nice shell and the background is awesome sand. I love water stuff. You should do another cool shell and then put a turtle inside of it.

Nice texture on the shell!!! It's almost transparent. I love how you drew to sea too! It's beautiful!

Anything with the sea in it I love. This shell makes me want to pick it up. Beautiful

Hear him here. (have your sound enabled)

this is smokin'
where you been axil.

cool stuff


edit: a year later and I still think so

In High school, as far as me and my friends were concerend KISS was the enemy. lol So was Disco. :o) Of course that has no bearing on your skills here.

Of course they were, lol.. But I wouldn't compare them to Disco. I personally hung the poster to scare my mother and annoy my daddy. It worked. :)

Hahah, that's great! Your daughter enjoyed the same thing you do. Awesome drawing.

This is very nice... it really has a stormy feeling to it, good choice of colors.

Nice landscape here.I like the colors XD.

nice... i wish i could do landscapes...

that's better. lovely reddish shade. kind of changes the feel of the picture.

One of my all-time favourite songs, Axil - and you did it justice. The final version really captures the feelings of "the shadows wash the room", in a way that the earlier versions didn't, leaving the image more disconnected from the song. This brings them back into a connected whole, as a picture and its description should be, IMHO. :) The only flaw is not in the image or its execution, but in the connection between it and the song - because she doesn't look "couched in indifference", but instead intently focused. No insult intended, though -- the piece is gorgeous, regardless.

lovely

Thanks yall. :)

Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)

sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)

nice textures

aww, and so beautifully painted by you! one of my favorite flowers.

time for something cheerful

I got to say that I am amazed ya'll take the time to post after the drawings I see in showcase! I am lowly on this totem pole.
