing programs you can download from the header page (at the top under Downloads). The one he recommended for me to try is the Corel 8... I haven't been able to download it and try it yet as it takes a while and I keep losing my connection and having to start over. I don't have a painter program of my own and was wondering what the best ones out...

My first crack at doing a realistic pic. I usually don't use Lauscaux Sketch, but I really like the shading and blending tools. Far from finished.
EDIT: Wanted to revise to work more on the shading but I reached my 200 kb limit... Oh well..... I'm satisfied with it... I guess. LOL

Good job on the rocks.. they arent easy, and the browns worked well for you.

Ooh...like this. The hills are alive with color...

Great job fin.. this is exactly what it looked like when I used to see it. It was exactly that green you drew. This is the best I have seen you do.

Alwyn's Sundial

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 19, 2004)

Sundial/tombstone of a girl named Alwyn who died at age 3 in November of 1938
The inscription reads "Turn youre face to the sun, and the shaddowes will fall behind you."

I know this is a strange subject for a piece of art, but something about this was so appealing to me... I found it sad, beautiful, and a little bit eerie at the same time. The way it was all covered with moss, the beautiful blue stone that was carved so carefully, and the strange way things were spelled... I don't know.. it made me wonder about the little girl, and I just liked it alot.

Good one DBA..I like the rendering of the stone base to this. We have a number of very old cemetaries here with all kinds of odd inscriptions. They are very cool. I have one of those shell lights.. it's like a clamshell with a frosted pearl in side and there is a light that changes colors softly inside the pearl. It's a cool night light.

emmamommalag (Apr 20, 2004)

This is really cool. I love to tramp around in old cemeteries.. interesting reading there.

thug (Apr 21, 2004)

this is wonderful, I like old grave markers too. Some of them give you the creeps. One night back in the 80's my friends and I played frizbee golf in a cemetary at night with glow in the dark Frizbes. that was a bit creepy too

laurael (edited Sep 11, 2004)

My sister and I used to go to this really old, small cemetery, way on top of this hill down the road from where we lived, to read the grave markers (it was a spooky feeling being the only ones around and seemed to draw us in every time). One day, we stumbled upon this grave marker for a baby and I remember feeling so sad reading the words on it. It was awhile ago though, I can't remember them, but this reminds me of that...
edit, again...I got so caught up in the story that I forgot to tell you what a great job you did with the picture! Great job!

foxman8245 and RavioloiTheDancingClown (Apr 18, 2004)

I have tried to do a somewhat realistic pic but just can't get it.... I'm thinking Lauscaux would be better to use as far as the blending and shading goes. So... does anyone want to collab on this with me to finish it?? Could really use some help.
The hair is supposed to be a bowl cut with the sides shaved..
EDIT: Good job Raviolio !! Too cool !

Is it just me or does it look like a hand reaching in through the window and grabbing his head? lol I like Dead's idea.. and maybe a mouse gnawing on a bread crust just under the edge of the bed.

davincipoppalag (Apr 20, 2004)

I think a pale arm laying across the floor from under the bed.... like he's wondering what to do with the body..
