I am doing the same sort of drawing in photoshop- and its already far more complicated than this.... guess I may have another go on intermediate...

love your style Cmb, always have.

Thanks Miss DJ,,, just wish space wasnt so limited...

show-off :P

For 10 minutes it does look very good, but another 20 minutes or more could have made it that much better. (not to mention everything posted on this board is supposed to be at least 30 minutes long anyways)

That is a good 10 minute sketch compared to some but I agree with Panda, a little more effort in your pieces please.

Wooh. This strikes me everytime I scroll over it.
It's one of those hopeless overreacted smiley faces.

Your home gets destroyed by an enormous explosion but you think one fat smile can save it all ^^

Thanks everyone, it was actually suppose to be a caricature of Nancy Pelosi, but maybe subconsciously I was thinking of Jerri Blank from Strangers with Candy. Ouf, either their resemblance is uncanny or I’m just going to have to work doubly hard on my next caricature. haha! Thanks again. :)

This is really great! Love it!

Thanks! Although that you risk to make something that doesn't "look good", there is also a high risk to learn something new and get inspiration for further work.
In my eyes it's all about skill and making mistakes.
When I paint, then I try do implement some elements that I already mastered (being able to do them intentionally), and as I paint there occur some unintended mistakes. Some of them look interesting and others do not.
So I try to follow those new elements and try to understand what makes them so interesting. And if I don't make mistakes, I force them to happen by drawing intentionally not correct.
It is a lot of fun, but you should not try to many different things at once. Keep it simple and try to put some time into this new thing.

Making too many mistakes at once (well, you/me already do infinite unintended movements at any moment) makes your work seem pretty random.
And this is what I do wrong...I do not develop enough skill in every style.
I do not draw enough to handle them all.


EDIT: Is it just me, or can others also not see most images on 2draw?

I totally agree. I let my imagination and skill collaborate as much as possible, and I'm all about happy mistakes sometimes. I like your system.

And yes, every other day, it seems a good third of the images don't load properly. Might be our browsers though, not sure. oO

Dr.Snoopy: you put in words what I was discovering in an intuitively way.

Oh wow,This caused me to have a major nostalgia attack D:
I remember sitting with my brother and playing that game for HOURS D:

Terra was the WIN D:

No final fantasy can beat VI D<

Many thanks, glad you guys liked it =)

So agree on the background. If you took the girl out it'd be a nice landscape I'd hang on my wall. Reminiscent of impressionist watercolors.

Thanks my friends for the wonderfull coments......:]
