My very first. Just trying to figure out all the tools. Looks like this will be fun but, I'll need to take some time to figure out how all this works.

But if the ovals weren't there it wouldn't have reminded me of the spiraley mosquitoe thingy at the drive in, and... I figured it had to be someone else in the Mod Squad that deleted it. On the time thing, though, I really think drawings should be judged first on artistic merit, and then if it totally sucks, look at the time spent, see if more time could have made it better, and then decide whether or not to delete it. I'm sure you already do that most of the time, but I have seen some real junk in here that is just annoying to even scroll past, and this one is interesting. Tea, anyone? :)

That's how it is now, look at the rules.

8 minutes, and then 4 minutes. Someone was just messing around with the different tools and stuff. The only real tangible thing is the mushroom, the rest looks like randomly places ovals (are they there for a reason? if so, what's the reason?). What about the colors? Are they chosen for a reason? I think it's deletable material, but I don't know if I would bother actually deleting it (I didn't). The thing that really bothers me is the neon green squigly lines along the bottom which doesn't help the piece at all.

The rules:

This doesn't mean you can't post 5 or 10 minute sketches, but they have to be good 5 or 10 minute sketches, and they should be mixed with pictures you put more time into. Although there is something to be learned from quick sketches in traditional art, we strongly discourage submitting these sketches.

I don't think it's that great for a quick sketch even for beginner stuff.

As for whether drawings should be judged on artistic merit, I think there's still an acceptable "bottom line" as to what is just spam.

I thought the green squiggly lines at the bottom were grass. The ovals (in my eye) were a clay pot & lid to gather the mushrooms. But then, Dejas my sister so I know how she thinks. :) Or maybe not.

I like the petals and the colors.. the bg needs more to keep it from obliterating the vase.. which itself could use a bit more shading and differentiation.. nice though

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 3, 2004)

Very pretty sunflowers, nice and painted looking. I agree about the bg, If you darkened it some and changed the color value of it it would bring the vase forward and give this depth. Very nice!

dixielandcutie (Mar 3, 2004)

nothing to add, but it looks pretty! nice work!

drworm (Mar 3, 2004)

I like the painterly feel... sort of Impressionist and loose and cool.

drawn in 6 min

ummmm...???

drworm (Mar 3, 2004)

Niiiiice... the horn looks a little thick for the size of the head, and in some places I'm having problems seeing details of the unicorn, as it blends into the background a bit. On the other hand, my monitor tends to darken things marginally, so this may be all in my imagination. Whatever my problem is, this is a very sweet drawing.

davincipoppalag (Mar 3, 2004)

lovely picture.. the colors work well ..its mystical..

15grifficorntears (Mar 13, 2004)

What do the blue plus signs in brackets that are strangely beginning to appear after picture comments mean?

On the main page at the bottom where it shows who is online, there are minutes afrter a user name like "Axil62(10 min)" so does the number of minutes represent how long they've been on or how long they've been drawing or how long it's been since they were last on or how long their (insert object of choice here) is or what? Because sometimes I log out and look at that page and it says I'm still on ya see.
