Thanks so much for the suggestion! I might try it a little later if I can muster up enough guts. At this stage, I really don't feel qualified to be doing anything on the intermediate board. For now, though, I must try to get some other things done around here. cripes...this stuff is addictive!

Lol this is coming along nicely Dejas. Good colors. It really IS addictive isnt it!

I can't believe I'm actually going to try this again. After seeing what my Dad's been able to do on here lately, I thought I'd give it another attempt.

Maybe download the lates edtion of Java from www.java.com? Glad you came back. Your dad is doing some great stuff! Get your brother out from under that VW and make him draw!
DejasView (May 3, 2004)
Thanks for the suggestion, davinci. I downloaded the latest version of java but it still didn't help. I understand the problem might have something to do with some sort of limitation that Lascaux has with the IE browser. I have no intention of changing my preferred browser just to accommodate an online drawing so I guess I will just have to live with it.

Hey...welcome back! Nice piccy...too bad about that loading problem tho...

So glad you came back to draw! I love the colors you used here... keep messing around with the applet and soon it'll be just like painting or drawing in real medium... you'll get used to it. :) (I recommend sticking with the Lascaux)

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.
