Was trying to draw a female face without reference but ended up hating the result, so I started messing with the right eye which I especially disliked and then ultimately just started doodling random, disjointed shapes all around her face.

It has a Giegeresque feel to it. This will be great.

pretty cool stuff, David...looks a little bit like one of the coneheads from Saturday Night Live... :) (I like the labyrinth design inside the outline of her face)

Just scribbled over the original image since I didn't like it.

I can sincerely say that I like both of them. The second version you say you "scribbled" over... I think it looks a bit more like Monet impressionist strokes insted of scribbles. They are both really interesting and pleasing to look at.

davincipoppalag (Mar 29, 2006)

I like them both, too. This latest one sort of looks like a combination of Anthony Hopkins, and Charles Laughton.

Anthony Hopkins and Charles Laughton.... on a stick!!!
...I'm sorry.

I like this thing you do where you add colour/value with little short lines. Looks cool, very different from other stuff seen here.

Thanks everyone, but yes, I was really wondering what was up with the comments. Did everyone else realize this is a head impaled on a stick with blood coming out of the eyes and the eye on the right being pushed out of the eye socket? I think it's really ugly and nasty: a terrible thing to look at. I was in a terrible mood when I doodled this, and it was really frustrating to me that I couldn't delete that original version which wasn't even marked as finished. Now I wish once again that I could delete, as this is a thing of nightmares.

The short little strokes and scribbles are really just me being lazy. I want to not be so painterly and blend things in, but I had a hard time doing this in lascaux. In painter, I tend to paint this scribbly way at first, but then I use the blend tools to quickly smudge them into these nice smooth regions of color. I can't really do that so easily in lascaux. :(

Looking awesome. I drew a hella bunch of cars for a game and I found the toughest thing was the placement of the wheels. Looking forward to seeing this finished.

I love mustangs! I've always wanted one. This is really good. Nice Job!

staci (Mar 29, 2006)

cindy: i still have the feeling. this is bjork, so its not wonderfully creative, i just had to draw, or my head would explode i think. its a weird thing...i used to be more creative when my mood was down, but now that my mood is up, i cant draw..so its making me depressed..haha. anyway..thanks for hating me. ^_^

Nice idea,Donna. It looks strong, but fragile at the same time.

hunter...in matters of the heart...things are always shifting..lol..thanks! and thank you DBA and poppa!!

woah_pockster (Mar 28, 2006)

wow o_o this really drags me in.. it must be the contrast between the blurry bg and the sharp solids in the fore ground.. o_o.. I LOVE IT
how do you do these? they're awesome I'm so jealous of you! <333333

Miss_DJ (Mar 28, 2006)

thank you!! wow...hey..the tools are all there...in Lascaux. I used a combination of blur, sharpness, difference with different opacity and desaturation. I'm havin a blast..glad you like it! -Donna

mooooore contrast!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Mar 27, 2006)

exactly, good advice... something to remember... don't be afraid of the "dark" - The light doesn't show without it. (I like how you did the irises of her eyes)

davincipoppalag (Mar 27, 2006)

I like those eyes, too. What Marcello said.

Mocha_Bean (Mar 28, 2006)

Thanks everyone! This is my 2nd attempt at skin tones...I'm better with black and white tones...but I'll definitely follow your advice...

Lovato

Axil62 (Mar 27, 2006)

When I was seven, there was a girl named Julie Lovato who lived up the hill and across the dirt road in my neighborhood. I liked her and I wanted her to like me. She wouldn't give me the time of day. I would take my Schwinn Stingray and ride it past her house on the dirt road. I would wait till I thought maybe she might be looking out the window and I would wipe out on purpose hoping she would come to nurse me and be worried about me. I got a lot of skinned knees and bruises that summer. She never did come out and sometimes I wonder if I ever really did quit trying.

This is not good this is a bad use of colours and looks like CRAP

Axil62 (Mar 31, 2006)

Yeah, not enough contrast and complimentary color I guess.

Artiste (Mar 31, 2006)

Claire's expertise like gold! I wish she would comment on MY peices... lucky!

Schwinn's were the shit. I wish I still had mine. It was blue also, but w/ a regular seat. I could do a wheelie on it for as long as I wanted.
